This article mainly introduces how to do abnormal operation of Windows 8 application. The introduction in this article is very detailed and has certain reference value. Interested friends must read it!

1. Create a virtual machine

Windows 8 has its own copy of Hyper-V built in, so when an app doesn't work, try enabling Hyper-V and creating a virtual machine in which to run the older version of the Windows operating system before reopening the app to avoid compatibility issues with the new system.

Close User Account Control (UAC)

In fact, Brien Posey has never encountered compatibility issues related to UAC on Windows 8, but has experienced exceptions in Windows 7. When Brien Posey *** used Windows 7, one voice entry app didn't work until he turned off UAC. Some people on the Internet have mentioned that they have experienced similar UAC issues on Windows 8, so turning off UAC is also a solution to compatibility issues.

Install. NET Framework 3.5

In Windows 8, the. NET Framework 4.5 is installed by default. However, some of the early apps also rely on earlier versions of the. NET Framework to run. If you run an application with an error related to the. NET Framework, try entering the Control Panel program and clicking the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" option in the left column. After that, the system will pop up a window with the names of various functional components. Users can choose to turn on or off a Windows feature. One Windows feature is. NET Framework 3.5, which includes content from. NET 3.0 and 2.0. Installing the. NET Framework 3.5 components will likely resolve some of the compatibility issues.

4. Find application patches

Sometimes, when you encounter compatibility issues, the first thing you need to do is check to see if the app you are using has *** patches installed. If software vendors discover Windows 8 compatibility issues with applications in time, they usually issue patches. A simple patch may solve all the problems.

5. Update the version of the application

When Brien Posey first started using Windows 8, she suddenly realized that a video editing app that she used frequently in the past would not work on the new operating system. He had planned to use some sophisticated technical means to solve the problem, but instead decided to try updating the application version first. That solved the problem, and he found that many of the new features in the new version worked well.

6. Upgrade hardware drivers

The same old apps don't work on the new system, probably because of the hardware device's driver. For example, sometimes when an app doesn't work, a message will appear saying "Windows 8 doesn't support OpenGL." However, OpenGL support is provided by the graphics driver and is independent of the operating system. It can be inferred that the problem is in the AMD catalyst that is too old. When the graphics driver is updated, I believe the problem will be solved.

7, let Windows automatically troubleshoot

Windows 8 has a utility called Program Compatibility Troubleshooting that automatically resolves compatibility issues. To run the program compatibility troubleshooting tool, users can right-click the app that doesn't work properly and select the compatibility troubleshooting option from the shortcut menu.

8. Change the compatibility properties of the application

Some apps hard decode at runtime to see if they are running on a particular version of Windows, and if the answer is no, the app won't run. In this case, system users can fool these apps into thinking they are running on a given system by configuring Windows compatibility properties. First the user needs to run the program compatibility troubleshooting tool (mentioned in item 7), and when he sees "What's wrong with you? When prompted, select the "Run in earlier versions of Windows" option and *** simply tell the diagnostic tool which version of Windwos the app needs to run in.

9. Open additional system operation permissions for applications

Older apps (especially those developed for Windows XP) sometimes fail because they don't have sufficient permissions to operate them. Again, you need to run the compatibility troubleshooting tool (mentioned in items 7 and 8). When you see "What problem do you have? "Select the Program Requires Additional Permission option when prompted. Another way is to right-click the app that doesn't work and select the "Run as administrator" command, provided that the current system account itself has administrator privileges.

Get information through the Windows Compatibility Center

When all else fails, one thing you can do is visit Microsoft's Windows Compatibility Center site for information. Windows Compatibility Center is Microsoft's window site for problem resolution for Windows 7 and 8 users. In some cases, the Windows Compatibility Center will provide users with a link to detailed instructions that they can open to see how to run incompatible apps on Windows 8.
