ALT+TAB doesn't work properly in Windows 8.1

Holding ALT+TAB will activate the flip 2D to switch from a window to another. The problem is that this function remains active for a very short time and I'm not able to select the window I want in the foreground. I also noticed that
when I put the cursor on an icon on the taskbar, the live preview thumbnail disappears quickly.
With a safe mode restart the problem is no longer there, all is fine! With a clean install of Windows 8.1(no driver and applications installed) the problem is here again; obviously disappears with a safe mode restart also in this situation. What's the problem?
A Windows process or service?
Details: OS Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit | Laptop Dell
UPDATE: I tried(casually) to deactivate the charging of the battery from the manufacturer software and all works fine! When I active the charging the problem returns. Any suggestions? I can't remove manually the battery from the laptop bacause
it's unibody.

If behavior doesn’t persist in safe mode, it indicates that a third party program or service is preventing-You did the right thing to go through Clean Boot.Have you disabled all
the services and checked or went through one by one method?I shall suggest you to disable each service one after another to find out which specific service is trying to prevent the process.

  • Alt-tab doesn't work properly

    Alt-tab is supposed to display the icons for the applications that are running. If I keep the alt key depressed, the icons are supposed to stay visible. But on my system, they are only visible for a couple of seconds, and then the window for the icon I
    have highlighted opens. How do I ensure that the icons stay visible when the alt key is held down?

    When I use Alt/Tab (press alt/tab and release tab but hold alt) I get different results at different times. For example, this morning I used Alt/Tab and it displayed the list of thumbnails on top of their respective windows. That worked fine several times.
    But a few minuets later it changed and displays the list of thumbnails behind the windows (i.e., you can't see the list).
    I know this can be turned off by disabling Aero Peek but that will disable other useful features too. I am using Windows 7 on a DELL E6440 but this problem exists on all computers I have ever used, including Levento.
    Win/Pause just brings up Control Panel/System. Win-F11 does nothing (in Firefox).
    Note that I did not load or run any programs between the time it was working and the time it quit working. I was only switching between applications.
    This is clearly a Windows 7 bug. I don't see the problem on Windows 8 (but I don't use that much).

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive

    The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
    You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
    If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
    System Restore

    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    System Recovery
    If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
    For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    Contact Customer Support
    If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

  • Z580 - touchpad doesn't work properly on Windows 10

    hello. I did Windows 10 clean install on my Z580 and I noticed there are some minor flaws regarding touchpad, namely: 1. one finger edge scrolling doesn't work. only two finger scrolling is available2. two finger tap doesn't open context menu, even though the option is enabled in Synaptics settings the touchpad is made by Synaptics and I'm using drivers that got installed via Windows Update (version 19.0.9.5)

    It is really strange. Have you installed something that can have negative influence on well working Synaptics driver?
    > What can I do to ensure that the problem is solved for every time?
    Thats good question. Only thing you can do and be sure everything will be OK is to install original recovery image you got with your notebook. At this point everything should work properly.
    I don't know what are you doing later but for me it sounds like some drivers conflict.
    Sorry but on this virtual way it is not possible to be more specific.

  • Premiere CS4 doesn't work properly with Windows 7 trial - Please help!

    Hello!
    I have installed the trial version of Windows 7 on my laptop and now my Premiere CS4 doesn't play the timeline in real time anymore. It worked fine with Windows Vista. I have also installed the newest Premiere update, but it didn't help. Is there a patch for Windows 7 (64bit) or will I have to wait until the full version comes out and try it again then?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rafiki

    It's a laptop and probably an older one, that means it is probably underpowered.
    It's a laptop and that probably means it is a single 5400 rpm disk which is inadequate.
    Bill,
    Probably good observations. I tend to loose sight of the fact that most laptops are not like mine and forget the common limitations. One mentions "laptop," and I see my Sager - duh! on me.
    To the OP, this ARTICLE might also offer some tips on getting your computer ready for an NLE session. Common references are to how things are done in XP-Pro (my OS), but you should be able to "read between the lines," and adapt the general concepts to Win7 and your setup.
    Also, giving full specs. on your laptop might help greatly, otherwise we're all just guessing. Bill brings up a couple of critical points. Your details will either point to them, or dismiss them.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

    For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
    So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
    Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
    Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

    Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
    Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

    It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
    I hope you can find the problem with that information.

  • Zen Vision:m 30gb doesn't work properly with Windows 7 64bit

    I recently upgraded my pc from an old xp machine to a new one running windows 7 ultimate. Creative says their media player software that originally shipped with the zen does not support windows 7, so i should use windows media player (the version that ships with windows 7; i cannot find a help dialog box with the version number). Creative also says that the zen vision:m uses only microsoft MTP drivers, so I don't need to upgrade any drivers and it should be compatible. However, although the zen vision:m connects fine and I can see the mp3 files on the zen HDD, I cannot play them in the main windows media player screen. I can only double click on files and play them in the small windows media player window without any controls. Of course, I can't import any of the zen mp3 files into the music library in windows media player or set up any playlists. I checked every menu item and dialog box that i can think of on my zen and in windows 7, but nothing appears to be relevant to this problem. Any ideas, other than buying a brand new mp3 player? TIA

    When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/xWebAdministration-Module-3c8bb6be. What I found is if the web site doesn't exist the xWebsite resource fails because Get-Website cmdlet even if filtered by -Name seems to ignore the filter and return
    something. To fix this problem I had to customize the xWebsite resource and changed
    Get-Website $Name to Get-Item -Path "IIS:\Sites\$Name" at least in a couple of places (Test-TargetResource and Set-TargetResource).
    I hope this behavior is fixed in a next version of the Get-Website cmdlet or otherwise the workaround is implemented at the xWebsite resource.

    You are posting in the wrong place for this.  You should post in the DSC forum.
    If you have issues with CmdLets or MS software then post you issue in connect.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
    All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
    Mac also is platform and OS.
    Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.

  • HT1923 The sync function on my iPod Touch 3rd generation doesn't work properly.  My OS is up to date, but some of my podcasts won't transfer onto the iPod, and it won't delete ones I've already listened to.

    The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly.  It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

    Hello!
    I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
    Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
    things I have tried and they still not help:
    # drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
    # driver settings, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    # pluging the interface to another usb socket.
    # trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
    # updated bios
    # turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
    # checked IRQ list
    pops still appear.
    my config:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1,5GHz
    896Mb ram
    M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
    Kind regards

    Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
    I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
    Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

  • Hp laserjet P1006 doesn't work properly

    my Hp laserjet P1006 doesn't work properly on my windows 7(64-bit) and whenever I try to print a page the orange light just flashes and then the green light flashes and then it doesn't print at all.I've tryed everyway including reinstalling the software or even turning it off and then turning it on.Pleaseeeee.............help!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello
    I understand you are no longer able to print with the P1006 on Win8.1.
    Did you uninstall the P1006 first?
    If not uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    Both drivers are the same if you look at the version on the website and should still work with the Win8.1.
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • Preview PDF Tab Doesn't Work

    I have two installations of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro / LiveCycle Designer.  The preview tab doesn't work on either installation for LiveCycle Designer.
    My first machine is running XP Pro SP3 32-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it previews, but I can't enter data into the fields when working on a static or dynamic pdf.
    The other machine is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  When I click on the Preview PDF tab it the machine tries to open the preview up in Adobe Reader, but never actually opens.
    What should I check?  Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I don't have the Windows 7 machine in front of me to test this on, but the XP machine behaves the same if I open up Reader or Acrobat before I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle. 

  • Site doesn't work properly

    Hi all, I'm PHP programmer, and i have some questions in my area. I have 3 Apple computers (MacBook Air, MacBook and MacBook Pro). There is one site, made by our group, that doesn't work properly on my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, while other sites work excellent on that 2 computers. And what is more interesting, site, that doesn't work on my MacBook Pro and Air, WORKS on my windows computer, and WORKS on my MacBook. I tried to use this site from different internet provider, but problem was steel actual. I asked 2 of my friends to try this site on their MacBooks Pro - the same (it doesn't work properly, links don't open), but any other computer (under windows, or iPad, or my Macbook) can work with this site excellent. Can anybody help with this? Are there any specifications in program code to MacBook Air work with that site also excellent?

    It's working, after using Cyberduck to FTP.
