Thread: Metro UI Invisible

I've been using the default Windows Defender that comes installed with Win 8 DP (MSE in Win 7). Has been working very well for me. "Theoretically" any AV that works in Win 7 should work in Win 8 DP, but since this is a far from complete OS There may be some things that "Theory" does not seem to apply. I have started installing apps I have in Win 7 into this OS. Quicken 2011 works just fine. I point to my data file on my data partition and open the file easily. I don't even have to worry about synchronizing the files since they are the same file.

But enough of apps. That belongs in a different forum from Start Screen and Desktop.

I did try to set up a second user to have one user with Metro UI and one without the Metro UI. This worked fine except that the default tiles in the Metro UI would not activate anything. They just did not work. Since I like the Desktop UI much better anyway I deleted the second user (I set it up twice, once with the 2nd user as an Administrator, and once with the 2nd user as a limited user. Tiles did not work with either. I even tried to undo Method 2 to see if this would fix the tiles problem, but no go.)

"Y'all know what that means, Right"

I don't, pardon me. I have a live id, which I need for several other purposes. I have a live ID signin and an Adminstrator signing in Windows 8.

Hey Dave;
How's it going today.
I believe that he is referencing K.I.S.S. ( an acronym / initialism / neumonic / whatever) for "Keep It Simple Stupid". Evidently he feels that using a Live ID sign in, somehow doesn't. I on the other hand am still hoping that it will help facilitate additional features and support a single sign in for things like their cloud products (Office Live /365, Sky Drive access, App Store, etc.,)
Just my interpretation.
Regards
Randy
