When I close "Communications Service" it always reopens.

Is it safe to end this process, or is it needed by windows, and if it's safe to end it how can I disable it for good?
The last days my laptop is not going to sleep when I close the lid; nothing happens. When I open the lid everything is still running.
I already tried a couple of things. I restored the laptop 5 days back, but no result. Also I closed the lid feature has sleep selected for both battery and plugged in.
I have about a week experience (pulled out some hair) with windows 8/8.1, but I consider myself pretty comfortable with Windows in general.
When my Windows 8.1 laptop is in sleep mode, I can wake it with a mere touch of my external bluetooth k/b without any issues, as long as the lid is opened. If I close the lid, I can continue to use it as its connected to a big Samsung plasma tv. But if I let the laptop go to sleep (or put it to sleep myself thru the menu), I am unable to wake it back; I need to pull it out from a/v furniture, open the lid and press the power button.
Is this a Windows 8 thing, an Acer Aspire thing, or worse it can't be done? Able to wake from sleep their Windows 8 laptop w/closed lid?
Most of the time when my laptop startup i got a BSO with DPC Watchdog. After a phew restarts I can login normally and nothing happens.
When i close the lid for a while and I come back my laptop also is restarted because of a BSOD. Check Logs?
Is there a way to make Windows 8 remember what screen you closed a program on and open it in that window? Right now, I have most of the stuff I open pinned to the task bar. How it opens now is what ever monitor I click on the program in, it opens it in that monitor. I understand the logic on that, but I was wondering if there was a way to make programs always open on a specific monitor. I.e. I always have outlook on my monitor clear to the left, visual studio in the middle, and my browser on the right. Is there a way to force those programs to always open on that monitor, regardless of which task bar I click on?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I am using hdmi as the single display, I am losing wireless when the lid is closed. Closing the lid is arranged to "do nothing" on both battery and plug. Wireless becomes:
- Not able to see any wireless networks except the only one chosen as " automatically connect" and it cannot connect to that either.
I got so upset, changed a few settings in adapter settings, messed stuff up, so had to install the OS again.
Is that something normal that wireless acts up when the lid is closed on hdmi display? It never did this without the hdmi.
Now I am using it with the lid open.
I am having an issue where, with my laptop lid closed because I use my monitor, when I reboot my laptop it never actually comes back on. If I remember to open the lid in advance, there is no issue.
I have my settings set that when my laptop lid is closed, nothing happens.
For the last few weeks, my taskbar has randomly restarted; that is, it disappeared for a few seconds, all the icons on it disappeared, then came back. Simultaneously, my wallpaper will disappear. This also happens when I try to
*Launch the File Explorer (D:)
*Launch Wolfram Mathematica in safe mode.
This is probably stupid, but I also feel this has something to do with java -- specifically, javaw.exe.
yesterday i tried to install a free copy of camtasia 8 the video showed a way so i can register the program free the way suggested was to go to c:/windows/system32/drivers/ect/ then try to change the security properties of the host file and add a states called everyone but isn't work for me so i canceled it, then i get a free user name and serial number from friend and register the program and working properly.

So then I have to hold the power button down to switch off in both casesI stupidly don't have any recovery option inplace and when I try and do a fresh reset or anything from Advanced system options it gets stuck on a blank screen because it can't reset properly.Also anytime I try and disable or uninstall drivers in device manager it will constantly say it's uninstalling or will go to not responding.

I tried using shexview-x64 and disabling custom options from shell integration, but didn't work.
I'm running on a Windows 8.1 OS, and recently it keeps getting BSODs before starting up/restarting, but it still manages to get into Windows, and it seems to run normally after that. The error message is something like PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (rtwlane.sys). I have uploaded a minidump file of the most recent BSOD on my OneDrive here.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHaving upgraded to 8.1 yesterday, the problems I have found thus far ae:
-Restarting the computer takes about 5 mins
-One of my two printers doesn't work
-Internet explorer 11 is constantly freezing, then stopping responding, then quitting and re-starting
Everything works OK but am wondering if all the various hacks I've done (Aero Glass, Start8 etc. etc.) are affecting it somehow. This normally wouldn't worry me too much but when installing Windows Updates normally one would see that shutdown message about 'installing updates xx%' and again at startup. After the word restarting (or shutting down) appears for a split second it's black screen throughout that process as if my graphics card is cut off before anything else, which I find odd.
Could of course be the fault of nVidia's latest driver I suppose. (314.22 WHQL). It isn't the video driver, rolled it back and still the same.
I just wondering but it is the second time my netbook has done this (in less than 4 months) but I have had to restart 2 times because of disk errors. Does this mean that my HDD is dying...

I am getting BSOD with irql_not_less_or_equal error after updating to Windows 8.1. The restarts occurred every few minutes.
My log is attached.
What is causing the error.
As my laptop was restarting I turn it off before it was finished restarting, now when I start it i won't stop going into recovery mode and restarting again without letting me do anything, I've tried going into safe mode by clicking f8 + shift and just f8, I also tried going into the boot by nothing works, it worked fine all the time never gave me any problem, I tried also to start it over with the windows 8 installation disk but it won't do nothing just keeps restarting , then it say it encountered a problem and is just getting some information an Ethan restarts again, I don't know what to do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been experiencing a BSOD after I attempt a restart (with the restart option) the computer but not when I shutdown and manually restart.
I also just had my first Kernel Data Inpage Error BSOD today when I woke up my computer from sleep.
My operating system is currently Windows 8.1 Pro x64
I'm experiencing a problem after installing Windows 8 on Dell Inspiron N7110.
When I leave my laptop on for a while, it restarts because of a blue screen with the error: 0x00000050; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
It only happens when the laptop isn't used but is still on. When I'm working on it this error doesn't occur.
I checked RAM and HDD with Dell Support Center PC Checkup (even RAM stress test) and it shows no errors. Besides the HDD is new, as my old one broke and Dell replaced it.
I updated all my drivers from Dell's Website, so they all supported by windows 8.
There is an icon that shows up at every start up.
It is a camera application for sure, but I couldn't find what it is neither from task manager/startup nor from programfiles/x86?
It shows as disconnected, therefore I can't start the application.
Open property page, special effect, snap shot, zoom, face tracking are all grayed out and the only option is exit.
I couldn't even make the icon bigger.Does this sound familiar?
It is a newly installed OS and probably hundred drivers and programs were installed in one day, so it is hard to figure out which one was that.
When I run setup I get this message:
"Something happened, We can't tell if your PC is ready to continue installing windows 8. Try restarting setup"
What can I do?
My PC has Windows 8 Pro 64 bits installed and when I open Computer folder or any other folder says "folder is empty" and Search process starts, showing the progress green bar but will never stop. I need to use Task Manager to stop the search.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got my new computer and I'm a fresh user of Windows 8. I'm happy and all I was just wondering if the system interrupts process is a normal process, should it be there at all ? It does no harm so far (I think), I just wasn't sure after reading up on it if the complaints were only because the process was usually a high %, or if the process itself is bad.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my Lenovo Lynx tablet.
I noticed today that the tablet gets very hot even when the screen is off. I looked at the Task Manager and saw that the CPU is constantly at 99% and a process called "System" is hovering around 70 to 75%. When I run Process Explorer, the two threads using the most CPU in that process are labeled "ntoskrnl.exe!EtwProviderEnabled+ox6e".
Here are the ones I've tried:
Disable the scheduled task called "ConfigNotification" located in Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > WindowsBackup. That task doesn't exist.Updated every driver that I could. No change.Waited. Over 12 hours and no change.Disabled Windows Defender. No change.Disabled Windows Search Indexer. No change.Disabled/Uninstalled all network drivers. No change.
The only things I've installed besides Windows and all its updates are Office 2013 and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. The last solution I've found is to reinstall Windows which I'd rather not do .
I am running Win 8.1 upgraded from 8. Every now and then all the icons on my taskbar start to disappear and it loses all functionality I can not click the start menu button or right click the taskbar.
I have to restart the process to get them back which doesn't worry me that much as I have written a program that makes it 2 clicks to restart it.
My desktop icons are still fine and my desktop wallpaper slide show still works, also I don't see anything regarding this in my event logs.
For Windows Vista/7, there was a very useful Tool called "Prio", with which one could set and save the priority of a process directly inside the Task Manager. But now in Windows 8, that Tool isn't working anymore, and there seem to be no alternatives either how it's possible to set the priority of a process permanently in Windows 8? Doesn't matter if by a Tool or by Coding, but is it possible somehow?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been having some issues with the system process using around 10-20 percent of my cpu lately. I gather that the general solution is to find a problematic driver using kernrate and process explorer, but I can't seem to find a version of kernrate that will work on 64 bit machines.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded my OS from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Everything runs smooth, after I have updated most drivers. My fps in games even increases a little (about 10) in general.
I don't hate metro so I haven't done much tweak to the system.
However when I play counter strike : GO, I have ping spikes going to 500 about every 10 minutes. Sometimes fps drops suddenly too. I believe it's some process causing the problem. But it lasts only like 3 seconds. When I tab out and open task manage to check the process I can't hunt it down. I didn't have the problem when I had windows 7.
