  1. Lots of Windows Settings / Features Unavailable (Grayed out / Gone)


    The following are all the things that I have not been able to figure out why they are grayed out or completely invisible / inaccessible? I have tried all Group Policy edits and have tried the registry edits that have been suggested, but they do not seem to work.


    I also cannot choose to sign on with a local account anymore.


    The device installation settings is the one that I want to work the most as I just got a new monitor and Acer's website states that drivers would be available via Windows Update, but I cannot access it through Device Manager and Windows Update does not show it.

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Under Settings & Features what does an unavailable app mean?


    The Apps & Features list shows the applications you have installed on your system, both Windows Store app and desktop applications. By default the list is sorted by the size they occupy on the hard drive.

    List also shows the date the app was last used:

    In case of a Windows Store app showing size as Unavailable, it only means that you have not yet used that app since you upgraded to 10 like Mail and Calendar, Maps and Microsoft Solitaire in the below screenshot; as soon as I will use them, the Settings app can calculate their size. In case of a desktop applications Unavailable is also sometimes shown even when you have used the application but for one or another reason the Settings app cannot determine the size of the application. In screenshot below you can see Maxthon Browser, Microsoft Expression Encoder and Office 365 size as Unavailable although I use all of them on daily basis:

    Short answer: Unavailable in this list simply means that the size the application is taking on your hard disk cannot be determined by the Settings app.
