Log off and back on, or restart. Do they all work then?

I myself have found the build pretty buggy actually...it is a dev preview (pre-beta) after all.

You might have mentioned that in your first post then. :p


How about trying the Refresh option in Win 8?

Go to the start menu - control Panel on the main Metro desktop - General - Refresh Your PC (follow instructions for that).

Or go to the More settings at bottom there - (the old style Control Panel) - Recovery - Refresh.

Make sure you're aware of what it will do though (will remove any third party apps you've installed).
