Night Prowler Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 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.

+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted April 9, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 9, 2014 Make sure Start8 is up to date (ver 1.40) Did Win8 Update 1, install from Windows update or did you do it manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start8 is at v1.40, and I manually updated from the Windows Update by way of the charms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted April 9, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 9, 2014 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 Source - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 This scans and verify all windows updates, and update cache / backup are correct.

Night Prowler Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3j00 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted April 9, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted April 9, 2014 not at home to test right now but i heard right click was disabled on the start screen in the update. instead you press space to bring up the customize menu now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Prowler Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yes, no contexual menus when right clicked a tile, just a checkmark in the top right in the tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxsaurav Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
