How to Remove Windows 10 upgrade and go back to Win 8.1

(ENVY purchased with Windows 8.1 and MS office 2013.)Yesturday I installed Windows 10 upgrade. I immediately had issues. I couldn't open apps. I got an error message about license expired. I went to open Excel and MS office didn't exist. After a full day of trying to fix issues I have come to the resolve of "If its not broken don't fix it" I want to revert back to my Windows 8.1.The MS instructions say to go to Start and Settings. I have no Setting option.I made Recovery disk after I received it . Is there a way to do the microsoft procedure that uses the Windows.old or should I do a complete recovery.

So I'm in the same boat. My HP desktop that came insatlled with WIn 8.1 64-bit and it "upgraded" to WIn10 badly. WIn10 wont activate becasue it says my license code is blocked on the server, none of my installed apps or data came over and the receovey option will now only recover to WIn10, I have no option to go back to Win 8.1, thouhgh a windows.old dir is there on the C: drive. I have my Win 8.1 license code from before the "upgrade" attepmt, but there is no way with what WIn 10 left me with to revert back to Win 8.1. I went to the HP suppprt & downloads page to see if thre was WIn8.1 recovery media available as discussed here : http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143#AbT2 , but nothing shows up for my HP Pavilion 500-210qe CTO. Looks like both MS and HP got me good.

Windows 10 upgrade and roll back limits?

Is there a limit on the number of times you can do the Windows 10 upgrade and roll back to 8.1? I would like to do the upgrade on my Thinkpad Yoga 14 but am concerned about the issues noted on here. I don't want to make too many attempts and lock myself out of the upgrade. I think I did see on here where someone tried 6 times. Thanks,Sue

How can I ditch the upgrades and get back to 3.6.x so the addons will work?

I don't like the skin in versions 4 and 6 and Real Player and other addons won't work. How can I get back to 3.6.x to make Firefox work properly again?

Try Spotlight Search
1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.

I have a problem with itunes opening. I have downloaded the new version and it ask to repair or remove itunes I chose to repair. This has not solved the problem. If I remove the program how do I get my songs and playlist back?

How to remove xcode 4.1 and then install xcode 3.2.6?

how to remove xcode 4.1 and then install xcode 3.2.6?

Just an FYI I had xcode 3.2 installed on my snow leopard system and have today just installed Lion and I just cleaned and rebuilt an App I had developed prior to the Lion install to test to see if it would work. I was told it would but wanted to make sure and it successfully rebuilt and works in the simulator.
My issue is a bit different I need to install 4.1 WITHOUT corrupting my 3.2 installation as I may have to go back to rebuild a 3.2 App as we had a fairly unique setup for our xcode. The problem as I see it currently is I do not know how LION installs things in LION xcode is an App downloaded from the App store but I need to be able to download to something other than the default directories and I am not sure if I have that option in LION when installing an App(xcode) from the App Store

How to remove default Apply, OK and Cancel buttons in portlet edit mode.

Hi,
Iam facing problem in customizing default edit mode of portlet, my question is how to remove those default buttons and how to implement our own links for SAVE and CANCEL functionality. Because if we implement our own <form> in edit JSP page then default form will override our own <form> and default buttons works rather then our own forms.
Please someone help me on this.
Thanks
Abhishek

Ah, this one is easy, if im not mistaken, set this tag in your provider.xml
<renderCustomize>false</renderCustomize>
Defines whether RenderManager should automatically render the portlet's container (border and title) in "Edit" and "EditDefaults" modes before and after processing/invoking the page.
This however means you have to write your own renderer for the customize page. Then you can add your own code for the buttons and the events behind them.
I created my own derived container and added this line to my provider.xml
<containerRenderer class="nl.rsm.eventCalendar.myContainerRenderer"/>
This is however for rendering the showmode of the servlet, dont know if this is the same
render class for the editmode.
Do you realy need custom save functionality, Oracle also has something called DBPreferenceStore, you can store self defined attributes into the database. Perhaps this is sufficiant enough.
anyway good luck, if you find out all the correct steps to take, please share, im also interested

Yes .You can discard the panel close event by passing "TRUE" boolean value to the "discard ?" terminal which is lied in the right side of that panel close(filter) event.& It will work in executables. See attached picture.

Question
how to remove ghostery, google analytics, and yahoo toolbar? thx.

Ghostery and the Yahoo toolbar are extensions.<br />

Google analytics is a service for webmasters which collects statistics about usage of their websites. Not sure how that would affect website users - unless you installed a GA extension. If you got it, it can be uninstalled just like the other two extensions.
