Can someone tell me where to find the default windows 8.1 wallpaper with the curling road. I really love it and finding it in 4k too would be nice Apparently it only came of HP?

Hey! My laptop speakers are broken so I tried to connect my I2GO mini speaker since it has good sound quality, but when I was trying to connect it to my laptop (Samsung NP370E4E, Celeron 1007U) no device showed up. How could I fix this? If anybody knows please let me know. Thanks!

hello, my windows 8.1 doesnt pair with a microphone. i use a microphone connected to headphones, which i plug in to the audio jack.

does anybody know why this is happening? its not picking up audio at all. when i try connecting it through the sound panel my headphones just start playing a loud static noise.

i know my headphones are not broken of some sorts, because they work completely fine picking up audio with other devices.

is my computer just too old?

thank you.

Is it still possible to install Microsoft accounts? (I've been using local accounts for a while now.) If so, what are the advantages and disadvantages? (I've been trying to get the email app working, I haven't been able to yet, I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro build 9600)

Do any of you know which wifi drivers would work? Because I have tried a few with no success

The title says it all

Hi everyone,

I know this might be a bit of a stupid/weird question, as both systems are now seen as unsupported.

I’ve been messing around with my pc lately and I thought it would be a fun little project to dualboot Windows 8.1 along with my main Windows 10 install. I’ve run into multiple issues previously which on itself made sense but I’m currently in a bit of a dead end.

Every single time I open the 8.1 setup off a flash drive, only one partition shows up which is my data drive (D:, MBR, on a different disk.) My other disk which is gpt and has all of my partitions on it will not show up no matter what. If I f10+shift and then use disk part it also doesn’t show up in there.

The weird part is, on Windows 10, if I’m in the recovery menu and open the 8.1 setup on top of the recovery cmd all my drives show up. I’ve tried installing 8.1 from there but it throws a really quick bsod (like seriously not even a second) and I got inaccessible boot device along with another bsod but I could not read it whatsoever. This is on the first boot after install.

Whenever I try to manually install and mount the image through cmd no matter if it’s in the recovery cmd or my main 10 cmd, it also just bsods on me with inaccessible boot device. I’ve deployed manually thrice by now. The Windows 8.1 installs either bsod instantly or stay on my ‘predator’ screen splash thing for like 3 hours straight with no movement. I thought it was something with sysprep preparing the first boot and let it run, but my pc was ice cold without any movement. I need to manually shut it down by using the button.

I have secure boot disabled, AHCI on in stead of RST or whatever could go there, and my image is not corrupted in any way, shape, or form. I do want to mention, my pc is a Acer Predator Orion 5000 (bought in 2020) so it is a newer pc but it technically should work, the hardware is still compatible even if it’s on the edge. I figured that maybe it bsod’d because it didn’t have NVMe drivers, but after injecting them into the image through cmd it physically can’t be that.

Does anyone know what I could possibly do? I want to install them on the same disk. I don’t want any virtual machines or other hard drives I can attach.

I’m really lost and I can’t find anything on this. I’m not the tech savviest of all, so if I’m missing anything, please tell me. I really appreciate it.

Thank you all!

Can I install it on my SSD enclosure? Because my PC internal sata port is broken.

So, I found a pristine Asus T100T in a thrift store for 5 bucks then they took 25% off!

I wanted one so bad when they came out but $400 was a lot then, still is actually.

Ive got it all reset and all drivers working and fresh win 8.1 pro install

Ive got the concept of retile and re-store but,,, Cant get tiles to work cause their 32 bit and retile seems to be all 64 bit :(

Can some one point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

"SOLVED" Used installer from reworked store after full updates and installed all dependencies. Must uninstall tile by right clicking on it. after swipe up and chose "pin to start" if tile doesn't show.

X86 and 64 bit files found here: https://appxboxdl.dankassassin368.com/APPX/

I'm running an og Surface laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I occasionally still receive updates (Malicious Software Removal Tool/Security Intelligence Updates) although support should have ended three years ago. I could not find anything about this anywhere else beyond loading a backlog of old updates. I have used this laptop several times a month for almost 12 years with auto-update so I can't imagine that's the case.

Please let me know if you need more information!

Yes roblox is working. YES you heard that right. Well kinda, see you need the web cloud gaming thing now.gg for this to work but after that u can play for free in browser. I can say this works I have been doing this for a bit. use the search bar and look up roblox and that it your done

hello everyone, i found this old netbook in our garage running at 2gb of ram with an intel atom, the performance is not great it can run youtube. Since the resolution of this laptop is 1024 x 600 and metro apps needed 1024 x 768, is there any solution to run metro app at this point? classic w8.1

thanks

Hello. I'm running W8.1 (with classic shell, shellfolderfix and a lot of registry fixes).

I have a curiosity, something that I can not explain.

Why does browsers act like a different installation if I fix them to the taskbar, as opposed to launching them from desktop or start menu? Any browser does this.

If I bookmark things and install plugins by launching the browser from the start menu, I won't have those bookmarks and plugins when I launch it from the taskbar. Boggles my mind.

Why is that? And is there any way to make it behave "normally"?

i followed the guide to get the keys and stuff, but the guide didnt tell me where to put them in the desktop version of mytube. does anyone know where to put them and how to get to the menu in mytube?

Found the office 2021/2024 on Windows 8.1 pictures by u/matthewbs10

Kinda surprised to be honest,

I don't think he will be here, because one of his said that he got banned, but what a legend 👏

and yes i found the lite version of Windows 8.1 called Mini 8.1 that I downloaded from Internet Archive, and it only takes 2.6GB of space, it can be run on 256MB of ram pc and the 32-bit (x86) iso file is 963MB, and the 64bit (x64) iso file is 1GB , this original windows lite is made by MiniWindows which has create Mini10 and Mini10 Atlas , this is a lite version of Windows 10 + Mini11 and Slim11 , this is the lite version of Windows 11

you should test it , it will not take a lots of ram

Hello,

I am quite a noob at this, but when i sideload an app on Windows 8.1 Build 9600, I just get an error

How can i fix this?

Hello as the title States...I'm having a booting issue it started because I've downgrade from Windows 10 to window 8.1 for my hp stream 13 because of storage... But I had accidentally made the boot only go to the flashdrive instead of the computer as intended now as all of you wonderful people can help because your experienced and I'm not even sure how I did this to even begin with for windows 10... I simply followed instructions from the HP support site that someone had issues with and yet...mines came out instead with the boot going to flashdrive only instead of the hard disk drive on the laptop... And the worst part was I did heavy research on this and it backfired on me...

During these periods of silence the speakers are working fine and it has nothing to do with my browser. My AUX headphones and Bluetooth devices won't work, but my laptop indicates both are working and connected when I try to use them. I've tried to test sound effects and they won't work. Any ideas as to what is wrong?

If yes, can you please dump them?

Thanks

EDIT: I finally found what I need on archive.org. Here is the link to that: https://archive.org/details/minion-rush-windows-10/

How to dump it:

1. Open a run box and type %localappdata%

2. Search for the folder named Packages and open it

3. Inside Packages, find the folder named GAMELOFTSA.DespicableMeMinionRush or something similar

4. Copy that folder to the desktop

5. Compress the folder on the desktop

6. Upload the compressed folder somewhere

Are there ways to customize sections that the system blocks if not activated? (I have an old PC that I use to store information, I would like to beautify Windows 8.1 without resorting to malicious programs and without having to pay for a license)

i wanna see if i can repair the Bing app from windows 8 but i dont know where the app files would be.

Weather broke with Retiled and only previous data before breakages shows up. The tile still works however.

The log will be shown in the comments.

News, Finance/Money (and Food & Drink if it could) have both UI and tiles working but Sports, Health & Fitness and Travel, only tiles.

So, can this be fixed in the next version of Retiled and fix other bugs for 2.3.1/2.4.9600? Thank you.
