Very nice artcile but i also have another question.

Until now we uses to have limited user accounts and admin accounts.

Now we have this distinction:

Local User Accounts: Typical or Admin
Online User Accounts: Typical or Admin

Am i understanding this correctly?

Also please tell me:

I cant use HDMI as well because laptop and TV are in different rooms, must be wireless.

I had that option and now it just got dissapeared although Samsung TV can be found on Control Panel Devices.

I am not usre but maybe that happend when i turbo boosted my pc via ASC somethign must have bneen disbaled there although i looked at it i dont understand

Also i wanted to know if there is a batter DLNA server for Win8 to stream wirelessly atmy Samsung TV except Samsung PC Share Manager v4.2 which have some issues.

Thanks.

Can you check any Logs that ASC could have disabled a service that was required.

According to the Windows 8 Compatibility Center, Samsung PC Share Manager (v4) does appear to be compatible (see here).

Am I right in saying you used 'Samsung PC Share Manager' which acted as a Media Server to stream from PC to TV?

And, you're looking for an alternate Media Server software to stream, if Samsung PC Share Manager don't work?

 

[Nikos]

ASC iam afraid kept no logs for boosting and disabled services.
I just unboosted it but problem persists.

'Samsung PC Share Manager' is compatible and workign but has other issues and i want an alternative with ability to send external subttiles as well.

Please help me with this too:

If you just tell me please since now iam logged into as an administrator, how can i alter the type of my "nikos" user account from an MS online account to a local user account?

Thank you.

Setting > Change PC setting > users > Switch to local account

Setting > Change PC setting > users > Switch to local account

Thats when you logged in as "nikos" user account that you can change your own type form online => local

What if you when you logged in as "administrator" ?

can you chnage the type of "nikos" from online => local as wellwhen logged in as administrator user?

How come you can alter the "nikos" type from administrator => typical use and not also from MS account => local account so that the "nikos" password can then be altered easily by cmd?

From what I know, you shouldn't log in or use the "Administrator" user account.

What if you when you logged in as "administrator"?

I don't quite understand what you're saying for the rest. :huh:

All those changes for the user "nikos" must be made from within the Administrator account after enabling it as:

net user Administrator /active:yes
