Windows 8.1 Feature Update Start screen NO RIGHT CLICK TO CUSTOMIZE


Recommended Posts

For some reason I'm unable to add group names in the Metro screen. The ONLY place right clicking works on the metro screen is directly on the icons.

 

I'm using Start-8 and I'm unable to test if uninstallng it will restore that feature right now.

 

If anyone is using Start-8 maybe you could verify that right-clicking on the Metro start screen will give you the option to name groups, and if the customize button will show up in the bottom right of the Metro screen.

Make sure Start8 is up to date (ver 1.40)

Did Win8 Update 1, install from Windows update or did you do it manually?

Start8 is at v1.40, and I manually updated from the Windows Update by way of the charms.

Won't be home until late tonight.

 

Try running these two commands from administrative command prompt.

 

  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

This scans and verify all windows updates, and update cache / backup are correct.

Looks like the first run liune shows some corruption. The second run line was good.

I'll go read the source to see what the corruption means?

I searched for new updates, and if found one. I let it update, and rebooted. I still can't right-click the Metro screen. I have no problem right-clicking the desktop, I just can't right-click the Metro screen.

I got a similar issue, right-clicking metro tiles or the metro screen itself doesn't show a contextual menu. All this without having Start8 installed.

The only place I saw it working was in the icons that appear if I search something.

Guys, guys. I had the same issue which came because I was using a third party theme. Revert back to default Windows theme -> right click to do your stuff again -> switch to 3rd party theme.
