Windows 8.1 update 1 tablets keep defaulting to desktop

Now I'll start by saying I just say Keith mention needing to copy the 6.2 unattend files to 6.3. Which I'll try doing, but won't have time until next week. Has anyone thus far imaged a tablet with 8.1u1 yet? I built all new images using the 8.1 ISO that
includes update 1. I have the latest ADK installed, but I'm guessing something in MDT isn't aware of what's changed.
As of right now, if I image a tablet it always goes back to the desktop when an app is closed even if it is not set to boot to desktop. Anyone else experience this? Next week I'll try building all new task sequences and reference images after copying all
the 6.2 unattend files to 6.3

No GPOs are applied and this is being imaged as a normal "workgroup" tablet. After looking over it, the unattend.xml file wouldn't have been an issue as the only changes needed were already in it. I did notice two things that could be contributing
factors. One I have HideShell=YES on my deployment share for creating reference images and two the reference image for tablet had the check box to boot to desktop. Although that still doesn't explain why after changing it to boot to start it still goes to
the desktop after an app is closed. Anyway I found some information saying that the deployment share should be updated and rebuild the boot images after installing the ADK update. I'm going to make these changes, build some new sequences and a new image and
see what happens.
I think I may have found my answer (or rather cause):

Actually, yup that's it. If the box is checked for "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" it will go back to the desktop when you close a store app.
My Solution: Uncheck that box and then recapture the reference image. (I have a specialize image for tablets) and I'm using copy profile
Alt Solution: Either uncheck the box manually or script a registry change.
I tracked it down, change the 1 to a 0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

Windows 8.1 update with KB2919355 keeps failing

hi,
I'm trying to get my Windows 8.1 updated with KB 2919355 but it keeps failing with error code E0000100.
I've tried tried to resolve using the "clearcompressionflag" tool, but that had no effect. The update will install but after reboot of machine, the update fails.
I'm running 64 bit and the pc is upgraded from Win 7 then Win 8 and finallly Win 8.1.
Please help.
Thanks
Marc

WindowsUpdate.log is here:
Aha. I think we are going to need a previous piece of the CBS.log. This KB2919355 is so huge that it seems to have wrapped the one that you are showing us. I.e. I suspect the most interesting piece of it will reflect what happened to produce
this event (or an earlier one of the same code 0xE0000100)

Unless that driver information is enough of a clue to help you devise a workaround? What is that device? You could use WMIC (or Powershell) to find out more.
E.g. try
wmic Path CIM_SystemDevice where (__RelPath like "%Ven_10%") get PartComponent
I'm sure we could find something more specific but that gives you an idea I hope.
You can do a Find in your WindowsUpdate.log for Installation Failure: to see that there is a definite pattern to the failure reports: 4 install errors and 1 download failure then 1 install error and 1 download failure.
So I suspect that the last ones, for the download failure, or even the quick install error is not going to be as interesting as the first of a set of 4. E.g. those later ones may just be the server throwing up its hands and saying: Go
away! (figuratively speaking, of course.)
Of course I may be completely off the mark here with such speculation, so you may prefer to leave it to Darrell to choose what he wants to look at. Thanks for both diagnostics. I think they will help.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 update 1

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/04/02/windows-81-update-1-is-coming-april-8-here-are-new-features/?intcmp=obnetwork
At Build 2014, Microsoft’s annual developer-focused conference, the company dished out some details about Windows 8.1 Update 1, the first significant Windows update since it became available back in October. Here’s a rundown of the changes that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will bring about once it’s released as a free update for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users on April 8, which happens to be Microsoft’s next regularly scheduled Patch Tuesday.
Boot straight to the Desktop:
As was previously rumored, Windows 8.1 Update 1 will allow users to boot and resume straight to the classic desktop UI, allowing them to bypass the tiled Modern UI altogether. This will likely be a welcome feature considering that the Modern portion of Windows 8 hasn’t been well received since it debuted back in late 2012.
Changes to the Taskbar
With Windows 8.1 Update 1, you can use both desktop programs and Windows Store apps from the classic desktop UI. Windows Store apps will also work on the desktop UI’s Taskbar as well, and a new button on the Taskbar will permit you to access the Windows Store without forcing you to dive into the Modern UI to do so. With Windows 8.1 Update 1, the Taskbar will be accessible while using Modern apps by moving your mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.
Tweaks to the Modern UI Start screen:
The Modern UI Start screen will also receive some tweaks, including dedicated Power and Search buttons. The addition of a dedicated power button in the Start Screen will allow users to power their PCs off without having to open the Charms menu, shaving some seconds off the process of shutting down their systems. Newly installed Modern apps will be labeled “New,” and will pull up a drop-down menu when right-clicked, as opposed to the bar on the bottom of the screen.
Overall, Windows 8.1 Update 1 is a minor refresh as opposed to a dramatic makeover. Microsoft also reiterated that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will drop the minimum system requirements to 1GB of RAM and only require 16GB of storage, allowing the OS to run on lower-end PCs.
We look forward to spending time with Windows 8.1 Update 1 once its released next week, and we’ll follow up with our hands-on impressions as well.

In my opinion (and I'm not the only one):
Windows 8 was a bad move (same as Vista).
Windows 8.1 is a roll back to Windows 7.
p.s.
"Fast boot" is a feature useful for those who boot up the computer all day long.
The main problem is that it's a recipe for problems.
It's based on hibernation (a snapshot of the last working config).
Many people already got corrupted system files after shut down and a minor hardware change.
Simply because the saved snapshot didn't fit with the current config anymore.
That's the (huge) price for those 5-10 seconds boot up time.

Making IE 11 as default browser for windows 8.1 Update

Hi,
We are performing bulk deployments for Windows 8.1 Update using Config manager 2012 R2. Its x64 OS deployment.
I am looking for a way to make windows 8.1 Update IE browser as a default browser for all users.
Any local group policy or batch file or any script that would do this, would be great.
Can anyone pls. some script\pointers on how to achieve this? Thanks
Regards,

prior to Win8, you could set file-type associations and protocol associations a few ways.
e.g.:
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/09/how-to-use-group-policy-to-change-open-with-file-associations/
Since Win8, there are extra thing to deal with, e.g.:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx

Input language keeps defaulting to U.S. since updating to Maverick.

Input language keeps defaulting to U.S. I have my input language set to German and Russian but it keeps defaulting to U.S and i have to reset it every time through keyboard preferences. This has only started since I updated to Mavericks. It's not consistant for e.g. sometimes it happens on start up and sometimes whenever. It can go long periods without resetting and then, as lately - every start up!. Very very annoying. Have read on many forums similar problems but unfortunately nothing to cure this. I'm guessing it's a Mavericks thing (OS X 10.9.1) Any idea how to solve this?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

I tried to change my persona and firefox keeps defaulting to my old one before I updated my browser.Is there anyway to change this without uninstalling the whole browser? Because I'd like to keep all my bookmarks and such. Thanks

I uninstalled all other personas besides the default and the one I want and it still goes back to the old persona unless I keep firefox on default. \The desired persona is a sports one and it keeps defaulting to a surfing one.

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

Can anyone answer why in logic pro X I keep getting a window popping up that says Directory not found, result code= -120, followed by another window saying, Fade update failed, (error -120)?

Can anyone answer, why in Logic Pro X I keep on getting a window popping up saying, Directory not found, result code = -120. Followed by another window saying, Fade update failed, (error -120)?
I am running the latest version 10.0.5 through a Macbook Pro that has just been upgraded to 16GB Ram and a 960GB SSD which has made it as fast as ****. I upgraded because I was experiencing problems before and it was suggested that I didn't have enough Ram?
I am using a Focusrite scarlett 2i4 and an Alesis Q61 midi controller. Weirdly, just trying to put a bass line down on a track using the Alesis, the bass sound goes out of tune with the track during recording only. This is very frustrating! I surely can't be the only one experiencing this?
Many thanks
Rob.

Hi
Time lost could be a problem, but.....
Sadly, I don't think that there are any Apple docs relating to networked storgae issues with Logic. Other than a 'school' or 'business' setup, NAS/OD/AD setups are not usual circumstances for audio.
If the issue is one of data backup & security, it may be enough to automatically backup the students local work folders to the NAS.
If the issue is one of the Users being able to work from any Mac and pick up their files from the server, you are not likely to resolve this problem, without copying the files to the Local Mac.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Windows 8 automatic update keeps turning itself off

My windows 8 automatic update alert to turn it on keeps alerting me that it needs to be turned on,( the little flag to go to action center with the red background and white cross..)
so i go to action center and change the setting from automatic updates off to on (recommended) automatic update, yet maybe 30 mins later it pops up again to tell me its off and needs setting to turn on automatic updates.
I would like to leave it set at the recommended setting , but for some reason it reverts back to off, after some time, even after rebooting etc.
Please help, could it have anything to do with the new bit defender i have purchased or the fact that i have not been able to trust this pc? as i did a system refresh only days before i installed bit defender .
so yeh also having trouble trusting my pc?? ive signed in so many times i give up trying to follow the prompts, as i don't really keep passwords etc on my pc i was not so worried about that but it could be this that caused this prob, or the fact i haven't
updated to win 8.1, the reason i did not update to win 8.1 was because the new system created two accounts for me n my wife , and i did not wish to have such and it was just a nightmare so i uninstalled it along with many other reasons ive now forgot, but
it was not user friendly for my purposes in sharing a laptop with my wife.
any help would be appreciated in layman's terms as i am not really a wizard on these computers.
Thank you

Some AV and or malware programs will do this. I'd try a clean boot to test.

Keeping up with windows 7 64bit updates

I am deploying the windows 7 security updates through patch management. However, I am using a computer that is configured for automatic updates as a baseline and zcm is not covering all security updates. I have created bundles to deploy the missing updates. Is there an official list of all security and recommended updates that need to be deployed for all computers?

Old critical problem is actual for Windows 8.1 Update and Windows 10 TP

Hello,
my app is in the Windows Store 2 years and all 2 years I am getting reviews with 1 stars with complaining about cache size, which can be 10-30Gb... I have reported about this problem to Microsoft Support at October 2013, but problem is not solved in Windows
8.1 Update and it is amazing... I reproduced problem on Windows 10 TP. More details about problem in my old topic https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ru-RU/0a5d2822-9a3f-48ef-a30e-e8826e76b5b5/critical-problem-still-exists?forum=winappswithcsharp
Big files with size more than 5Mb are stored and are not deleted, so information in last message is not right.
Is it so difficult problem to resolve? Please enable option for Windows store apps co they can delete their cache manually. If problem is not resolved in Windows 10 final release, I will write about it to all major IT magazines, because problem is very critical
and AFFECT ALL APPS from Windows Store.
sorry for my English, thank you.

Hello,
Keep in mind that the current cache size limit (W8.1) is 95% of free space or 4 GB whatever is smaller. 200 MB is not very large. Do you see the cache reach a size of greater than 4 GB?
-James
Windows SDK Technologies - Microsoft Developer Services - http://blogs.msdn.com/mediasdkstuff/
yes, my users report about 10-30Gb size, also for my radio app I do not see any reasons to store radio stream cache even 100Mb, because it is absolutely unnecessary. I think 4 Gb for cache on Windows tablets with 32 Gb SSD is too big. Also users think
what it is my trouble that app generates big .dat files, and they think I do not see their reviews and do not do anything to solve problem, it makes me very unhappy.
