Windows 8.1 Enterprise Color Settings

When I navigate to the settings charm - change PC settings, the first thing that opens is PC Settings. In all the versions of 8.1 Enterprise I have seen, the personalize link is present but the start screen colors and backgrounds links are simply not
present. I get to select the colors when I load the operating system and then they can never be adjusted. In all the Windows 8.1 references I have consulted, I see the ability to change the screen colors and backgrounds in the PC settings area. The links
to those choices from the PC Settings are just not there in this version of Windows? The machines are all activated properly with a volume license.

Hi Roger,
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I am looking for the controls to change the start screen default purple and default background. The location you specified opens the control panel for Windows Themes and is not what I seek. The other way to
get to what I seek is right edge - settings - change PC settings. In the window that opens, there used to be other links at the top one of which went to the start screen. That link is now just gone and the label for the screen is simply
personalize. Now, I have no way to change the default purple except when I first install Windows. Then, shortly after logging in with a Microsoft account, the colors change to an apparently previously saved set of account parameters. In any even event, I can
find no way to change the start screen colors anywhere besides at install. So, all my PC's that logon with the same Microsoft account eventually end up with the same start screen colors with no way to adjust them.

ENTERPRISE COLOR SETTINGS

My customer wants the M680F TO DEFAULT to MONOCHROME (black n white). However, users can OVERRIDE to choose color if they wish.
I need tips on the best way to SET THE COLOR SECURITY witht eh WEB interface and/or at teh DRIVER LEVEL
COLOR OVERRIDE MUST WORK AT TWO POSTIONS:
1) Sending a PRINT JOB from a Desktop: The user should be able to "override" the default printer settings and force color. Without leaving their workstation
2) Local color copying (PHYSICALLY standing at the printer). the user should be able to OVERRIDE the default MONOCHROME and Copy in colur if desired .
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Color Settings: Getting colors in PS CC to match colors of the image when used as a Windows Background

or vice versa. I probably do not know enough to be able to ask the question properly.
The colors of photos in PS CC are not the same when used as a desktop background in Windows 7. The colors are somewhat more saturated when as a background on the desktop and while not totally unusable, it would be nice to have matching color between my PS editing screen and the photo as viewed as a desktop background.
The following are some conditions that may or may not be relevant to the answer of my following question.
1.) I am a complete novice to Color Management so a presumption of knowledge and the heavy use of jargon may not penetrate my head.
2.) I shoot with sRGB embedded in my photos.
3.) My RAW conversions use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.
4.) My PS Color Settings are North American General Purpose 2 with sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 as the working space and Intent as Relative Colormetric
5.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Device, my Device = NEC LCD2690wuxi, ICC Profile = NEC LCD2690wuxi (default), file name = nl269wui.icm
6.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Advanced, Device profile = System Default sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and (everything else set to System Defaults too). The only difference from the PS Color Settings being that Windows is defaulted to Perceptual Intent, but a change in either PS or Win 7 has no effect on the relative color differences.
7.) The monitor is set to the Native internal preset, but the relative differences in color remain the same even if the monitor is changed to sRGB, or any other internal preset.
8.) I have Proof Setup set to Monitor RGB but none of the settings will match the Win 7 Background color.
Now, my question is this. How would you set up your color settings/profile in PS and/or Windows to match color between PS and the Windows desktop of Windows 7?

Nevermind. I didn't have Proof Colors checked.

Color register mark at top of Color Settings window grayed out?

The color register mark at the top of the Color Settings dialog window sometimes is a gray circle with an exclamation point, instead of the colored register mark showing the pie outbreak when color settings are not in sync. What would make it gray and prompt you to look at color settings?

Hi John. Thanks for the post. Actually though, when the color settings are out of sync the top right segment of the register mark "pie" juts out and the "unsyncronized" info comes up. What I'm referring to is that, at random times, there is no color register mark at the top left of the color settings dialog window and in its place is just a gray circle (almost like a talk balloon in the comics) and there is a black exclamation point in it. Usually, on by system everythng displays correctly with the color register mark that is intact when color settings are in sync and disjointed if they are out of sync, but I don't know what causes this other thing.
Thanks.

Color Settings change with resizing Photoshop window

I have been seeing a weird phenomenom with Photoshop lately and I hope someone can help me figure this out. I have been editing photos in Lightroom. I occasionally take a photo into Photoshop for more editing and when I do this, if I make any change to the program window side, the color changes to a darker, more muted looking photo. If I minimize the program, nothing changes. If I either change the window size to a smaller, non-maximized window or drag it to my secondary display, the color changes to what I am guessing is a different color space. The only way to fix this is to shut down Photoshop and restart it. I am sure this is some setting in Photoshop color settings, but not sure. Should I have my color settings set to my monitor calibration file or should it be Adobe RGB? Not sure what Lightroom edits in. I do have it set up to send the file to Photoshop in Adobe RGB.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Toby

File procol hyperlink bug in the IE browser of Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation

Hyper links with standard file protocol don't work with the IE browser of Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation
The same hyperlinks work under the same Windows 8.1. Enterprise Evaluation:
1. Google Chrome
2. Opera
3. Fire fox
4. Safari
The same hyperlinks work under the Windows 7.1
Example:

Hi，
Make sure the URLs are in correct format, just like examples listed in this link, some "bad" URLs can still work in other browsers, but not in IE.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx
Or check you IE security settings, lower the security setting level in Internet Options\Security, or add the address to a trusted site, if you have turned on IE protected mode, then turn off it as a test
Add: What happens if you directly drag the file from File Explorer to the IE address bar?

Dual monitor color settings seems to be messed up cs4

Hi
My daughter has this setup
AMD 9550 quad 2.2mhz machine, Windows 7 ultimate. latest updates
ATI Radeon HD 5700 gpu card (latest driver)
Two LCD monitors
          1. LG 2361V HDMI (main)
          2. Cintiq 21UX (Extended)
Both monitors are calibrated, and have the latest driver updates. It does not matter which monitor is the main one.
PS cs4 also has the
1. If i load a photo in fireworks and drag the application back and forth accross the two monitors, the image looks virtually identical.
2. If i load the same photo in PS (cs4 11.0.1) and do the same, the image looks perfect in the LG but immediately darkens when on the Cintiq.
          a. The darkening is not instantanious. It looks good for about one second before it changes.
          b. If I hover the image between the two monitors, then the darkening only is applied to half of the image.
3. If i change the preferences to not "color match" (in the performance->open GL) then the image does not darken and it remains loyal to the color profile in place. But!!!! the navigator and color selection tools remain darkened while on the Cintiq. So if she chooses a color from the tool, it paints a different color on the canvas.
          a. If I modify the color settings, then the modification affects both monitors display and the difference issue does not go away.
Ideally we want to be able to select a color from the palette and have that color be what is painted onto the canvas. We also want the image to appear as similar as they do in fireworks.
While Color Matching is checked:
On the cheaper monitor, the image and the navigation pane always has the same color appearance. when i change the color profile, the change is reflected in both the canvas and the navigation pane.
The same is true on the Centiq, but the image and navigation pane is always darker than on the other monitor.
While Color Matching is UNchecked:
The color selection tool and the navigation panel are affected but the canvas is not. But the two monitors canvases match.
So. in order for the navigation and color selction tool to match the canvas, the color matching needs to be checked.
But this creates the darkening on the cintiq. No matter what profile i choose, the cintiq is too dark. and photoshop is doing it because fireworks does not do this.
How can i set it up so that all the colors are true to the profile, and match the nav and color tools?
Thank you
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Jerry C

Thanks
@Noel
It sounds as if the monitors are using two quite different profiles, which may indicate the calibration is off a good bit on one of them and the profile was generated to compensate. The clue here is that you see a change when you move a document from one to the other, and that temporarily (while an image crosses both monitors) you see quite a difference in it.
If you drag an image in a non-color-managed application across both monitors, so that specifically part of it is shown on one and part on the other, how different do they look?
Using fireworks or MSpaint or IExplore, an image looks pretty much exactly the same on either monitor as well as when spanning accross both.
The two monitors are clibrated so that all colors match on both monitors.
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
The Cintiq has a better contrast ratio so the whites are slightly brighter.
But!!! If the moitors were not calibrated, then a fireworks image would look different on each screen. In fact they look exactly the same on both.
Even when the image spans accross the two screens.
It is only Photoshop that darkens the part of the image that hangs onto the Cintiq. And it is very dark.
Even in the famed "Monitor mode", the image is much darker than is is in IIE or MSPaint or Fireworks.
I dont want to disable the color profiling, as it is important to see what the target will look like.
But i do want to see what the target will look like! right now it is way to dark. No matter what profile i choose.
Also my examples are more to demonstrate the comparrison between the two monitors, but the goal is to get PS CS4 to work on the centiq. It would be nice to have the navigator and some panels on the other monitor and have the colors match, but more important is to have the colors on the cintiq look normal at all!
Thanks so far. but we are still messed up.

No Apps or Windows Store work after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Enterprise

Hello,
Upgraded from Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Now none of my apps work, cannot even go into the Windows store to repair them. All of the apps give me an error message of "This App Can't Open" while the PC Settings and Windows
Store apps just open to a blank screen. All Metro apps have a "X" mark on them. What I have already done:
1. I already downloaded the app troubleshooter which didn't help.
2. No use "contacting the app's publishers" since these are all native Windows apps.
3. Tried refreshing, no help.
4. System restore, no help.
5. I don't have a proxy on.
6. I've updated my graphics card to the most recent version.
This may sound naive but is there a way to "reinstall" the Windows store? Can I download it from somewhere? Please don't tell me to "reinstall or reset" Windows 8.1, that really isn't addressing the problem at all it is simply
throwing the entire thing away and starting over. There has got to be a way to "fix" these sorts of things aside from a clean reinstall, otherwise they shouldn't allow "upgrading" in the first place.

Hello,
The cause why appstore does not start is permissions and missing repository registry keys.
I fixed the problem by doing the following: importing and exporting registry keys / change permissions and reboot the machine.
login with a local account (must be member of administartor group) not a domain account to your machine. If you do not have, ask a colleague not having the problem with the appstore.
Ask hem to export the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel" key.
You need to import this key into the registry using your account.
Follow this steps:
Check first the following location to see iof the repository is not empty
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository
1. Open registry editor typing regedit.exe from a command line.
   2. Browse to the registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel\repository\packages.
if the repository is not there, login locally with a different account and export the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel
- login backup to the account having appstore problem.
dubbel exported regkey, click yes and confirm overwriting the registry.
   3. Right click on the “packages” key and bring up the “Permissions” tab.
   4. Click the “Advanced” button located at the bottom right corner.
   5. Check to see the account name that shows up as the “Owner” (this is the first line of text on the “advanced security settings” dialog for the “packages” key). (this shows the built-in local Administrators group), it must be “SYSTEM”.
   6. If it is any other account, click on the “Change” button next to it.
   7. Type SYSTEM in the “select user” dialog. If “Multiple Names Found” window comes up, select the row for “SYSTEM”.
   8. Click OK to the dialogs and close them all.
   9. Run from admin command prompt:
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
10. Reboot your machine.
11. Start appstore, if you get the error, you have no internet connection.
12. Close appstore wait a view seconds and start it again.
This fixed the problem for me.

How to inforce specific color settings in InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to set specific color settings when creating a pdf from InDesign in Java script (not as a preset). What I found in previous discutions is:
#target InDesign
app.ColorSettings.cmsSettings="MyColorSettings";
( in the Forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1108248#1108248),
which just somewhat make sence to me.
I saved my MyColorSettings.csf file in color settings folder, but I am not sure how to tell the script to access it, and I am not sure that that's the only
reason why the lines abouve don't work.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

Yulia, everything wrong in your script: first of all, setting cmsSettings and cmsSettingsPath at the same time makes no sense — this is the same as choosing a setting in Color Settings dialog and then clicking the Load button and selecting another setting — the second cancels the first. So, you need to set only cmsSettingsPath property. If you take a look at this property in OMV, you'll see that it requires File not String, as you are trying to set.
I would use the following code:
var myPath = "/Volumes/SPACE/Prepress/Export settings/InDesign CS4/ShowPDFoptions_CS4.jsx";
var myFile = new File (myPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
else {
alert("File \""+ myPath + "\" can't be found.");
You don't mention if you use Mac OS or Windows, or both at your work.
On Mac volume name should be prepended with "/Volumes":
/Volumes/Remote/dir/file
On Windows, to access a remote volume, use a uniform naming convention path name of the form
//servername/sharename.
Or, if you have a mapped network drive:
/Z/foldername/foldername/filename
Where Z is a letter corresponding to your drive.
To find out the path to a file, you can also use the following script:
myFilePath = File.openDialog("Locate the file");
$.writeln(decodeURI (myFilePath));
It writes the path of the chosen file to console

Windows 8.1 Enterprise and unattended answer file and missing apps

Hi,
Have just created a new WIN8.1 x64 enterprise image on a vm and captured it using the capture media.
I have imported it into SCCM 2012 R2 and have created a new deployment task and have sent it out to a test computer.
Once the computer has reimaged, and the task completes, a user logs on and no apps appear at all. not even the default apps like bing, news, weather etc. Just IE, Desktop etc.
In my task sequence, nothing really special happens, other than install image, apply drivers and join domain. I have also made a unattended file to skip through OOBE stuff that happens and to
make sure locale is EN-AU. This is set at Apply Operating System.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
I all I want is the default windows 8.1 apps to appear for each user who logs on. There is no need to do a copyprofile as i have not made any modifications to the user account
during image build.
I did not update the apps before taking the image.

Hi boadiceaa,
Is the machine in a domain environment ?How did you configure the screensaver ?
Usually we can configure it here .
Right click the blank desktop ,choose personalize ,screensaver.
There is a registry key we can configure the timeout of the screensaver .
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeout
If it is a domain environment ,please check whether the screensaver group policy has been configured.
We can run "rsop " to have a check .
We also can try to configure it from the group policy
Screen Saver timeout
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961876.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If the issue persists, we can try to login with another account and configure it to have a check .This will help us to narrow down whether this issue is caused by the specific account .
Best regards
im not exactly sure what you mean by domain but its for my home network, just simple SOHO. ive tried using another user account to change it but it doesnt matter what it only goes to 15 mins max time.
youd suggest i look into the registry for starters or?
thanks again for the reply

Installing Windows 8.1 Enterprise on a Windows 8.1 OEM Laptop

Hello,
I have a new ASUS laptop running an OEM version of basic Windows 8.1. I've installed many applications and put much time personalizing the GUI. I wish to upgrade it to Windows 8.1 Enterprise (I have an enterprise key from MVLS volume license).

I'm having a hard time understanding the best way I should have my color settings, set. Can I get someone's help with this?

I am scanning old photographs with an Epson V750 Pro and have a question on how my Photoshop should be set, or how the scanner should be set.
I have Photoshop 7.0 and it works fine, but I have started scanning some old photographs with my new Epson V750 Pro scanner and every time I go to open a scanned photograph, I receive a message reading:
My Photoshop's color setting are "custom" set: I never changed anything, but this is how I've always ued it and have never had any problem before. Is there a better way it should be set?
Right now these are the Color Settings:
Should any of these settings be different? If something in Photoshop should be changed, what should I do? I don't want to be asked this every time I open a scanned image.
Or, should any of the settings in the Epson Scanner when scanning?
Right now:
The other color settings available are 48-bit Color and Color Smoothing, but sometimes when I use the 48-bit Color, Photoshop will give me an error when I go to save the edited scan, telling me there isn't enough space to save it. I have no idea why this happens because there is plenty of space, but I end up having to change the scan to 300dpi to save it.
Well, I don't know if any of this makes since, but I would love to receive any help. I would like to understand why I am having this problem and how the color settings should be, so I don't have this trouble anymore.
Thanks,
Sean

In Epson Scan, click Configuation at the bottom of the main window, and try these settings.
If it doesn't work, I think it'll be ok converting to sRGB in Photoshop,
Edit: You can set PS to convert to sRGB automatically under Color Settings > Color Management Policies > RGB.
But if you can control it from Epson Scan, that's probably preferrable.

Offline Files sync gives Access Denied on Windows 8.1 Enterprise

A small number of our staff have now been issued with Windows 8.1 Enterprise hybrid tablet computers, however there is a problem with using Offline Files on them - when synchronising, it responds "Access Denied".
The tablets have Windows 8.1 Enterprise with all the latest updates on them. Staff users have a home folder on the network under \\server\staff\homes\departmentname\username which gets mapped to U: and their My Documents is redirected there. The server is currently
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
We have tried:
Resetting the Offline Files cache using the FormatDatabase registry key
Using Group Policy Objects to force Offline Files synchronisation at logon and logoff
Clearing the local cached copy of the user's profile from the machine and getting them to log back on to recreate it
Setting up Offline Files event logging to the event viewer - this provides no useful information as it only logs disconnect/reconnect and logoff/logon events
Forcing Group Policy update using gpupdate /force
Forcing synchronisation using PowerShell and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb309189%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
As suggested by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275461 we gave the All Staff security group Read permissions on F:\Staff (which is the one that is shared as \\server\staff) and then blocked inheritance for folders below that
We also checked the following:
The CSC cache has not been relocated
No error 7023 or event 7023 errors relating to Offline Files are present in the event logs
The Offline Files service is running
The OS is already Windows 8.1 Enterprise, so installing the Pro Pack is not applicable
In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserState\UserStateTechnologies\ConfigurationControls all the values are set to 0 and not 1
We do not use System Center Configuration Manager
No errors were found in the Folder Redirection event logs
None of these solved the problem, does anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the error we are seeing:

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem is most probably occurs at File Server Client.
Firstly, please check the sharing file Sync Settings.
Shared file properties\Sharing\Advanced Sharing\Caching
Also check shared file user list, make sure these problematic user account have full permission.
On the other hand, could you able to access to the shared file directly in Windows Explorer?

Getting Group Policies to work on Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Windows 2012R2

Just have a question about applying GPO's to Windows 8.1 Enterprise PC's. We have Windows server 2008 R2 DC's in our environment, so if we want to use the new policy definitions for Windows 8.1 Enterprise, we have to download them and put them in the Central
store on the Windows 2008 R2 DC server, will this be enough ? Or we have to Extend the schema of our Active directory to Windows 2012 R2 first by adding 2012 R2 DC to our Active Directory.
In otherwords what are the requirements for appying the new Windows 8.1 policy definitions in our Windows 2008 R2 environment ?

For ADM templates: Yes.
> Or we have to Extend the schema
For "some" settings, yes. Bitlocker Key storage, eg.

GUTES Buch über GPOs lesen?
NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
Good or bad GPOs?
And if IT bothers me - coke bottle design refreshment :))
