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.

you could try uninstalling a few to get the number under about 40, that is when they appeared on my screen.
I like the letters as a shortcut, and felt foolish swiping my phone constantly to get to youtube
I wonder if the 40 setting can be changed to more...or disabled in the reg.....

If you had access to the full reg and you new what you were looking for, the answer would be yes (but you cant.......yet)
Personally i like this feature of mango, esp when you have oodles of apps installed like me
any news?
40+ apps? WTF! ? !
I've got 3, and don't even use those much. No wonder everyone's having battery drain issues, mine's bad enough.

This bugged me pretty quickly after I tripped the limit (I don't have enough apps to justify the jumplist) so I went registry hunting.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Start
DWORD: GroupingThreshold
Change it to something larger. Mine was somehow set to 0 or 1 (can't remember which offhand). Turned it up to 45 (0x0000002D), did a soft reset/power cycle, and all was well.

Sure. Press the on-screen search button and press the hard back key to remove the keyboard. You now have an app list without the letters.
While loading both sites designed for mobile and desktop Browsers my status bar gets about 80% complete but will not load the page. It happens enough to be very annoying.
I have tried it with both WiFi and "4G"
Has anyone else experienced this?

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
Sent from my Samsung Focus S using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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.

HI, i used to run Windows 8 without any problems but after changing my monitor i cant use any if windows app. I tried changing some registry settings and it worked until restart also the the ratio wasn't maintained. My res right now is 1280 * 720, is there any way?

Usually for display connection and alignment... Never mess with any registry settings. That will take things down... Let us come to our point. After changing monitor you are not able to use web apps (windows store apps) or any desktop apps. What is the your new monitors resolution? And what is the display resolution mentioned inside your control panels display setting. ?

Store apps are not web apps in the slightest...
OP:
That is below the minimum requirement for windows 8.

Well yes, i know that but is their any way to run em? I can't go buying a new monitor just for that, the main reason i would state is skype, it won't run as installer but only from windows store. Their may be few more that i may need in future..

Well yes, i cant run any of the app, the installers run with no problems except few. Well i followed a guide for registry and i was able to get few extra settings but as said, they worked till i restarted my system and the icons were deformed or maybe stretched horizontally

Leaving aside the question of what ripoff con artist sold you a PC monitor with the resolution of my phone (and why you would use such a thing), you may be able to get it working by upgrading to Win8.1. They lowered the resolution requirements for Modern apps.
Also, pretty sure you can get the (desktop) Skype installer to work just fine on Win8. Try the .MSI file if the .EXE isn't working, or try setting Compatibility Mode for Win7.

you need to have at least 1024x768, the only metro app that can run with lower resolution is PC Settings
When ever I start my windows 8 this error pops up and I cant find the solution to it. It does slow down my HP Envys Finger Print Sensor and the sensor works later on on its own. I did search only and they show uo this application developer, Araxis, but thats not it at all. I tried to cure it but still nothing.
What I guessed was that it might be because of the Simple Pass or Authentec since it was creating an issue for me with the finger print sensor. I reinstalled the drivers and applications but still nothing.
This started showing up when my cousin installed HotSpot Shield on the laptop but I have permanently removed its settings and the app it self.
There was a way I could stop the pop up and well I did by going to the Task Manager and choosing disable 0017.dll on the start up which helped but its still bugging me because of that error.
I did disable it but I want to know what is it and how to cure it? I like my PCs clean.
