"Test mode" watermark is not showing in windows 8 Pro and 8.1 Pro (64 bit) - windows-8

"Test mode" watermark is not showing in windows 8 Pro and 8.1 Pro (64 bit)
Tried this
bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
It enables test mode, (which can be verified using bcdedit command). But "Test mode" watermark is not appearing.
I've also disable driver signature enforcement. But nothing worked out.

Cannot start windows phone emulator in visual studio 2015

My machine is HP EliteBook 8540w which supports Hyper-V as far as I know and I have enabled it in BIOS. However, I am receiving the following error when trying to start emulator for Windows Phone apps in Visual Studio 2015:
Windows Phone Emulator is unable to start because the hypervisor is not running.
The more detailed screen shot follows:
According to my i7-720QmCPU specs, it supports VT-d
So what is the reason for it being unable to start the emulator on my machine?
Update:
I also checked using the BIOS settings using coreinfo tool with the results as in the following picture:
Update:
Following stijnvangaal's comment, I ran the following command as administrator and rebooted.
'bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto'
But, in the wake of next run I faced the following Window ("Virtual machine service not running")
Then, I started this (by clicking the link on the message box):
Under, action menu, I clicked "start service" and then ran the application again in visual studio. Success? Not yet unfortunately, ending up in this (feeling desperate):
I had the same issue :
1 - I disable the Hyper V mode in the Windows Feature :
Go to ‘Programs and Features’.
Select Turn Windows Features on or off.
Deselect Hyper-V and click OK.
2 - Restart the computer
3 - Enable Hyper V again in the Windows Feature.
And it works !
Hope it help :)
Just disable Hyper-V on "Programs and Features" (if it is enabled). Then restart computer and turn it on again. Problem solved for me

Flashing Win 10 iot on pi2

I get error while trying to flash an sd card with win 10 iot core.
used this to flash
dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck
i get error 87
while the dism version is 10.0.9926.0
am i doing it wrong ?
Which Windows version do you use?
You can try to get a fresh copy of the DISM.exe from the "Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) RC for Windows 10" package:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740
The package should contain version 10.0.10075.0 which should work fine, see that article (even without having the Windows 10 Preview installed):

unable to install intel HAXM for windows 7

i want o install Intel HAXM. unable to install it. following error pop ups as shown in screen shot.
I have turned on VT from bios.
VT is turned on, is showing.
Still i get this error. kindly check and reply.
What matters is the CPU - must be Intel processor that supports VT and NX bit (XD) - you can check your CPU # at http://ark.intel.com
Also make sure hyperV off bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
XD bit is on bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOn
Use the installer from https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager
If you're using Avast, disable "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" under: Settings > Troubleshooting. Restart the PC and try to run the HAXM installation again
I needed to disable "Hardware-assisted virtualization" in Avast Premium to install support for HAXM/VT-x in Android Studio.

PDFLatex Kile under Linux readable - Windows not

I am having a strange problem:
If I compile a PDF with Texlive 2013, Kile under Ubuntu 14.04 everything is OK with the PDF and I can open it. If I try to open the same PDF under Windows it does not work, random pages are missing, eg....!
My workaround is to open the pdf under ubuntu and print it again as a new pdf file and everything can be read by Windows.
Where is the problem? Am I missing a Windows compatibility by any Kile option? Is there some specific line to change in the pdf header file?
This is my system:
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3 Kile:
2.1.3
Windows 7 & Windows 8 - Acorbat Reader 11

I have this error message:
The windows phone emulator requires Hyper-V. Your PC is missing the
following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V:
I cannot run my project on windows 8 phone emulator since days. I searched on internet, still I couldn't solve my problem. Everyone says open Control-panel, then click turn-off or turn on windows features, then choose hyper-v option. When I clicked turn off or turn on windows features there is no option about Hyper-V. Can anyone help me?
My computer features:
windows-8 Professional (64Bit)
intel core i7 processor
8Gb ram
First step
1- turn on hyper-v from bios

2- turn on hyper-v from windows
At the Start Screen, swipe the right hand side of the screen and select the Search Charm.
Type turn windows features on or off and select that item.
Select and enable Hyper-V.
If Hyper-V was not previously enabled, reboot the machine to apply the change.
I formatted my os from windows 8 pro to windows 8 enterprise and I solved my problem easily.I know it is not a logic solution but it worked.
In order to run Windows Phone 8 emulator you need to enable Hyper-V technology in the BIOS of your PC. See the detailed article on how to do this.
First you must turn on hyper-v from bios and then turn hyper-v from windows featured list restart and then will work ..
