HOW CAN REMOVE METRO SCREEN IN WINDOWS 8 & 8.1

The first thing you'll want to do with your new Windows 8.1 machine is set it up to keep Metro out of your way with its new settings. Right-click the taskbar, click Properties and select the Navigation tab in the resulting screen. Here's where you can tame the majority of the annoying Metro features that pop up. You can disable hot corners, the app switcher bar, and most importantly, boot directly to the desktop.

sytem not shutdown

Windows will not shut down properly

Your operating system does not want shut down properly? This is probably due to a problem related to the power management (APM: Advanced Power Management).

• To handle this problem, we must first ensure that the APM is enabled in the BIOS of the computer, and then enable it under Windows:
• Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/ View/ Show Hidden Devices
• Then look for the NT APM/Legacy Interface Node and activate it.
• Or:
• Control Panel> Power Options> APM> See that box is checked.
• Otherwise, you may install the new device with the Windows wizard.

Then

• Start, Run, type "regedit"
• Type Ctrl + F
• Search "PowerDownAfterShutDown"
• Set its value to 1 and restart the computer.

windows startup slow booting

Recently I face an issue with slow startup in Windows. My Windows will stuck at the Windows login for a long time before I can login. After login, my taskbar (the bar at the bottom) is not loading… but the desktop I fully loaded. But when I try to open any folders (e.g. My Computer) it will just hang there or not responding.

After searching high and low, I finally found the cause of the issue. The issue is caused by one of my hard drive that have bad sector! So, to fix this issue, I need to run the disk checker to check for the bad sector and fix it (if possible). Since I can’t open My Computer, I can’t access the disk properties to open the disk checker. I decided to download the Seagate’s SeaTools to find and fix the issue. You can get the bootable SeaTools here. After you’ve created the bootable disc, then you can boot into SeaTools and use it to scan and fix the issue.
