View 2 RepliesHow can I know if trim is enable on my ssd?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to confirm whether or not TRIM is actually working on my system and I can't find any definitive answers.
I'm on a new Asus G750JZ-DB73, which has dual SanDisk 128 GB SSDs in RAID0. I've heard that TRIM was incompatible with RAID, but I've also seen recent reports claiming that newer drives or motherboards or whatever did allow for TRIM with RAID drives. My knowledge if techese is limited, so I'm unsure what to believe.
Secondly, I've encrypted my SSD(s) using DiskCryptor without issue, and DiskCryptor claims full compatibility with both RAID and TRIM.
Here's where I get confused. Both CrystalDiskInfo and the "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" command in Command Prompt indicate that TRIM is enabled on my system. However, when I use TRIMcheck, I'm informed that TRIM doesn't appear to be working.
How can I conclusively verify if TRIM is working for me? And if it isn't, is there a way to activate it on my system?
EDIT: The SSD is a SanDisk SD5SE2256G1002E.
Windows 8/8.1 is supposed to have superfetch disabled automatically when it recognizes a SSD, but mine is enabled. I have a SSD but also a secondary HDD that is accelerated with a 25 mSATA SSD via Intel Rapid Storage Technology. I'm assuming since the second HDD is enhanced with a SSD then there should be no reason whatsoever to leave superfetch on.. I'm thinking I should turn it off, and if there's anything else you think I should do to improve my settings or stop any services I don't need,

UEFI doesn't detect either my DVD drive, HDD, USB.
My Hard Disk is ok and good.
I enabled Hyper-V on my computer. When it restared I saw it was configuring Hyper-V. I didn't opened Hyper-V the same day. Two days later, I wont to open Hyper-V but I can't find it anywhere! Also, it isn't listed in programs anymore... I also enabled virtualisation in the BIOS.

Now my cpu is running 50%+ much of the time fr no apparent reason.
Windows Host Process Tasks .... or some such thing shows in the Task Mgr when it is throttling my cpu....and runnig it 50%+.
How can I find and disable the service that is causing this?
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. I think this was "Application information" service.
The problem is that now I can't run app called Turbo Service Manager to backup, services.msc, regedit, elevated cmd to use "net start", msconfig, even *.reg files won't launch. I can't launch Safe Mode through metro because my USB mouse and keyboard disconnects at the moment I should choose "4".
I was using my laptop with everything going smoothly. USB port with adapter and CF card inserted. Ear buds in audio port. I decided to close the laptop which automatically puts the system in hibernate (or whatever it does when fast startup is active). Everything looked good. Now when I come back to it, open the lid and begin to startup from hibernate state it gets hung in the bootup and will not proceed. I have tried holding the power button to shut down and then restart -- no joy -- comes back to the same hung screen. Have tried holding various escape keys with startup -- no joy -- back to that same hung screen. Is there some way to bypass the hyberfil file which is probably corrupted, and get back to a full cold boot and restart from scratch?

8.1, built upon 8, will not auto-sleep as its predecessor did.
Hybrid SLEEP has been tested both on and off, fast shutdown is off.
Monitor shutdown is 10' and CPU's is :15.
Latest video driver is installed.
"Power' troubleshooter has been run. The only issue reported: "screensaver is enabled" - which it is not (blank).
I read one online article that said to "click the Windows 8 start button", and I gave up on that article. I can't figure out how to set a restore point with Windows 8.
I was also told that I needed to "enable security". I would have thought that would have been enabled automatically, but I guess not.
I have a script which runs when connecting to our vpn however it fails to set routes due to the lack of elevated permissions. When UAC is completely disabled (using the registry) the script works perfectly however certain windows 8 features don't work, such as the metro apps.
Basically I'm looking for a way to keep UAC enabled and automaically run the connection script with elevated permissions automatically, fully scripted or some sort of a work around to automatically set the routes when connected to VPN.
since installing I now have a notification in the systray saying that " Files are up to date, last updated xxx minutes ago When I click on that notification icon, it takes me to a Sky drive folder, and within it is a documents, favorites, public, and shared favorites folders. When I double click those folders, there are no files within them.I do not have Skydrive set to upload, or sync, any files. So then should I be getting these notifications? Why would it show updating empty folders when Sky drive is not enabled? Is there a setting somewhere I should change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently use Windows 8 on my desktop PC and I'm considering buying a Windows 8 tablet (x86). Currently I prefer the Asus T100.
However, I am a big fan of Google Chrome. So a requirement for me is, that Chrome runs quite well with touch.
Some month ago I tested some Windows 8 tablet and Chrome did not perform well for me because it lacked touchscreen support (pinch-to-zoom).
A few weeks ago I read this: Google adds touch-friendly Chrome features in latest test version | The Verge
Since I currenty have no touchscreen Win 8 device and no way testing one, I want to know how well this Chrome works with touchscreens.
Nobody on the web has uploaded any video about this and information is really rare.

So we got this computer brand new with Windows 7. We wanted Windows 8, and performed an clean install of Windows 8, manually formatting the partitions, meaning deleting of every recovery partitions and so on. Windows 8 booted fine, and everything worked fine, installed new drivers through Samsungs own "Windows 8 SW update"-software. Installed new updates through windows update, and everything seemed to work just fine.
But then, suddenly when the PC have been left alone for a while, and I think I can provoke the same issue by hibernate and start up again, the wifi can't connect to the wireless network, which the networks router could be found 1 meter aside. You then get the "network available"-symbol, and we can go on and try to connect to the network. The PC tries to connect for a while, and then it seems to just kill the wlan-card, like it has been disabled, and now the PC freeze. We now have to hard-reboot it, and wait for login, and then clean reboot it, and then again at login everything works fine. To the next time the PC have been left alone.
So the problem look like this; hibernation->wifi connection lost->wifi available->re-connecting to wifi->wlan-card disabled->PC freeze
What we have tried is to uninstall all wifi-drivers, install different drivers, from Samsungs site, windows pre-installed drivers, driver software-drivers and so on. Just to add, we also have this 7 series computer from Samsung, everything works fine.
I would like to nuke system for clean install. I understand there will be system reserved partitions, however, my main concern relates to OS and DATA partitions - Review attached screenshots :
150 GB for C (OS) drive?
30 GB for RECOVERY?
Remaining for DATA?
I am unsure where did I read RECOVERY should be the last partition - how would this be accomplished?
I recently installed Windows 8. I have apply every requirements that is in windows for password. In settings it is set and also in power option....
But when I restart my pc or when i shut it down and turn in it back on it doesn't ask for password and it goes straight to start screen but it does ask for password for sleep and hibernate. Its very important to me to have protection.
how to make anything else installed windows 8.1.1, and have enabled administrator account. (net user administrator /Active: yes).I do not want after install, oblige me to create a user account.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what's exactly the problem but sometimes Windows 8.1 hangs at the Windows logo at boot with Fast Startup enabled on a mSATA SSD with my Lenovo Y570 laptop.
My laptop does not support Secure Boot/GPT or UEFI, so I'm really unsure if that's the problem.
Once I disable Fast Startup the boot process never hangs ever but it makes my bootup time slightly slower.
I can't seem to get Secure Boot enabled on my laptop, the secure boot option is greyed out and I can't change it to enabled, my computer came with windows 8 on it automatically so I thought it would've been enabled by default.

I get to the expanding files screen, and once the system reboots it goes back to the Windows 7 install screen. This is an issue, because it should continue with the installation.

However, I do not possess one, and if I tried to create on and make it sign in automatically, the screen said wrong username or password. Which I don't understand at all.

I've ported small, simple and quite nice mail application MS Windows Mail (from Windows Vista) to Windows 8.Both x64 and x32 versions can be run and used successfully.It was a little bit more difficult, than make it run on Windows 7.

I downloaded the drivers for windows 7 x64bit for the SD card reader in my system. I have installed Windows 8.1 Pro x64.
I had the same issue with Windows 8 and now that I have settled on 8.1 need to fix my card reader. Funny thing is that the drivers from Microsoft load (2006) and all devices look fine in Device Manager.
Even after installing the link from Acer and even searching around and getting other ones from Lenovo, HP still no go.
I have recently bought a ASUS X550LC Laptop in that. i was trying to install bluetooth drivers but it crashes frequently during the installation. i have tried a lot and i cant able 2 solve the problem.

This, is great: Synaptic Gesture Suite
but it refers you to your manufacturer for drivers.
Am using windows 8 pro with the synaptics drivers on my sony vaio, but they are taking ages to load in whenever I reboot/startup my laptop.
I was wandering if there are any tweaks I can do to make it load into my system tray quicker. I dont have many things loading at startup so I cant see what the problem is. I would like it to load in first rather than last.
Had drive problems with PC so got new SSD drives and a Hybrid drive.All new drives so did tortuous route install win7 - upgrade to win 8.0 all worked then started acting up. My tech support worked on it for 2 days and gave up said I should backup and do a clean install from start. So I did.
Not yet put any backup files on so only operating system and devices (printer, wireless keyboard/mouse, wireless headset and 3webcams ( One Pluscom and two PCline ) checked device manager and found cameras with yellow exclamation mark and checked properties and saw this webcam.JPG . Download, install and do a reboot and see what happens.
