G50-70 Windows 10 and sign-in options
just clean installed W10 that everything working OK except Windows Hello didn't offer the Camera/Iris sign-in option.anyone else has the same problem? any idea how to get it please. many thanks in advance
hi AlanY,
As a requirement to use Windows Hello, you will need a camera with a specialized illuminated infrared camera like the Intel RealSense 3D Camera. The G50-70 can only come with either an HD (720p) or 0.3M regular camera doesn't have a fingerprint reader.
A regular webcam will not work with Windows Hello which may explain why you're not seing the additional sign-in options (Camera, Iris, or Fingerprint)

Windows 8 Sign-in Options Missing
In windows 8 after restarting the computer for the most recent update the Sign-in Options that allow you to switch between PIN or Password is missing. I am using a PIN code however now it is currently stuck on Password making me unable to log into my account.
How do I make the Sign-In Options appear again ??After searching for a solution on and off for a couple of months, I managed to reactivate the PIN function by myself. Yay! The problem: I don't remember what exactly I did and I cannot reproduce the result so far, but here's what I believe
I did:
1. Hover to a right corner
2. Click "Search"
3. Change the pull down menu from "Everywhere" to "Settings"
4. Type-in "policy". "Reset Security Policies" will show up in the result.
5. Click "Reset Security Policies". This will open "Control Panel" -> "User Accounts and Family Safety" -> "User Accounts"
6. Click "Reset Security Policies" at the bottom of the left pane. A warning window will pop up.
7. Accept the warning.
Now go to "PC settings" -> "Accounts" -> "Sing-in options". Voila! "Add" button under "PIN" should be enabled. I restarted my laptop before enabling PIN, but it might not be necessary. I needed to turn on my antivirus software after resetting.
Now I don't see "Reset Security Policies" in the control panel anymore, but it seems this is what is supposed to happen: I don't have any security policy to reset in the first place. I removed an Exchange account that had caused all this problem from Outlook
and added it back, but it didn't disable PIN function this time. Thus I haven't been able to replicate this method so far. Hope this will help. -
Windows 8 Sign in option is missing
Suddenly i can not see the sign in option in the log on screen, its keep asking me to enter the password, i remember the pin but forgot the password,
never bothered about creating the rescue disk
Not able to log in to the system, kindly help
Regards
Manish PandyaHi Manish,
The sign-in option might be disabled by some reasons.
You may follow the thread provided by S.Sengupta to enable it again.
Regaring enable Windows Recovery environment, if you would like to use Refresh/Reset option, I am afraid you need to enter the password again.
Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
Besides, you may contact the manufacturer side and see if they could offer any further help.

I went to the ICloud Control Panel 2.1 to enable iCloud photos, the area to put a ck mark is grayed out and won't let me enable it.
This is on my HP desktop Windows 7. I have iphone 5 and newset iPad that do fine on iCloud.
Please help me to get my iCloud photos enabled on my desktop.Hello,
You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:
* Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
* [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins
In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:
* https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:

Somehow I can no longer see my bookmarks on the left side of my window. Also some of the icons at the top of my window are gone and I can't move them on the toolbar. Please help fix.
If the "Menu Bar" is hidden then the Menu bar gets replaced by the orange Firefox button.
In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Windows 8.1 Lost Sign in Options
Hi,
So I have a Dell Venue 11 Pro that I am working on. It has a built in fingerprint reader and that has worked fine for a couple of days. However all of a sudden this morning I lost all the sign in options with windows. I can still set them
up under PC settings. The picture password, and even setup finger prints. So it does detect the device and will allow me to use it under the PC settings. However if the user adds any of them to sign on besides just his normal password it
doesn't give him the option to use them at the sign in screen. Since I'm fairly new to Windows 8 myself not sure where to look to check the sign in options under there. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Forgot to add. I have checked updates to see if there was one installed that caused problems. Nothing installed since a week before this started.Hi Paul ,
You have two sign in options and now the fingerprint reader sign in option is lost, right?
We can try these methods to solve this problem:
1.Update the Windows Biometric Interface Driver and the fingerprint reader driver
2.Ensure the Windows Biometric Service runs automatically.
To check this :Run services.msc and look for this service and make it run automatically
3.Check the Biometrics Group Policy.
To check Group Policy
Run gpedit.msc and check this path Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Biometrics
Here are links for reference:

Hi everyone,
OK so I've deployed some new Lenovo tablets with Windows 8.1 Pro.
After doing the latest round of updates, the sign in screen no longer defaults to the 'Local or Domain' account option.
So users have to click on 'Sign In Options', then select the left key icon and then they can login with their domain accounts.
The machines are of course added to our domain.
Now as a public organisation, we won't be asking users to link their MS accounts to any Windows 8 / 8.1 machines. I've had a quick look on the local Group Policy but can't find anything that will allow me to set the Local or Domain Account sign in
option as the default.
So my questions are:
1) How do I set the Windows 8.1 Sign In options to default to the 'Local or Domain Account' option?
2) Can I disable the Microsoft Account sign in option?
Thanks for your help.
FahidHi,
For the first question, we might take a workaround to disable
do not display the last user logon name
in logon screen policy, this makes the last user name displays on the logon screen. If the user logged in domain, then it will stay in the domain accounts.
Regarding Microsoft account sign-in, we could block it using Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts policy(available on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8/8.1):
GPO_name\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
More information, please see:
Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts
Also some workaround:

I am currently using Windows 7 and when I go to try and get Fire fox up a running the Window Live Sig in site comes up. This never happened when I was using Vista.
The Windows Live sign in site will not remember the sign in details.
I use My MSN/Sympatico home page as my default site* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

How to increase brightness in Windows 7 and for the Option sceen?
I have an 15" early 2011 MBP with Snow Leopard and reccently installed 64-bit Windows 7 Pro using an upgrade disk I had. Apparently the backup/upgrade disk would allow me to do a clean install despite not having a previous version of windows to base it off of now that XP is no longer supported.
I had no initial problems installing Windows and getting the bootcamp software fully updated (3.2 I believe,) but while I was in the process of updating all of my windows software things started getting messy. I managed to update some windows functions, but eventually I ran into a real problem after downloading what I believe to be a service pack (not sure which one) that was recommended by the windows updater. After downloading the update, the computer needed to be reset.
Upon resetting the laptop, I found that the option screen that lets you choose which partition to boot into is completely black. I can tell that the display is on because the screen is somewhat brighter than when the laptop is off, but I can't see anything.
For grins, I tried seeing if hitting the right arrow key and then enter would take me to my windows partion, which it did. The loading screen (with the windows icon approaching and illuminating) is completely fine; however, after that loading screen, the screen appears to turn off (nothing, zilch, nada.) I let it sit there for about 5 minutes or so and still had nothing. Upon hard-resetting my computer, I found that when I tried booting windows again it gave me the options to boot into safe mode. Safe mode works and gives full brightness, normal mode does not.
I looked on the forums and saw that deleting C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS could fix the issue. I downloaded Paragon, mounted the bootcamp partition and removed the offending file from my mac partition.
The option screen was still black, but the login screen appeared after the computer tried to finish patching (the service pack patch failed.) The problem then was that the screen was incredibly dim at full brightness. I had control of the brightness settings via fn+f1/f2. All it took was dimming the screen 3 notches in order to make it go completely black. I logged in and tried updating the radeon video card, reset the computer and found myself back at the off screen issue mentioned earlier after the windows loading screen.
I have yet to check, as this process has been extremely tiring and annoying, but I think I can fix the completely dead screen by removing the driver again. I gave this long story to show what I have done so hopefully I cam get a response I
My burning questions are:
What do I need to do to get the screen back to full brightness when I do get my laptop to boot into windows successfully?
How do I fix my option screen to actually show up again instead of blindly picking the partition I want to boot into?
Are there any windows updates that I need to avoid for 64-bit windows 7? I'm guessing whatever service pack it was I downloaded is one of them.I don't use the search engine, so I'm afriad I don't have direct experience here.
What I'd probably do is modify the app so that it looks at the Host data to determine which directory it should point to for graphics, formatting, etc. You could also use the obj.conf with variables to pull graphics from directories appropriately branded. Something like:
1) Create "additional doc directory" for images
2) Find the entry in the obj.conf that points to the new directory
3) Modify the path to something like /path/to/$host/images
4) Make sure you create directories like:
/path/to/foobar.com/images/
/path/to/www.foobar.com/images/
/path/to/baz.com/images/
/path/to/www.baz.com/images/ -

how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.
Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
