Dark blue background and weird icon placement on jump list (recent files) of apps in task bar

Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal    I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

I hope this helps!
Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion?

  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display screen is coming up with blue background and pink/purple lines all across the screen. It's also blurry and difficult to see icons on home screen and when apps are opened up. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
    Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
    Thanks.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Blue screen and corrupted icons with 10.5.7

    Hello.
    I installed 10.5.7 update, and it seemed to go fine, but yesterday night it froze and got all pixelated while i was watching a movie, and today i doesnt want to log on...
    in verbose mode startup it freezes at some xxxResponder line (never saw that before...)
    and if it DOES manage to continue, I just get a blue screen with some black boxes and the icons are all funky and pixelated ???
    Help!

    Ok... really strange...
    The install disc did not want to boot, gave me loads of failures and errors... and then just gave me a blue screen...
    I needed to do some urgent work, and so I accessed the vista partition...and that worked (?!?)
    ...after switching off the computer, and restarting ... it booted successfully and just gave me an error report to send to apple... ? right.... whatever, as long as it's working again...

  • Photoshop and the Windows 7 Taskbar Jump List

    One great tool for Windows 7 users is the Taskbar. start up Photoshop and the icon will show up in the taskbar. Right-click on that icon and you can pin it to the taskbar for one-click launch. The best thing about this is the list (aka "Jump List") of the 10 most recent files you will see if you right-click on the taskbar icon. You can also edit this list to remove files that you have deleted or simply pin a file to the list. Click on a file anywhere in the list and it will open.  But what if you would like to increase the number of recent files?  You can,and here's how:
    Right-click on a vacant spot in the taskbar.  Click on Properties in the context menu. Then click on the Start Menu tab. Now follow the screenshot:
    You can set that jump list number up to 60 items, but your screen resolution is the limiting factor. I can set it up to 25,much better than 10 and it is for all icons in the taskbar. It's a quick way to open a file without opening Bridge or going to the File > Open Recent files list in PS.
    This tip doesn't make the rounds too often and it's worth a repeat. I can only vouch for Windows 7, let us know if it works in Vista or XP.

    Good plan.  You'll like my Configure the Windows 8 "To Work" Options book too if you go that route.  No, Windows 8 does not offer compelling reasons to move up.  In fact a lot of stuff is just deleted that had value.  Virtually no one can figure out what Microsoft's "strategy" is with this - I've come to conclude they don't really have a concerted strategy, and they're just trying to cover it up with Marketing BS.
    About the only things I've seen going for Windows 8 are:
    It's oriented toward tablets, so there will be some new tablet offerings coming out that will run a flavor of it.
    It's pared down to such an extreme that it runs noticeably leaner and faster on a desktop system.
    There's a cheap upgrade available ($39.99 if you have any older version of Windows).
    Obvious negatives:
    Completely revamped Start screen with the desktop being put off to the side.  Desktop apps considered "legacy" now.
    No start button, but non-obvious "hot corners" you have to just know about.
    Little attempt to make it possible to use just the mouse and click on stuff, as has been the tradition.
    No visual styles on the desktop at all, making it look plain and flat, and making it difficult to use multiple applications at once.
    Microsoft wanting you to walk through their online App Store at every turn.
    There's a web page describing all the useful stuff they've removed...  It's no wonder the upgrade is going to be cheap:

  • Apps Wont Delete And Weird Icon

    -Hi
    I was downloading an app. In the process of downloading my internet got cut off. After I got my internet back, the app that i was downloading is stuck. I tried to delete the app but the icon is still there. It is a grey gridded square with an X through the middle and a series of concentric circles superimposed over that. Btw, it is not on waiting. It's just say the name of the app. Help! 

    OMG,Thank You So Much.. That fixed it! You Are My Saviour!!!

  • Compiz and weird window placement

    I just installed Arch and KDE.  It all works fine except for compiz, which works, but any window opened goes to the top left hand corner and the title bar is hidden so I can't even move it.

    Start the CompizConfigSettingsManager (ccsm) and check if the window decorator plugin is enabled if you have no window boarders.
    There is another plugin for windows placement (don't know how its called because my settings manager is in german).
    Maybe you have to active a lot of other plugins before compiz works how you like it.

  • Mac mini will not complete shutdown-closes desktop, goes to blue screen, and spinning icon just spins forever, so  must power off to reboot.

    Recently, My Mac-mini will not complete the "shutdown" or "restart" routine; it closes the desktop screen, goes to the light blue screen, but then the spinning indicator (not the "wheel of death") just keeps spinning forever with no shutdown (I've let it spin for >2 hrs.).  Have run disk/permissions verifications and repairs from applejack, disk utility, Mactuneup.app & all report ok.  Any suggestions, please?

  • While using firefox it is frezing and utilizing 120124 k of memory which is the highest in my task bar?

    Firefox version 3.6.16
    Windows XP SP3 OS.
    Intel Pentium 2.20 GHZ (@CPUs)
    1 GB RAM.

    I have the same problem in Windows 8 with newest, fresh and clear installed Firefox build. It's also for pages like facebook and so on, many pages you visited before. It's a problem with the cache. If you delete them, all is working fine for a short while.
    The problem is thats this will happen nearly every day again, so its realy annoying.
    In my constellations, its an Samsung Ultrabook with SSD drive and Windows Standby is used so, could it be that the cache ore firefox could get damaged while using powersaving mode if you simple open/close the Ultrabook?
    I used Firefox/Windows 8 on my desktop without any problems but i will build in my new ssd tomorrow, so we will see if i get also problems like that by using energysaving modes (its only a speculation, it could also be another Bug in Firefox).

  • Open apps in task bar shows old images of we pages and even photos

    I have been frustrated to discover after I close out a website or close and even delete a photo after I switch apps and come back to it maybe even a day or week later sometimes safari and photos will display old data on pages that aren't really open but were at one point in history, hence giving an ipad user almost no privacy.

    They are not open apps, they are displaying what was on the screen when you closed it. A demonstration. Turn your camera on, now double click. The camera is still on. That's an open app. Now turn your camera on, and press the home button. Now double click, you'll see a still of what was on the camera when you turned it off. Ergo if it was there when you closed it, it will be there when you open it.
