Maintenance :: Superfetch Enabled On SSD?

Oct 21, 2013

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,

Maintenance :: Windows 8.1 With Fast Startup Enabled Hangs Occasionally?

Oct 24, 2013

I'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.

Why Does Win 8.1 Still Enable Superfetch On SSD

Dec 28, 2013

I though that Windows 8.1 optimizes its settings if it detets I have an SSD

Well I did a clean install of 8.1 Pro and after I installed everything, I ran the winsat formal command in DOS so it can run WEI and do the needful

I noticed that Superfetch is still enabled/

I have 32 GB of RAM and an SSD why isn't it disabling it?

I know I can do that manually but I am wondering if it is beneficial to keep it on on my setup

This is how my RAM usage is after rebooting and leaving the system idle for 10 minutes:

On Windows 7 my RAM usage would've been much higher indicating that it is loading programs in the prefetch I'm not sure it is really doing anything on Windows 8 even though the service is active and enabled by default

SuperFetch Changes From Disabled To Automatic

Feb 3, 2014

Any way to disable SuperFetch permanently it re-enables almost every day not sure if something else like tune up enables it i know its used to collect information about started programs so the next time they can start faster but I don't really see any difference with or without it so I don't really like it and it actually makes my disk usage go to 100%.

Service Cannot Be Started - No Enabled Devices Associated

Nov 28, 2013

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".

Laptop Hang Up On Boot With UEFI Enabled

Jul 26, 2014

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?

How To Set Restore Point And Make Sure Security Is Enabled

Nov 21, 2012

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.

Security :: How To Keep UAC Enabled And Run Connection Script With Permissions

Aug 16, 2013

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.

Feb 15, 2014

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.

Tablets :: Chrome On Touchscreen-enabled Windows 8

Oct 15, 2013

I 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.

Freeze With Wlan-card Disabled / Enabled?

Feb 20, 2013

Computer: Samsung 530U, NP530U3C-A07SE

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.

Hardware Drivers :: How To Tell If TRIM Is Enabled On RAID0 SSD - Asus G750JZ DB73

Sep 15, 2014

I'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.

Accounts :: Auto Sign-in Doesn't Work If Remote Connection Enabled

Nov 13, 2013

I would like for my computer to sign in automatically with my Microsoft account, however, when I enabled Remote Desktop Connection (for I would also like to be accessed remotely), the automatically sign-in function doesn't work, because sign-in screen is now set by default to log in with local account rather than Microsoft one. 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.

Maintenance :: Regular Maintenance Scheduled Task Not Waking Computer

Apr 19, 2013

Having a problem with the Regular Maintenance waking the computer (Windows 8 on a Lenovo Q-190) to do its scheduled task as it's supposed to do. Here are the symptoms:

1. If I change the time for Scheduled Maintenance in the Action Center (Change Maintenance Settings), it WILL be reflected properly in the Properties of the Regular Maintenance Task in Task Scheduler.

2. However, if I check the box for "Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time" in the Action Center (Change Maintenance Settings), it WILL NOT reflect in the Properties of the Regular Maintenance Task in Task Schedular. Specially, I check the box to wake up my computer in the Action Center Maintenance Settings, but the corresponding checkmark is NOT reflected ("Wake the computer to run this task"), in the properties of the actual task in Task Scheduler.

3. I then put the checkmark directly in the Regular Maintenance Task itself ("Wake the computer to run this task"). However, at some point in the future, (not right away; I close and then reopen the task to make sure that it 'sticks'), the checkmark "disappears. Then, the task does not run at night while the computer is asleep, but runs in the morning when I wake the computer for regular use. At that point, the checkmark in the task is gone.

Maintenance :: Deleted Maintenance Tasks In Task Scheduler

I deleted maintenance tasks in task scheduler (Microsoft>windows>task scheduler) because I didn't want to have automatic maintenance fire up when I'm working, but sadly... some shit got messed up. My computer starts using hdd at 100% if left idle, and then freezes and all kinds of weird crap that I'm almost positive have to do with me deleting maintenance.

which tasks do I need to re-create in task scheduler in order to have auto-maintenance once again. If you could just read to me all the tasks, triggers, and which programs they are running .

Maintenance :: Recreate Regular And Idle Maintenance Tasks?

Sep 15, 2014

I had the idle & regular maintenance tasks disabled but they always re-enabled themselves. In a fit of madness I ended up deleting them but now when I open a folder with videos or images the thumbnails always display in a slow staggered way every time from left to right, If I then exit the folder & go back in they do the same again. It's almost like they are not being cached at all & are having to be redrawn every time.

The only change I have made to my system is remove Comodo firewall & install Private Firewall & delete the idle & regular maintenance tasks.
