    Start not showing on 2d computer


    hi guys,

    well Windows 10 installed smoothly starting from inside hub.

    The computer from my wife installed in the same way, BUT while i can get the STARTSCREEN, she gets the older start that was there in some of the previous builds.

    Anyone ideas how i can change this?

    thanks

    Jeff

    :)

    can't install the Minesweeper on the other (2d computer)

    Original Title: failure to install MS game on windows 10

    I have an admin acct. on 2 computers running win 10. I've installed MS Minesweeper on one and can't install the game on the other (2d computer). . Its a free game and supposedly can be installed on up to 10 computers. When I go to ms store on the 2d computer
    it says I already own the game and can install it on this devise. It does not appear as an app. on the list. I click on "install" - little dots start to move horizontally but nothings happens. I have installed another MS game on the 2d computer. Any ideas
    as to why it won't install?

    Windows Hello - Supported Camera List?

    You wouldn't want Hello to work with 2D cameras. All somebody would need to do is show your device your photograph. A 2D camera can't tell the difference. If Hello worked with 2D cameras, security experts would be laughing all over the Internet about
    how useless it is and how nobody should ever use it.

    Quick question for clarity, was your Wife's machine on the Insider program?

    There may be potential files left over from the older builds?

    no ,

    it was an upgrade from Wins 8.1 which was almost the same as Windows 10, so with the startscreen.

    I am about to installing this on the 3d pc, and see what gives

    but thanks

  6. Jeff,

    If it has activated, I would recommend doing a clean install anyway. The only reason that we recommend the upgrade option at the moment is so that your Windows 10 is activated against the hardware.

    The quirks can be due to many things, but most likely corrupt files or issues with the original upgrade.

    well Sniper,

    the 2d pc coming from Windows 8.1 reacts just the same....

    i will leave it like that because the users that where on Windows 8.1 never used the Start Screen.

    But when i wanted to install Win 10 on the 4d pc, i get the message (after hitting upgrade) "something happened" you must reboot.

    Well after the 3d reboot i have had it.

    Am not interested in a clean install because then i have to reinstall the 35 programs that are on the computer also....

    I have to do this then on 7 Windows 8.1 pc's and 1 Win 7 sp1 pc in total.

    When i see the problems i have now....i am not so keen to do all that.

    Jeff

  8. Start not showing on 2d computer

    Hey Jeff,

    That sounds very irritating and I understand your frustration. On the machine that required multiple reboots, would you be able to get the windows logs and potentially the WindowsUpdate.log?

    We may be able to narrow down the cause of the issue.

    hi Sniper,

    forget about the installation....

    i clicked the wrong URL to create a media and i am not to shy to tell the truth.

    My bad. tried to install the upgrade, but when i clicked on reserve nothing happened, so i tried it the manual way.

    The fault you see is for my Logitech mouse, but i guess this will be fixed after the install.



    So forgive me for the inconvenience.

    Start not showing on 2d computer

    ok have to say this.

    when sign-in to my MS account on the 4th pc, i still cannot reserve my copy. And when installing the latest patches to get them out of the way, i get the message RESERVE YOUR COPY NOW, cannot hit that either. Even learn more shows.....nothing.
    Strange. I was expecting that the upgrade would be easier.

    On my wifes computer half of the icons on the taskbar where gone, Outlook was gone also and i had to reinstall the accounts.
