New build windows 8 Pc. Windows 8 Pro, clean install, AMD A10-5800 8 gigs corsair ram, gigabyte GA-F2A85X-D3H mobo Installed no problems. Computer will be running and just shut down and restart. No messages. I have upgraded the Graphic drivers, no help. CPU is running cool no issues.. Can determine no pattern, sometime runs for an hour some times 3 minutes. Occasionally will restart 2 or three times in succession. Have installed office 2010. I am at a loss at least if I got an error message I could have somewhere to start. Any thoughts?Thanks Richard Wallace View this thread

I am getting flat out tired of Microsoft not only moving around (hiding) options, but completely removing them. How the HELL do you turn off thumbnail auto-rotation? Sorry for the frustration, I am just tired of these products working against me, not with me. Searching around, it seems others are just as confused on this option. View the full article

I have an HP i7-2600S Desktop Computer. When I turned on my computer today, it appeared to be installing updates. After it booted and I logged in, I noted that the Modern UI start screen looked completely different than I had left it. All of my apps were gone and the background looked different. The only apps on the screen were desktop, store, internet explorer and file explorer. When I went to my desktop it also looked different. The desktop background was different and my desktop shortcuts were gone. When I opened file explorer all of my favorites and mapped drives were gone. When I opened my browser, I was logged out of all of the sites I am normally logged onto. It appears that all of my files are still available. Many of the apps that startup when booting were not running, such as dropbox, Malwarebytes, air video server, etc. I am afraid to set everything up again in case this happens again. I did a scan with Windows Defender and no virus were found. View this thread

Everybody has probably come across the metro app crashing issues immediately after execution. I have solved a couple of these issues so far. One issue I solved by adding &quotALL APPLICATION PACKAGES&quot permissions to a registry key (&quotHKCLwow6432nodeinterface&quot, group policy applying and excluding read access for this user), one by adding permissions to &quotC:Program FilesWindowsApps&quot directory (same user), another by adding permissions to &quot%localappdata%Packages&quot (same user again). The most annoying thing about troubleshooting these issues is that I don't understand the detailed behaviours and workings of how these apps work, and I can't find any documentation on it either. I'm working on using WADK and procmon to gain some knowledge at the moment, but want to get the information faster. Is there anybody who can step through the registry keys, executables, directories, network addresses metro apps generally use and require for successful execution and the permissions required to access them for troubleshooting purposes?

Imagine the Ultimate edition that never was. This hypothetical beast would have all the best stuff from Enterprise and Pro, nothing more. Everything would be bundled in. Of course, it would be incrementally more expensive to cover Microsoft's costs for proprietary codec licenses, etc. There are things in Enterprise I like, but the volume licensing model doesn't seem to suit me. Basically I have a need for one copy. Pro, even with a free Media Center, doesn't compel me to upgrade. So... Basic question for those still sitting on the fence (i.e., who haven't yet bought Windows 8): If a Windows 8 Ultimate upgrade became available, say for the same price Windows 7 Ultimate was a few years ago, would you buy it? Would having the best of all worlds be enough to push you off the fence? -Noel Detailed how-to in my eBooks: View the full article

I want to understand the mechanics of multiple-booting. Feel free to point me to Microsoft links which explain this. How does Windows know how many bootable OS are present? Does Windows query each partition at boot to see if an OS resides there? Or is a pointer added to the MBR as each OS is installed so Windows merely needs to check the MBR? Let me complicate the qustion slightly. Suppose multiple disks are involved, each with an OS or two. If Windows queries each partition at boot to see if an OS resides there, then multiple disks does not change anything. However, if Windows stores this information in the MBR, how does that work for multiple disks, each with its own MBR? Does Windows look at every MBR it can find at boot? One more question. If Windows adds a pointer for each OS to the MBR, then what happens if an OS is deleted, for example, when a partition is deleted or a disk containing an OS or two is physically removed?

I must be missing something. On the XBOX Music App, under &quotAll Music&quot from the xbox music store it shows a couple of store based playlists. For example &quotWho's Next&quot. When I select a playlist there doesn't seem to be any way to play it. It shows a random album cover that seems to be unrelated. If you click on any of the tracks XBOX Music will show the album that the track belongs to. Is this by design or am I missing a secret gesture. View the full article
