Windows 8.1 override for windows display language registry location

Hi,
I need to programmatically set the windows display language (control panel>language>advanced Settings) so that English (United States) is selected. Is there a registry key that I can set this to? I think it would be located here but not sure what to
change :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages
Does any one know where or how to set this in the registry? Or maybe there is a command I can run? The goal is so that the user does not have to manually do this in the control panel.
TIA

Hi mkozz28,
You can specify the default language, locale, and keyboard values during deployment or after Windows is installed. You can configure Windows international settings by using the Windows International PowerShell cmdlets, by using an answer file with Windows
Setup, or by using Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM).
In your case which is by using command prompt, we recommend using PowerShel depends on your needs.
To sets the Windows user interface (UI) language override setting to en-US for the current user account:
Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-US

Since upgrading to 10.7.4 my 21.5 inch imac the window is too large for the display. How can I make it fit?

since upgrading to 10.7.4 my 21.5 inch imac the window is too large for the display. How can I make it fit?

Some possibilities:
If you have a Magic Mouse do Control+stroke downwards on the mouse.
Check System Preferences>Displays is set to the correct resolution
Check System references>Accesability and make sure Zoom isn't turned on.

In Address book print window opened too large for window. Unable to close

Using Address book, trying to print lables for a group, print window opened to large for window.... cannot cancel or close out.

In general, in any window presented which calls for user action, if a button is highlighted (usually in blue if the OS is in charge) then pressing Return or Enter will do the same as clicking that button.
Most of the time the highlighted button is the one which is most usable - the "Print" button in that dialog window, for example, or the "Save" button in a Save dialog window.
The keystroke Command-. (Command-periodkey) will usually invoke a "Cancel" button if such is present in a window.

Windows 8.1 apps for windows 10

My windows 8.1 apps seem to work fine on the windows 10 I am testing on my Surface. Only problem I can see is 10 has no Charms and all my apps use it for privacy policy - as instructed to do - and Help files.
Does this mean I will have to add URL links somewhere else for them to be accepted for windows 10?
Many thanks

Hi,
Yes, they gone in Windows 10. You could access this function page, you click the Start button to display the new Start menu. Under Places, you click a link to the Settings screen, which incidentally sports a new look but offers the equivalent options and
more.

Windows Intune support deployment for windows phone (8.1) *.appx files

Hi
We are trying to deploy a windows phone 8.1 appx file with intune (over sccm console). the appx file is signed with a valid symantec certificate.
the installation of the app fails, either when we upload the file as "Required" (so pushing it automatically to the devices) or when we make the app on the company portal app available.
in the sccm console the deployment status says failed -> unkonwn error.
when we use .xap file of an windows 8.0 app, it works like a charm and the xap file is signed with the same certificate.
My question is, is there no support for publishing windows phone 8.1 appx files on Intune? Or what can it be?
Thanks for any hints

UPDATE
According to these links and the comments from Mitch Denny, can somebody confirm that .appx files (company apps) cannot be deployed/installed on windows phone 8.1 yet?

Do I need to re-build my window 8.1 driver for Windows 10 (WDK10)?

Hi, all
I am testing my hardware driver in HLK for windows 10 certification.
I test the version for windows 8.1, it manually works OK in windows 10 (Build:10041).
My question is : Do I need to re-build it use VS2015 CTP + WDK10? Or just install the 8.1 version then run HLK tests?
Is there any feature of HLK needs to re-build driver using wdk10?
(We didn't change any function or feature on this driver.)
Thanks for the patientce for answering my question.

The driver should work fine, Microsoft does a lot of work to ensure driver compatibility across revisions. The only time I have encountered a need to build with a differing version is when the HLK (or actually its predecessors) required a specific
tool for a submission. Even then the older signed driver is acceptable until you need to modify it.

Need Windows Media Player Plugin for Windows 8

When I go thru the directions to install the plugin it only shows up to Windows 7. I have Windows 8. The media player works fine thru Internet Explorer, but I'd rather use Firefox.
Problem - I have an important viewing of my daughter's 3d/4d ultrasound this Saturday and I don't want to mess up my laptop by installing the wrong version and not being able to view it at all.
Thanks.

Those instructions should work for Windows 8 as well.
Did you try to install the plugin, assuming that you've already installed the WMP?

Is there a Windows Media Player plugin for Windows 7?

Firefox tells me I need to manual install a plug-in for Windows Media Player but when it takes me to the plug-in it is only for Windows Vista and earlier Windows versions. Should I install that plug-in or just not bother, as for some reason the content plays anyway?

WMP plugin craps out when I go to XM satellite raio NO SOUND Please Fix Soon!!!

Upgrade to Windows 10; HP_RECOVERY partition for Windows 7 still needed

I intend to update the Windows 7 operating system ( Professional, 64 bit) on this Compaq 8100 machine to Windows 10 in the near future.On this machine a disk partition (HP_RECOVERY, 11 GB) contains elements for Windows 7 system recovery.I assume that the data in this partition is of no further relevance, once the update to Windows 10 was successful.I therefore intend to delete all the file therein and use the space for useful other data. Since I maintain backup files with Acronis, I can always restore the deleted files if needed. Any comments on this intension to delete the "recovery files". Any reservations about doing so ?

If you upgraded to Windows 10 and have a have a hard disk image backup with Acronis you may delete to recovery partition after 30 days, presumably D. It is probably corrupted anyway after the upgrade.

Downgraded windows 8 need bios for windows 7

i have the hp envy h8-1569 pc, came ithe windows 8. i had to downgrade it to windows 7 pro x64. all is working well, but i am wondering do i downgrade the bios to win 7 or leave it alone?

Hi,
As this is a consumer class PC, I don't believe that HP will release any bios update for Windows 7 - if everything is working well, then there's no need anyway.
Best regards,

Windows 10: Annoying "Skype for Windows desktop" notification on startup.

Ever since I've upgraded to Windows 10, I've been getting this annoying pop-up notification every time I boot up Skype. And it reads "Would you like calls and Skype links to always open with Skype for Windows desktop? If so, click Yes and on the following screen Select All and Save." There's an option to check "Do not ask me again", but it doesn't seem to have any effect, because it still pops up every time I launch. Whether I click yes or no, with "don't ask" checked or unchecked, I still get the same result. And whenever I do click Yes, I get a metro notification saying "To change your default apps, go to Settings > System > Default apps." Not a screen where I can hit Select All, just this message. This is a problem, because one, I'm being given information that's contradicted in a matter of seconds, and two, I shouldn't even have to manually change this in the first place. It should just do this automatically. But even if they do expect me to do this manually, they don't even tell me what to change or how to change it. It just tells me where I can change it, which isn't at all helpful! I tried changing the protocols to best match what defaults it wanted to change, and it had no effect. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled Skype, and it's still not going away. If anyone knows a solution to this, please respond soon. I'm anxious to have this resolved. Many thanks,- Sean

Nevermind. Apparentlly all I had to do was go into "Default Programs" through "Control Panel" and set Skype to default to all it's associated file types. Which is very misleading considering it was leading me into the modern "Settings" application rather than just to the control panel directory. Oh well, at least I figured it out. Sorry for wasting any of your time.

What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining. I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows. I have heard that the best PC is a Mac. Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7. The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

Windows Movie Maker 2 for Windows XP SP3 32 Bit

Hey Guys,
I'm having a small issue with Windows Movie Maker . I work for a school district and in the lab we have about 25 machines and I'd say over half of them are having this issue. The issue is that when you open up WMM - click on Import Pictures
and then go to the sample pictures directory and import any of the pictures into collections and then drag that into the Video time line. It doesn't show up in the video preview it's just a black window and when you click narration it gives me a "Class Not
Registered" error. Now, I've been doing some digging and a lot of people on different forums suggested to do a rundllsvr32 for a couple of dlls that fixed the class not registered issue for some people, but not for me. I even tried reinstalling WMM by going
into systemroot\inf and hitting install on moviemk and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what this problem could relate to ? Whether it's a matter of video drivers ( I have latest one ) or video codecs ? I did also try deleting all the video codecs
under Sound and Audio Devices too. So, if anyone knows anything about this that would be Highly Appreciated.
Thanks again !!
