Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

Hope the information helps.

Please reply with the results, in order to help you fix the issue.

Wish u a Happy New Year!

Thank you

    Hello Hazel,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Have you tried refreshing Windows 8?

    If refresh fails, then you may reset Windows 8 and check if it helps.

    Refer "Remove everything and reinstall Windows" section in this article:

    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc

    Note: All of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All apps that you installed will be removed. Only apps that came with your PC will be reinstalled.

    I hope this information helps.

    Thank you
