Windows 8 and NumLock on Lockscreen
Hi there, I have a really annoying problem on all of my Win8 laptops. Whenever fast startup is enabled, NumLock on the Keyboard is disabled on the Lockscreen. When I turn off fast startup or do a reboot everything works fine. This scenario is reproducible and definitely related to the fast startup setting. The InitialKeyboardIndicators Key is set up correctly. As you can log on to Win8 with a PIN this is even more annoying. Is there any other fix for this available then disabling fast startup? Thanks a lot! View the full article

Windows 8 reboots without a warning
Hi all, I'm having troubles with my PC (Windows 8) since the first day of 2013 when I came to work as usual, opened Winamp to play a song and and when I double-click the file the PC suddenly rebooted itself, on Log On there was no Error Notify, no dump file, no nothing and from that day I'm having reboots without a warning constantly, the next day still the same thing with winamp, after that the PC crashed when working in Outlook. Until the first reboot without a warning the system was working properly for more than 3 months (Windows 8), I've tried other RAM modules, uninstalled Norton Internet Security, checked the CPU temperature - all good around ~38, removed my USB speakers (the only USB device attached to my PC), didn't used another PSU yet but I don't think it's a power issue because it's a good PSU and no Hardware changes were made. So, the crashes can happen anytime, but if I want the PC to reboot itself it will definitely happen when using Winamp, playing a song or just maximizing the window by dragging it. I'm a advanced PC user but I never seen such a thing before. Windows has all updates installed and I installed the latest Winamp version. Need some help with this one, thank you....

Windows 7 Updates continue to automatically install after I have changed settings to "check with me
Windows 7 updates continue to install automatically after I have changed Important updates settings to "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them". Under "Recommended Updates" I have checked off "give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates are received. I have disabled the Microsoft product updates function in that Updates window as well, the 4th option on that page. Everything was working fine until January 8th, and nothing has changed on my system. Somehow they are getting through. Thanks! View this thread
