I have been using the windows 8 release preview and in the metro mode, apps close on their own. This seems to worry me because I do not like that behavior especially for a desktop os. Is there anybody else that is facing this problem?

As I understand it's this behaviour is by design, the os closes apps when you have not used them for a while.
do you know if their is any setting that you can change for this?
I think there is no such settings,still searching though.
Finding a setting of this sort would do wonders, maybe there is something in the registry that can be changed.

Hi! I've got Windows 8 Pro via one of the hospitals here in Norway, and it almost works like a charm ... Some of my important tiles like the Desktop-tile and Windows Store-tile is gone. Even the Metro PC Settings is gone. When I try to open it via the Charms Bar, nothing happens. I've had a look in the Start-Menu folder under Programs, and the shortcuts are there. So I tried to find the Shortcuts in the Windows Folder, which I succeded with, but I can't copy them in there. I get a message who says that The Operation can't be done, because the file I was trying to replace is in use by another application. I've also tried to open the Shortcuts from the original folder, without success, except the PC Settings shortcut, which only opens the normal Control Panel. So it's kinda frustrating. I've made myself a shortcut to the desktop which I placed on the Metro Page, but I really want the store and settings to work. So, does anybody know how to replace those .lnk file, or have another fix that' not resetting/refreshing Windows (that would be my very last option, as I lose my settings)
Hope someone can give me some help

I'm assuming it's a work computer. If so, it's based on how the computer was set up by your IT department. I would contact whatever people within your organization are in charge, but they have probably set the computer up that way on purpose.
Actually, no, it isn't a work computer. I know a guy at the hospital who work with IT, and I knew he had earlier tried the previews, so when I was at RTM, I asked him which version he had, and then, he sendt the .iso file for both 32 & 64bit versions... So it is my private computer...

That's pretty strange then. Is this a fresh install, or have you been using it for a bit?
This may be a simple answer but its worth asking in case you didn't think of it. Have you just unpinned them from the start menu? ie if you can launch the start screen can you type desktop or store and they come up? If so you can right click and pin to desktop.
I upgraded from Win7, but I've only kept data. I've refreshed it one time. I've not unpinned the tiles, and they won't come up as an search result when I search for them

to be clear, when you searched for them you just tapped the win key to bring up the tiles then typed desktop?
you don't need to click or do anything other than win key and type
Yup! The only thing that comes up is my self-made shortcut for showing the desktop. Very strange, I think...
Hello everybody,
I got myself a copy of Windows 8 pro through my school, and i installed it on my netbook. It's an Asus eeePc 1201HA. Installation went pretty smooth, and i love the fact it became faster with Windows 8 instead of 7.
But,
Everytime i turn on the pc and i go to the desktop modus, there is this error: ACPI Driver missing.
I have tried everyting so far, installed windows 7 driver, XP drivers, updated my bios to the latest version (fount a thread online saying this would solve the error). But I have had no luck so far.
Maybe the community can help me run windows 8 on my eeepc, without the error. :angel:
Its not ideal, but go to your BIOS n turn off ACPI 1/2, APM isn't as good bit it is functional an may patch up your problem foe the Time being

There is no option to turn off Acpi.

Good old OEM BIOSs! google your device for hidden BIOS menus sometimes pushing a series of buttons like alt F4 gives you more options

Nothing. I have searched the web. I am currently on an ami v02.61 bios. The option to turn acpi should be under the power tab. I don't have one thanks to Asus. I have tried every combo I could find. And mashed on a couple of others I could think of.
Damn netbook has been the worst purchase ever.

My phone is restoring now, hope it works. I just installed Mobo Video Player Pro because the Google movie app no longer showed my sd card videos. My phone immediately crashed/went to sleep. Hit the home button and swiped it, but it had crash alert for the app, then it would turn off again in 3 seconds. I managed to get to the app manager and uninstall it but no good. As long as I was scrolling or selecting options it would stay on. But 3 seconds of inactivity would shut it down. Beware.
Vulture if you wish , but I found out more here http://www.badappreviews.com/apps/8936/mobo-video-player-pro
Just trying to be helpful.
Tell me where it should be posted. My restore worked fine, back to Awesome!

Glad your back up and running. Next time just be more conscious of where you are posting, especially when it comes to development threads.
