Cannot reach Windows 7 start menu when using auto-hide

I have my Windows 7 start menu set to auto-hide. When I am using Spotify in a maximized window, it is not possible to make it appear by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen. Can someone reproduce this?

Hi mqh,
the blog you got this info from assumed that the file "Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.dll" is in the path you are running the Add-Type command. Trying to acquire
this file can be tedious, since the links are dead, I finally used NuGet in my Visual Studio to get it.
If you use this to add the library to your current VS Project (create one if necessary), you can find the .dll in one of the project subfolders.
Cheers,
Fred

Glitch in Windows 10 about Start Menu when it will not show

I just installed windows 10 on a vm and when I first installed windows 10, I clicked the
Start Buttonand the start menu did not show up. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried:
1. Rebooting
2. Double clicking the button

In build 9926, there is no such option as " Use Start Menu instead of Start Screen " anymore.
As to your Start Menu not showing up, MS is aware of the issue.
In fact, Insider Hub has posted Known issues in 9926. One of the known issue is the Start Menu.
Here is the direct copy......
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix
this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type
http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should
make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the
Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the
Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

How to rebuild Windows 7 start menu?

Having had a virus and removed it successfully I am left with an odd problem.
The virus, amongst other things, seems to have altered the start menu removing the "pinned" programs which is not a problem but also removing the contents from the folders in "all programs" for instance under "Microsoft Office" there is a sub folder called "office tools" (empty) but nothing else.
The programs are all still there and work they just aren't available in the start menu. There must be a way of rebuilding this menu without having to reinstall every one of the very many pieces of software on the machine.
Suggestions welcome.

Start Menu common to all users is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
For each user C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start menu.
By default these are hidden folders.
Open using Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.
A search pulled up this [http://softzilla.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-windows-7-context-menu-editor.html] No idea if it is of any use

TS1398 How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

What does this have to do with using an iPad?
But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
Is this what you want to know about?

I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox 4 beta

I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox, but had no problems with the attachments when using safari. I much prefer using firefox and don't want to have to change.
Can anyone help please?

Same here, firefox cannot open any attachment, the page simply refresh itself or perhaps its not refresh but some kind of ajax. But NOTHING happens at all.
Attachment downloads fine if I use IE though.

Windows Classis Theme - Windows Classic Start Menu / Save Files Dialog

MS, please keep a way back to the 9x interface!
Really anoying that the Windows Classis Start menu (Windows 9x etc.) is not available in Win7.
(and apparently no option "Always Show All Programs" option is available and the subprograms are listed in the same window which makes it a long list)
People and commpanies want the option to go to the old-familiair Windows Classic (9x) interface!!!!
We know it, it works and it suits the purpose: why change!
Furthermore in a company environment all files are saved in a directory structure and not in the 'favorites' folders in the user profile. So please...make a simple classic w7 interface like XP (with a simple Save File Dialog) and not a Christmass Three with bells Interface like W7.
[i think that's one of the reson that ofiice 2007/vista doesn't sell as it should. I'm affraid it is a marketing strategy of MS. But unfortunately I think it drives more people in to alternatives like openoffice etc.]

The XP and later interface has always looked like something designed by Fisher-Price to me. Much more annoying, though, is the inability to go the Classic Start Menu. This is sufficient to cause me to stick with XP until it simply can't handle the then-current software. By that time, Linux should be able to run all Windows progams; it is getting closer to that now. Are you listening, MSFT? I'm an MCP with other certs, and, unless you give the option for the Classic Start Menu and a menu that shows all programs (not just a "personalized menu), XP may be my final Windows version.
I really do not understand Microsoft's lack of logic here. They changed the interface in Office 2007 with the ribbon; millions upon millions of users were proficient with the interface prior to that, and MSFT says they have to learn a new one (I agree with Frank1977 here that it's driving people to OpenOffice). That sounds like a New Coke decision to me. Maybe they have an Apple or Linux mole in there, seeking to give bad advice purposely (for any Biblically literate readers, think "Hushai the Archite", and the advice he gave Absalom).
I have defended Microsoft to many Microsoft-bashers at work, but this is becoming more and more difficult to do. And I'm losing my incentive to do so. PLEASE, Microsoft, add power and abilities, as you are doing, but don't arrogantly insist on forcing professional users to learn a new (and less capable) interface.
Well said , Tewald , have considered other options lately as far as "other operating systems go" , you listening Micro soft ?

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%.

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%. Sometimes it will reboot on its own, and other times you have to leave it for an hour or so and then manually turn the phone on again. Any ideas?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?

Best practice when using auto complete in view layer

Hello
I have a question regarding best way to store/cash data when using auto complete function in view layer.
I know that there will be a lot of visitors that will use this function and I dont want to kill the application server so I need some advice.
Its about 6000 words that should be searchable .... my first thought was to create a Singleton-bean that stores current items and that I will iterate over but its a lot of "waste" doing that way.
I would be very glad if anyone could advice me how to do this best way if there is any de-facto standard to use when using auto completion in "view layer"
Thanks!
Best Regards/D_S

I dont know what your design is, but here are some ideas:
To me, autocomplete means you have some user specific data that the user entered prevously such as their home address, and some generic data that is not specific to any particular user. I would store all that in a database. For the user specific data I would store their userID along with the data in the database. Then, when populating a JSP page, I would call up just the data specific to that user and the generic data from the database. I would store it as an array of some type in javascript client--side. When the user clicks the autopopulate button, I would have that button call a javascript fuction that reteives the data from the javascript array and populate the various textfields. All this is done client-side so the form does not have to be re-drawn. I question why you have 6000 items. Normally, autopopulate has at most only a few dozens of items. If you still need 6000 items, I suggest adding a textfield to the form to filter what the data he needs down to a manageable amount. Example: rather than get all names from a telephone book, put a textfield on the form that allowfs an end user to enter a letter a to z such as 'b', then only fetch last names from the phone book that begins with 'b'.

Windows 10 Start menu cannot be resized

The start menu can no longer be resized and it only looks weird when removing/uninstalling all the tiles. This was optional in the earlier developer preview and should remain optional. This may or may not be the wrong channel to submit this feedback but
I accidentally uninstalled the Windows Feedback app and could not revert.
Windows 10 will not be any better until the start menu is back to the same function as < Win8. Why not just do a modern implementation of the start menu without rebuilding its concept?

I don't think this forum will allow anyone posting method(s) of reverting "expandable" Start Menu of build 9926 back to "resizable" Start Menu of build 9879.
Google for it. It's out there.

Group Policy question about setting Start menu items using devices and not users

I am using Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2 servers set up for use as Active Directory Servers.
What I am trying to do is lock down thin clients start menu options and I have been able to get this to work down to the user level. However, what I want to do is have it locked down on the machine level.
We have multiple users that use both "Thin Clients" with Windows 7 Embedded and we also have them using other PC's with using the same log in.
So, for example when you create an OU for "Thin Clients", I want thin client devices in there and when people log in to these thin clients then the start menu will be locked down. I want this to be user independent and thus I don't want Users
in the OU, but I want to lock down the start menu.
How can I do this with Group Policy Objects on a domain level?

Hi,
you could achieve this using GPO loopback processing. It was designed for the purpose of applying settings from user GPO to a certain group of computers.

Windows 10 Start Menu not updating with the newly installed apps or programs

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Preview inside a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V instance. I've been installing a lot of different applications for testing & I've come across a strange problem. When I install a new application, it doesn't show up
in the start menu. If I search for the app, it comes up & I can launch it, pin it etc. Next time I log out & log back in the application is there. I first noticed this when I used Programs & Features to add OneNote into Office
2013.

Aha, that may well be what I experienced too. The first thing I
installed on Win10 was one of my own products, and while it installed
and worked fine, and the start menu items could be found by searching,
my product directory was not showing up under All Apps.
A day later I installed another product, and after that I noticed that
I could see both this new program's directory and my own. A subsequent
product installation also showed its program directory straight away.

Windows 10 start menu not working, app settings gone, startup programs not starting (no tray icons) KB3034229 installed

Hi, even after installing KB3034229 my start menu is gone, search does not work so I don't have any good way to start applications. I am worried because they say update fixes this error, but not for me :-(
Most of my settings are also gone. I cannot revert back (getting error about moved account, but I did not move my account location after installing technical preview)
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Actually, I decided to take a look around in the Event Viewer and saw that there were errors in the "Application" section under windows logs, with the message stating "Activation of app (Insert app name here with a bunch of characters after
it) failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information." And a more specific error to do with ShellExperienceHost.exe http://pastebin.com/c62Fm8xz
. (Cant figure out how to change the font back, so ill stick with this one) All the errors in the Application tab in windows logs that are "Application Errors" all come from the faulting module "Windows.UI.Xaml.dll" After trying to open
the start menu, an Application error (http://pastebin.com/WVktd0Ti) (Suddenly the font fixed itself, okay.) appeared. This is all on build 10041. The logs in "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" all contain something along the lines of this
"Activation of the app Microsoft.Cortana_8wekyb3d8bbwe!CortanaUI for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed.."
Hopefully this contains useful information to help fix this bug.
EDIT:
After looking up the error code from the log in "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2798317/) It seems to be a permissions issue maybe? I'll update this if I find a solution.
