Charms bar accessibility[edit | edit source]
To enable the right-hand charms bar on a non-touchscreen device, open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell. A DWORD value called CharmBarMode must be created in this key and its value set to 1.
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
- The Store is labelled
@{ms-resource:ShortItemName}. - When using the password reveal feature on the Metro login screen, the text appears scrambled, consisting of a mixture of letters and symbols from various languages such as Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
- When adding a new user from the Start menu, clicking on "Create a new Windows Live ID" causes the shell to hang.
- Switching directly between users from the Start menu does sometimes cause effects to glitch out, leaving the user on a solid background. Logging of and re-logging in fixes this issue.
- The charms bar does not have a background for hovered items, which, most notably, causes both the orb and the flat Windows logo to overlap while the Start option is hovered on the left-hand charms bar.
