Have you noticed the POWER button missing on your Start screen? Is this unique to you?
Have you noticed the POWER button missing on your Start screen? Is this unique to you?
. The only issue I’m facing is with the Windows 8.1 Pro licenses I bought—specifically one of the two identical copies. They aren’t exactly the same: blinking red flags appear. The problem seems simple: on one of the identical OS versions, the App Start screen doesn’t show a power button. I’ve checked every website and tried everything, even using the registry editor... but nothing works. Some reports say this might happen only on Windows 8 for tablets, not on a regular desktop. I’ve updated both systems via Windows Update, and I know it’s probably just a minor glitch. It’s frustrating because I had two identical Windows versions, and one looks different. Why is that? Is this a common issue? :angry: It’s really annoying!
Good morning/evening everyone!! I just finished a few builds using Asus H81 and H97 Plus cards, Intel i3 and i5 processors. Everything is running perfectly . The only issue I’m facing is with the Windows 8.1 Pro licenses I bought—specifically one of the two identical copies. They aren’t exactly the same: blinking red flags appear.

Understanding the situation is tough when the post was full of irrelevant details and the image didn’t match what was said. You shared a photo claiming there’s no power button, but the image actually shows one. So naturally, people assumed you meant there’s no shutdown option. If you’ve visited the site and followed the instructions at http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/window...wer-button, then I’m unsure how to advise you. Perhaps a complete reinstall would be safer. Also, why is it so difficult to just move the mouse to the side bar and shut down from there?
