Reset mypc feature in Windows 8.1

Hi Team,
I am working on reset feature in windows 8.1.I am able to successfully enable the feature and create a partition and able to reset.I followed below steps in order to work.
Shrink the “c” driver with 4 GB space(Since I have only one partition.)
Created a new simple volume with no drive letter assigned to it.
Format the drive.
Assigned the drive letter and created a folder called “RecoveryImage” and copied install.wim file to it.
Remove the drive letter.
Enabled the Windows RE
Set the image using following command
• Set the Recovery image location by below command:
reagentc /setosimage /path
\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\RecoveryImage\ /index 1
But after resetting pc Recovery partition revealed (I am able to see recovery partition in my computer with drive assigned to it).
Can you please help me to create hidden recovery partition and resolving issue with Recovery partition revealed.
Please don't suggest any tool.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Suresh.M.M.

Hi Suresh,
To hide a partition, we can easily to implement by removing the letter via Diskpart command:
1.Type “diskpart” in run command box without quotes. (A command window will get opened)
2.Then type “list volume“. (Your hard disk partitioned volumes will be listed)
3.Now type “select volume <volume number>” – (Volume number is the numeric variable which is shown in the volume listing)
4.Type “remove letter <volume letter> – (Volume letter is the alphabetic character of the drive such as C,D,E,F…Z)
Hope this could be helpful.

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.
Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.

Windows 8 Add Features to Windows 8 Pro

Hi,
I have Windows 8 64-bit that was preinstalled on my laptop, now I want to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, I already have the license from my dreamspark account. My questions are, upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro, from the "add features",
is there any danger of data loss (personal files) on the same partition as the Windows and from different partitions? What about the installed programs, such as Visual Studio, VirtualBox, Office, etc.?
I beleive the answer to my question is, no, there isn't any kind of data loss. But I still would like confirmation from an advanced user who has already followed these steps.
Another question is, what if my Windows 8 installed language is Portuguese, and I want to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro English?
Thanks everyone for their answers in advance!

Hi,
Yes, the installed programs would be still available to use.
Here is some reference: Add features to Windows 8.1 (Available in WIndows 8)
You cannot upgrade or keep your Windows settings, personal files, or applications if you are performing a cross-language installation. You can only keep your personal files during a cross-language installation by using Windows 8 Setup.
For more information for the upgrade paths, please see:
Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Upgrade Paths
Hope this may help

Possible reset safari and downloads window bug

I have noticed, at different times on different macs...
Reset safari, open the downloads window and the items in there do not clear out. In fact, it takes two reset Safari's to clear them out. Now, I have them set to download to desktop and not the downloads folder. I can reproduce 1 out of 3 times.
Safari 3.1.2 and Safari 3.2
Message was edited by: powerbook1701

I have checked on multiple computers and even the Apple Retail store, the issue continues to happen, but there is no rhyme or reason what the trigger is:
I have noticed with Safari 3.2 and 3.2.1 that when resetting Safari, the downloads window does not always clear out. Upon an additional reset, the window does clear out.
If the downloads window was open, then you close it, reset safari, and then reopen the downloads window, whatever was there is still there (until you reset again).

IPhone 4S - iOS 5 - Something is wrong, phone is autocorrecting every single word... Can i reset the feature?? HELP!

iPhone 4S - Is anyone else experiencing strange behavior by the autocorrect? it's trying to autocorrect every single word... for instance "is" corrected to "OS". ***? it's happening on every single word!! Can i reset the feature?? HELP!
I have been an iPhone user since the first iPhone. In fact, i was first in line in 2007 at the Boston Apple Store at Chestnut Hill Mall.
I've never experienced such strange behavior by the autocorrect feature. Granted there is the occasional annoying autocorrect, but this is out of control. I can't even make it through a sentence without getting frustrated and wanting to throw the brand new iPhone 4S accross the room!
Someone please help!!!

OOPS!! This is a case of user error..
I turned on a couple keyboards looking for the Emoji keyboard last night... So my assumption is that the "keyboards > language selection" is linked to the dictionaries the system uses for autocorrect? Well, whatever the case, I turned everything off except English and Emoji and that seemed to correct the problem.
If anyone else is having a blond moment, like me, consider user error first. LOL
Have a good day!

How to handle power managment features of Windows Vista

Hi guys
I searched a little bit in the Toshiba Technical Knowledge Base and found very interesting article about the power management features of Windows Vista.
*[How to handle power management features of Windows Vista|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]*
The point is that you will not find a same Toshiba Power Saver tool on Vista like on the Windows XP notebooks and the power saver settings are a little bit hidden in the Vista Power Saver settings.
But you can also control the certain options like Cooling Method or Power Saving Mode.
I think this document could be interesting for some here in the forum!
Greetings to all!

Hi Jayjay
Thanks for posting this here in the forum.
Several days ago I searched for such further power option in Vista.
This document was really, really helpful for me.
Thanks again

The number of client access licenses may be reset to five in Windows Small Business Server 2003

Ran into an issue on the server after the power loss.
My Client Access Licenses were reset to 5 with Maximum usage of 12. I have about 25 PC's and Server also hosts exchange, which now prevents users from accessing OWA and local profiles. After digging around and reading logs, I eliminated issue to the licensing.
All the steps described in the Article ID: 888818 do not work, since the licenses were never backed up in the first place. Resetting, did not help either, since it's looking for a file, we don't have.
Additionally, the auto-populated solutions, were already tried with no success.
Please let me know if there is a way to restore licensing via original license key, provided on the machine, or I have to purchase it.
Thank you for your time.

Photoshop CC not listed in "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1

Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Bridge CC and Adobe Extension Manager CC are not listed in Control Panel section "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1. Only Adobe Creative Cloud Manager is listed. I have to install Photoshop CC because the current update failed with error code U44M1P7. The advice of Support is to remove Photoshop and reinstall it because I have no other options to solve this update error. Revo Uninstaller Pro and Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 also do not show Adobe CC programs in their list of programs. What can I do to solve this problem?

Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
Rosgats is Photoshop, Bridge, and Extension Manager not available to be reinstalled through the Creative Cloud Desktop application? If not then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

How can I reset the feature find my iPhone after using it?

I used find my iphone to change the password of my iPad and now that I found it when I try to use it again, it only request the contact phone, how can I reset this feature in case I really lost it? Thanks

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If you haven't got notifications muted then try inserting and removing the headphones again

Unexpected permission "feature" in Windows 7

I stumbled upon an unexpected permissions "feature" of Windows 7. I was testing some ActiveX code used to write an Excel spreadsheet, and got a crash when I tried to close my file. The same code worked just fine on my Windows XP machine, and it didn't matter if I used LabVIEW 8.6 or LabVIEW 2009.
Both machines were set up in the "standard" manner, and I was running as the sole user in an account with Administrator privileges. My test file was C:\Test.xls. When I invoked the ActiveX Close, I got an unknown error (-2146877284, which LabVIEW said was "unknown", but occurred in Excel).
When I examined the permissions for C:, I discovered that (for both XP and 7) the group "Users" has Read, but not Write, permissions, while "Administrators" have both Read and Write. XP seems to allow the write, so works without errors. Windows 7 may "want" to pop up the UAC window (which it definitely does not do), but I'm guessing that it is both ignoring my Administrator credentials and generating an "unknown" error call.
To test this theory, I wrote another routine to try to write a text file using standard LabVIEW VIs. When I do a File Open with the Create option for a file on the root of the C: drive, I get Error 8 (File Permission error), which at least makes sense (after the fact).
I've brought this to the attention of the NI Support Team (who helped me figure this out). If this is, indeed, the UAC getting into the fray, it would be "nice" if LabVIEW could notify us ...

In retrospect, I agree this is "expected behavior in Windows 7". It
was completely unexpected by me, in part because it arose in a curious
context. I originally developed my code on Windows XP, and made use of
the ability to right-click an ActiveX property node and get "Help for
Close" (for example). In addition, the code I developed worked fine in
the early version where I did not try to write the results to a
file. When I moved it to Windows 7, the right-click help was missing,
and seemed to be OS-specific. As it happened, I was trying to add the
"Close" ability to save the file, and to simplify the path, I used
C:\Test.xls (much easier to type than C:\Users\Robert Schor\My
Documents\Test.xls), and had to go back to my XP machine to find out
descriptions for the arguments of the Close command. So when the
program failed with an error message that was "off the wall" (referring
to an error code of -214682784, as well as a file name of C:\2CE93000),
I made the (logical?) assumption that this was "another Windows
7/LabVIEW incompatibility" bug/feature. This was, of course, bolstered
by the observations that things worked under Windows XP and both
"failures" occurred in Windows 7.
It would be "nice" to
fix the problem with Help to work with Windows 7. It would also be
"nice" to arrange to trap UAC-produced "errors" and have LabVIEW return
an error code such as 8 (even nicer would be to add an error code that
says "Windows UAC prevented access to this file").

Unistall hp office from programs and features in windows 7

Can anyone tell me what to do to get a HP Officejet 6500 E709n software to uninstall? Nothing happens when I use the uninstall from programs and features in Windows 7 Control panel or from the HP start menu group.
I have spent most of the day trying to fix printer instalation.
I have done everything possible using different unistall programs.

Hello @Coffee_18 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're having issues uninstalling. I'd like to help with that!
I would recommend using the HP uninstall program to remove the software:
Uninstalling the Printer Software
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest running the Microsoft Fix It tool:

How to correct installer resetting minimum restriction to windows XP SP3 or later

I am using Labview 2009 and building executables and installers that go onto systems that use windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 and below.
Whenever I build my installer package, I get a warning:
*** WARNING ***
Cannot enforce the requested minimum operating system restriction because the deployment engine only supports Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later. Resetting minimum restriction to Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later.
I did not previously have this issue, until I recently got a new computer (windows XP => Windows 7) and had to reinstall all of my Labiew and NI systems. Ever since this, I have not been able to run my installers and executables on anything below windows XP SP3.
How can I fix this?
Solved!

I remember something about things built on Windows 7 can't work with anything before XP SP3. So I would say it is coming from the fact that you are now using Window 7.
I know it is easier said than done, but you do need to update your test systems. Computers are something that are (usually) very simple to update every 2-4 years.
In all fairness, sometimes it's the customer who applies the OS upgrade restriction. For instance, there may be some contracts that requre a recertification of a test station (and all of the software that is run on it) if anything is upgraded and they aren't willing to pay for it.
Of course, what happens then is that a piece of hardware finally breaks, that hardware has been obsolete for 20 years and any substitute hardware only has drivers for the last two operating system revisions, so you have to upgrade ANYway, but it's going to cost more money than if you did it in a controlled fashion because now you have a tester down and you are using it for your development instead of building a dev station to work all the bugs out.

Is there a "restore" feature, like windows has? I installed "CleanGenius" and it has totally screwed up my computer! I just want to go back home!! Thanks

I recently downloaded a trial version of CleanGenius from MacPromo..looked promising, but after I ran it, most of my oft visited sites are totally garbled or missing. Facebook, eBay, a local newpaper, etc all screwed up..unreadable. Is there a "restore" feature (like Windows system restore) that I can use so that all this will just seem like a bad dream? Hope so..thanks for your time. Dave

I then saw the above response from WZZZ whose advise to visit a web site that was so general as to be unhelpful.
First, you were posting in an older thread titled "Is there a restore feature....?" Next, you had no idea what files your crapware program removed. The idea was to return your computer to the state it was in before you did the so called "cleaning." If you had bothered to look around that extremely detailed site, which you in ignorance describe as "being so general as to be unhelpful," you would easily have found 14. How do I restore my entire system?
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
And simply moving that program to the Trash wouldn't have restored the files it removed. And, it is also possible that parts of that program are still on your computer because it may have installed important or unimportant files elsewhere than in /Applications.
And Debbie and friends at Apple know nothing about Time Machine. It will restore your computer to the state it was in, minus any subsequently installed applications.
Besides, removing your crapware program wasn't your question. It was how do I restore my system to where it was before I allowed that program to run.
The notifications issue had nothing to do with your original question. It happened because of the way you initially set up your account here.
So, thanks for your gratitude.
