Windows 8 would not boot. So I ran a refresh. Well this worked however some issues occured after this.
C: permissions changed and I had to give them from command prompt, booting to CD. Now windows applications are loading properly now.
The only issue I have left is missing Windows Tiles. The default ones like skydrive, messenger, my computer, documents. They do not come up when you type to search either. Control panel I was able to get back by pinning the control.exe file. But this is
quite the process for all apps.
I did notice however that c:program fileswindowsapps was missing completely. I have tried to copy this folder over from another windows 8 machine to see if this would help. Nothing. Even changing the permissions to everyone.
Is there any way to reload the windowsapps folder and tiles?
