Apps Stuck At Restoring User Data
Jul 3, 2015I'm on build 10162 and I've got 3 apps that have downloaded and have now been 'restoring user data' for a few hours. Is there a way to reset the store so there apps will finish installing?

Delete All User Accounts Before Restoring Windows 7
Dec 4, 2015After I upgraded to windows 10, I added a couple of new user accounts and deleted the only original windows 7 account. Now I can't delete the last remaining user account because it doesn't allow me to delete it while signed in.
Question 1: how do I delete this remaining user account?
Question 2: without a user account, how can I access the restore option to eliminate windows 10 and restore windows 7?
Question 3: will I be forced to reinstall windows 7 from scratch, and if so, do I need to do anything before installing windows 7?
Downgrading To Win 7 Seems Stuck In Restoring
Aug 16, 2015I upgraded using the basic upgrade from Microsoft the other day. Last night I had to downgrade back to 7 as my laptop just wouldn't do a thing with stalling or crashing. I used the recovery guide and now it seems it's restoring and then when it's done the Dell pic comes up with f1 f2 options changes to the wind 10 sign and then changes again back to restoring your previous version of Windows.
View 1 RepliesAccounts :: Move / Copy-paste User Account Data And Docs To New User Account Same Sys
Feb 10, 2016I had hoped Windows 10 corrected the "rename user account" function but nope. I renamed a User Account due to conflict on the LAN [same name, same spelling] and sure enough, now I have two names for the account, one a slightly hidden original name, and permissions issues. To rid it, I will create an all new Administrator account, move everything over, and demolish the old. How to do? the docs/files are easy... the settings for apps etc are not as I recall

View 2 RepliesBackup - SSD (OS And Programs) And HDD (User Data)
Nov 30, 2015I am planning on building a new PC in the coming months and am trying to figure out the best backup solution for it.
My current plan is to install Win10 and all programs on a 500GB SSD and store all personal files on a 2 or 3TB HDD. I've found plenty of tutorials online for moving the Windows "Users" folder to a separate drive either during installation or afterwards.
However I am wondering if doing that will mess up using Window's backup? If either the SSD or the HDD fails, will Windows Backup be able to restore all the files to their proper locations (i.e OS and programs to SSD and data to HDD)?
I've used Windows 7's backup in the past to restore all my data after a HDD failure and it worked flawlessly. However, I'm not committed to using it exclusively. Any other backup options. This computer is going to be the family computer, with all my wife's data on it, so I need to make it "just work".
Apps :: Restoring Disabled Modern Apps?
Aug 1, 2015So I ran the following in my PowerShell:
Code:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
This has made Windows 10 SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. My question is, what if someday I want to restore some of those disabled apps? Right now, there isn't really anything in the Microsoft Store I want... but who knows, maybe in 6 months, there could be some good stuff in there. How would I go about restoring the Microsoft Store app sometime down the line?
Apps :: Restoring From Redo Backup
Feb 10, 2016Though I use Macrium for backup but few months back I created a Backup of one PC with Redo and saved the backup directly in pen drive but forgot to format the pen drive in NTFS and it remained Fat32. So the Redo created backup in four parts i.e part2, part3, part4 and part 5 ( I do not know why part 1 is not there) total 7GB. My question is whether Redo will be able to restore the backup from these parts or I will have to first joined the parts which I do not know how?
View 2 RepliesApps :: Remove All Modern Metro Apps From User Accounts
Sep 1, 2015I use this PowerShell command to remove all modern metro apps from all user accounts:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
However, it does not remove some apps and I have to remove them manually using:

So, is there a single command to remove all metro apps at once?

Apps :: User-installed Application Icons On Start Menu Went Away
Aug 18, 2015After pinning some user-installed applications to the Start Menu they looked fine. Today, all the icons that should be displayed in the buttons are gone. To determine what a given button does I have to hover over it, and the title appears in text. They still work to institute execution but are surely not the intuitive, user-friendly stuff we are suppose to applaud in W10.
Like my other problems of this nature, restart does nothing to correct the problem. And I cannot remove and reinstall the buttons since a right-click on them does absolutely nothing. All Windows provided buttons still have their icons, but right clicking on them does nothing either. I can drag-and-drop the icons around on the right side but cannot even resize them since a right-click is useless.

View 3 RepliesApps :: Windows Store Doesn't Work With Other User Accounts
Sep 14, 2015I'm running Windows 10 Home RTM 10240. I originally upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium on August 11, 2015 but because my Start Menu and Windows Store stopped working a few days ago, I had to do a in-place reinstall which fixed everything and all the apps including Windows Store and Start menu work on my only account on the system which is a Administrator account. However, when I create a new account, some of the apps don't work and usually, they can be fixed with downloading from Windows Store but unfortunately, Windows Store doesn't open in the newly created accounts, I have already tried the following:
I also found that apps reinstalled using in Administrative Powershell:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}
Will work as a app but the live tiles will not work and grey out even though it will open the app while
reinstalling the apps individually in Administrator Powershell using the package names in C:Program FilesWindowsApps will install the app completely and Live tiles will work, seems like the previous method is only partially installing each app using the Movies & TV App as a example:
Add-AppxPackage -register "C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.ZuneVideo_3.6.12711.0_x64__8we kyb3d8bbweAppxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentModeFiles
It appears that many sites are referencing C:WindowsWinStore as the Windows Store app installation directory except it doesn't exist on my system as Windows Store is actually in
C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.WindowsStore_2015.8.25.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
It seems the above will only fix the apps on my original account but not on the other user accounts on the system.
Apps :: Default Photos App - Fixing For Specific User Accounts
Apr 14, 2016Is there anyway to fix the photos app for a specific user account? On my main admin account it works ok. But there was a series of updates to some of the native apps a few days ago, one of those was the photos app. Since then the photos app will not work on my wife and son's user accounts (both standard accounts). Clicking on it brings up nothing. When I went into the store for their own accounts and searched for photos it actually gave an option to install it. I tried that and it went through the motions downloading/acquiring license but it made no difference. Still doesn't launch the app for them.
I don't particulary want to have to go through the process of deleting their accounts and setting them back up (which is time consuming). Creating a new user account does get the user a working photos app (as I did a test). Is there a simple way to do it without potentially breaking the photos app on other accounts (where it is currently working)?
I am aware of powershell fixes but I have read some horrible stories where the code just makes things worse and breaks a lot more especially in the current build of 10586. I'd want any attempted fix to be purely isolated to the affected user's account.
It does seem that the native apps have some pretty bad problems with updating and breaking down. Sometimes I go into the store and look at the check for updates section and see them seemingly stuck in the update process. Sometimes they need a bump to get them going. There seems to be a riskiness to when they are auto updating on my own user account and how it can translate to the other user accounts. In this latest scenario the photos app has been rendered useless for half the users of my computer. Why MS cannot make their own apps easy to uninstall and re-install is beyond me. All other non MS apps are easy to work with and can be uninstalled and reinstalled with comfort. Plus unlike the MS native apps they seem to have no trouble updating themselves!
Apps :: User Account Control Popup - (YES) Button Grayed Out - Can't Click It
Oct 3, 2015Whenever I try to open most non-Microsoft programs and many Windows 10 features -- like System Restore, for example -- I get the 'User Account Control' pop-up with the "YES" button grayed out, dead, so it can't be clicked. Only the "NO" button in the pop-up is live and clickable so in the end I just can't do anything in the computer anymore.
That happened out of the blue a few days ago and it's the very worst consequence of my making the stupid mistake of linking my Microsoft account to my Windows sign in.Now I also can neither find nor access my Administrator account, or make any changes to accounts for that matter.
Tried System Restore through 'Settings/Recovery/Advanced Startup' and it didn't work. Then I tried Windows 10 'refreshing' (re-installing). That not only didn't solve the UAC popup problem but added a huge new one to the whole mess: I lost all my non-Microsoft programs (Advanced System Care, Lightshot, etc), and now can't install them back anymore.
Yesterday I spent around an hour and a half online with a US-based Tech person from Microsoft's Help Desk. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't find a solution, and in the end I was told the only way out for me was to wipe my hard disk out and reinstall the original OS that came with my laptop -- in that case, it was Windows 7. However, this computer didn't come with a Reinstall disk; it only has a copy of Windows 7 in the 'D' drive so if I wipe everything out I won't have a way to reinstall the original OS.

View 1 RepliesUpdates :: Restoring Digital Entitlement
Feb 10, 2016Bought Windows 10 Pro from an authorized dealer and successfully installed then activated Windows 10 on a standalone PC with the Activation key that came with the CD.
With that same CD I installed Windows 10 on a Laptop I had as well, (an additional machine). Could not activate because the key was already being used on the standalone. Okay fine....went to Windows Store and bought another key...arrrrg. The laptop activation was successful "Windows 10 on this device is activated with a digital entitlement"
So what happens if my Laptop goes south, crashes and burns lets say. I re-install Windows 10 with the CD I have, how is that Digital Entitlement I just bought for the Laptop, going to be applied? Or remembered? Surely I'm not going to have buy another...
Receiving 0x8024402f Error After Restoring
Aug 27, 2015I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 back on 8/6 and when everything was looking good I backed up my HD with Acronis TrueImage 2015. Unfortunately, my wife was doing something on the PC that caused the machine to go into a booting loop and I was forced to restore the HD from my 8/7 backup. It appeared that the restore worked well until I tried to re-apply all of the patches and updates to Windows 10 and Office. Each time I have tried Windows Update it returns a 0x8024402f error that only says that something bad happened during the update.
I've run the Windows Update troubleshooter and it fixed Windows Update components, however this does not resolve the issue. I have also ran the internet connection troubleshooter and the network adapter troubleshooter and neither found an issue. I don't believe that this is an internet problem however as I can receive and send mail from Outlook 2010 and I can successfully upload and download files from cloud storage and other websites. I have scanned my system files using the SFC /SCANNOW command and it found nothing wrong.
I have also performed a DISM command and it didn't find anything either. I have also cleared the files from the SoftwareDistrubtion folder and I've re-registered a bunch of DLL's from a list I found but that hasn't resolved anything either. I have also downloaded and have run the Windows Repair tool from www.tweaking.com and it didn't fix the problem either. Part of the problem here is that this is Windows 10 and most of the past posts have been in regards to Windows 7 and Windows 8.x. My gut is telling me that this is some sort of permissions issue or some registry issue that's causing this issue to exists.
