you want to switch to a local account? i guess you have to be activated to do that if yes it can be done through the control panel

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?

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?

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.

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.

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

net user Administrator /active:yes
