Windows 8.1 system limitations and solutions

1. The Start button still does not display the Start menu

The regression of the "start" button is a small improvement for Windows 8.1 to restore old users, but it is only available for real use. This "start" is not "start" and press it in desktop mode, it just brings you back the color block-filled Modern UI, which is completely different from Windows 7 and the previous "start.

Solution: select third-party software such as Start8 and Shell, which allows you to review the classic and charm of the Start menu.

2. Limited Modern UI window

The Modern UI is always Windows 8/8. 1. The most controversial part. Although it is full of mobile platform attributes, Microsoft hopes that it can continue some features of traditional Windows, so the user experience is full of contradictions. For example, in traditional Windows, multiple Windows can be opened at will, while the Modern UI also supports multiple Windows, but only 590 pixels is allowed for each window. That is to say, even 1920*1080 Full HD resolution can only accommodate two windows.

Solution: If you want to change the size of a project, search for "display settings" in the search box, drop down more options, and select small in "change the size of all projects.

3. The search function cannot find all files.

In fact, the search function is a major improvement in Windows 8.1. The built-in Global seo/seo.html "target =" _ blank "> Search engine supports local files, applications, and Internet content. However, the default local search mechanism is limited to desktop or Library folders. If you create a folder such as "D: Song", the content will not be searched.

Solution: change the index option in the control panel and add additional hard drive and folder.

4. Files cannot be copied under the Modern UI.

Modern UI features better touch operations, but unfortunately, you will still jump to the traditional desktop when copying files or browsing the content of a USB flash drive, the support for touch operations is unfriendly.

Solution: You can search for third-party resource managers installed with some Modern UI classes, which usually have large icons to achieve good File operation experience.

5. The notification content disappears too quickly

In the Android system, the notification content will appear in the upper left corner of the screen and will not disappear until you read the content, so do not worry about missed calls or important emails. In Windows 8.1, the notification is like a "warning", which only keeps on the screen for five seconds and disappears. It is hard for you to notice it all the time.

Solution: to keep the notification displayed until you manually delete it, you need to change the registry. Use the registry browser to access the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panelhttp: // www.111cn.net/accessibilitycategory. Double-click the messagedurationtab and use the 10th import value of 4294967295.

6. Unable to perform the "offline reading" operation on SkyDrive

In Windows 8.1, Microsoft enhanced the cloud storage priority of SkyDrive and provided desktop and Modern UI applications, hoping that users would use it more. Although the so-called "Smart File" function seems to allow you to browse all files offline, sometimes the file cannot be automatically converted to offline form.

Solution: to ensure that SkyDrive can automatically download all files to the local hard disk for offline reading, you need to manually click related files in the resource manager and select "offline use ".

7. The SmartScreen filter prevents your installed applications.

SmartScreen filter in Windows 8.1 is a security function that can help you detect malware. However, it is sometimes too aggressive and will prevent you from installing applications.

Solution: in the operation center, select "change SmartScreen filter settings" and select "do not perform any operation" to disable this function.

8. It takes four steps to shut down

Speaking of the simplest shutdown operation, the latest and most advanced windows 8.1 system can be completed in four steps (slide left on the right side of the screen to open the charms menu, click Settings, select power, select power off), isn't that ironic?

Solution: it is very simple. Click the lower-right button on the traditional desktop and select the new option. In the dialog box, enter shutdown.exe-s-t 00. Click next and rename it as needed. For example, "one-click shutdown", and then click it to implement a quick shutdown.

0. 1. A waste of time on the screen lock page

For many traditional laptops, especially non-touch screen laptops, it is a waste of time to unlock the Windows 8.1 interface. Disabling it can improve the efficiency.

Solution: open registry editor and enter

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Microsoft/Windows/Personalization category, right-click to create a NoLockScreen project with a key value of 1.
