Oct 21, 2013Have just downloaded Windows 8.1. Although IE11 on desktop snaps open, and Google shows up OK, searches for simple things like Zone Alarm or Avast anti-virus say can't be connected despite trouble shooter saying the net is configured OK. In fact no searches seem to work through Google.
Direct links to various web sites like Java work OK which confirms the net is set up right.
Are there known issues with Google and Microsoft?
Maintenance :: System Image Backup And Secure Boot Isn't Configured Correctly
Oct 21, 2013Windows 8.1 64 bit pc48 GB RamIntel i7 - 3960X CPUBoxxTech ComputerDrive C: SSD - 446 GB
When I first got my new personal computer in January, I created a System Image using Microsoft's utility. I typically use Acronis for my backups, but after major changes, I use both Microsoft and Acronis.
Now, I am attempting to complete a System Image Backup using Microsoft's utility so that I can fix my SecureBoot concern, knowing that I have a safety net in place. Unfortunately, I am unable to complete a backup. BoxxTech suggests that I use Microsoft's utility.
I begin with the File History in the Control Panel as shown below. Note, that I have plenty of room on my FreeAgent F Drive (standalone USB drive). Yet, Microsoft's utility believes otherwise.
Only the three items that shown to be selected are selected. In other words, there are no other drives or partitions off-screen that are selected.
Thinking that it might be a problem with my external USB hard drive, I look at using one of my internal drives, T.
I get the same error message as shown earlier.
why I am unable to back-up my personal computer using Windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 Desktop Watermark SecureBoot?
Nov 24, 2013Past Friday windows 8.1 ran some updates and I think it's since then the watermark with SecureBoot disappeared from my desktop.
I tried to remove this watermark before with my friend; My2cents. But we couldn't remove it because I had not eufi boot control panel. He told me he would provide a workaround to remove the thing and now it's solved.
UEFI / Secureboot Preventing Linux Bootup - Will Windows 8.1 Work After Removing It
Apr 30, 2014Okay now I have an issue with windows, namely secureboot and UEFI. HP Pavilion laptop that came preinstalled with windows 8.1 but didnt like it and wanted a dual boot.
So I gave him Ubuntu 13.10 as it has UEFI support and everything was fine until we updated to Ubuntu 14.04. Sadly it did not load windows via grub and windows would fail to boot.
However after repairing the windows boot manager I knew I had to reinstall linux which would normally be fine but now windows and windows alone now boots, no grub, no nothing.
I heard recently of this story: [URL] ....
However I checked everything and windows seems to be the cause of my woes. As does UEFI. Now we would like to keep windows on this machine however I am thinking of removing the /efi partition
Will windows 8 still work if I do this?

Windows And Icons Not Moving Correctly?
Mar 17, 2014On one of my systems that was recently installed. I'm having this strange issue with dragging windows around on the screen. I open up a Word doc, IE window, other application, doesn't really seem to matter. When I grab the window with the mouse to move it, it will sometimes move just a inch and then it stops letting me grab it. I have to click 4-7 times to get windows to let me grab the window again, sometimes I have to switch to another app and then switch back. This also happens with just moving windows around on the desktop, it will sometimes let me move it 2-3" and then I just loose the grip
A smaller problem I see, is when I click the X on some windows to close them, sometimes it takes 2-3 clicks before it takes affect. Again, the problem isn't 100% of the time, more like 50/50
I've tried fiddling with the various windows settings, tried a new mouse, different USB ports, different video card, drivers..etc..etc. I just can't figure out what is interrupting my mouse dragging. It's a Wired Logitech 518 mouse
Windows 8 Explorer Fails To Restart Correctly
Nov 16, 2013I keep experiencing increasing memory usage by Windows Explorer. Most frequently when moving files, or if I use the "Open containing folder" for a file playing in Foobar. It takes several of these to amount to an actual increase but that's only a minor annoyance.
The real problem is that, after opening task manager and selecting to restart explorer, it quite frequently acts as if it has restarted (explorer.exe appearing in the program list), but does not actually load. No desktop, no icons, no start button (I use classic shell), no charms menu, and the windows button to return to the start screen does nothing. All I get is the system clock and the few icons next to it. The problem continues even if you continually restart, until it randomly corrects itself. Could take 1 additional restart, could take 15-20.
This is majorly problematic and annoying, google turns up nothing, and I'm honestly starting to wonder if there's just something wrong with my computer. There's already a hardware problem in that my webcam has an internal disconnect and the display itself has vertical lines randomly appearing, which I am settling with HP, but there are no other noticeable problems.
Windows 8.1 Fails To Run Correctly After Application Close
Aug 11, 2014I am running the latest edition of Windows 8.1 and have recently run into some problems. I have the Steam Gaming client installed on my system with a few games, one of which is Team Fortress 2. However, after I close certain games, that might run in fullscreen, and some don't like Minecraft, I can't open any other programs. Not task manager, I can't even shut down my PC. It's not just Steam items.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows 8.1 - Icons Won't Change Correctly Despite Numerous Attempts
Mar 23, 2014I have been using Stardock's IconPackager for a while, and after a lack of updates with that, it has eventually stopped working with most of the main icons within Windows 8.1.
I have followed many tutorials and have used RegEdit to change the icons, and have checked them with their 64 bit counterparts as well, and I have even edited both imageres.dlls.
So, now I am stumped as to what could possible be stopping this from working.
The empty folder works fine, but once something gets added in, then it breaks. I have triple checked imageres.dll and the front / back / open / closed parts of the folder are changed correctly in both of the dlls using Resource Hacker (also checked each dll with IconsExtract).
Is there another dll that "assists" Windows 8.1 with icon images?
This is slightly related to the whole buggy icon image problem, but for some reason when I go to a folder that is in my Downloads folder, then the icon is shown on the This PC area in the navigation pane (I did remove the other folders from This PC and just left the drive folders using RegEdit), and the icon thati s displayed is wrong.
Windows Program File Association Settings Not Working Correctly?
May 31, 2014I recently found many application would not save to correct type. Some software icons would come out to a blank or white block, but those software actually there. For example, realrecorder is running, it would come out a white block on taskbar on bottom. I tried use 'access and program default' in control panel, still not fix the issue. Ms word, and word pad also come out white blank icon.

Mar 22, 2014Whenever I open a folder with more than a couple of icons it takes about 10 seconds for the icons to appear correctly. Sometimes some icons won't even display the way they should even after those 10 seconds, it's just a generic blank icon.
Is there a way of correcting this?
My Windows is the 8.1 Pro 32-bit (6.3, build 9600).

SSD Space Not Being Shown Correctly?
Nov 16, 2012I just installed a pretty clean install of Windows 8 Pro (I used the upgrade, but I did the upgrade immediately over top of a clean windows 7 install). It is installed on an intel SSD. I haven't installed any applications or added any documents, or files. However, when I go to file explorer and right click on my drive it shows that I've used 69GB of space on the SSD! That's after doing disk cleanup and removing the previous windows files and temporary upgrade files. I couldn't believe Windows was taking up 69GB, so I investigated further. If I select the drive in file explorer and then select every folder displayed, and then right click and select properties, then it only comes up as about 13GB. Is there a known problem with Windows 8 computing space useage on SSD drives?

Dec 3, 2013So this morning my dad went to power off his ASUS K55N Notebook, and it didn't turn off correctly, the screen went black, but the system stayed powered on (had to perform a hard shutdown). He didn't perform any Windows Update(s) or install new drivers prior to this, he didn't change anything, and just now it did the same thing.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow To Correctly Generate LangINI By DISM
Oct 14, 2014I am trying to generate LangINI for:
1. Boot.WIM,
2. Install.WIM,
3. WinRE.WIM (inside Install.WIM)
4. and maybe for main distribution tree (burned into ISO).
Directories (with time chronology of their creation):
ISO is extracted to C:ISO
Boot.WIM is mounted to C:Mount
Install.WIM is mounted to C:Mount (after Boot.WIM is unmounted)
While Install.WIM is mounted, the WinRE.WIM is mounted to C:WinRE
Is this below correct? (after LP are added)
Boot.WIM:
dism /image:C:mount /Gen-LangINI /distribution:C:mount
WinRE.WIM:
dism /image:C:winre /Gen-LangINI /distribution:C:winre
Install.WIM:
dism /image:C:mount /Gen-LangINI /Distribution:C:ISO
dism /image:C:mount /Gen-LangINI /Distribution:C:mount
(both?)
My doubts:
A. I don't believe it, because unpacked WIMs have directories like "Program Files" "Windows"... so "sources" (generated by /Gen-LangINI) directory looks inappropriate. IMHO distribution shouln'd be same as mounting point, but I just mounted vendor's boot.wim it ALSO has Program Files", "Windows"... AND "sources" inside.
B. Also I am not sure about those two commands in Install.WIM. Isn't it overkill

Win 8.1 PDFs Not Loading Or Downloading / Emailing Correctly?
Jun 13, 2014This is any browser; Opera , IE, Chrome....all updated, Adobe Reader updated today, Chrome updated to 36 today...
PDFs that are supposed to be emailed, via a button on a webpage, come to me unopenable, and if downloaded, are unable to be loaded due to some format issue.
I tested the same functions on a Win XP laptop, with same Chrome and Adobe Reader version. It worked fine, on the same network and ISP.
WHAT is it about 8.1 that precludes anything from getting PDFs down in one readable piece?
File Explorer Not Working Correctly With 8.1 Update
Apr 20, 2014Yesterday, while using File Explorer a problem occurred. I had a CD open showing files on the CD and I had a folder open (that is on my desktop) and was copying files from the CD to the desktop folder. I am not sure what I may have done, but after closing the File Explorer, it is no longer working correctly. When I left click on the folder icon on the taskbar on my desktop nothing is shown on my desktop. The taskbar icon shows that File Explorer is open and if I hover my cursor over it, a 'mini' is shown (just above the taskbar) of what is open, but will not expand to view on the desktop, just shows the 'open' page above the taskbar. If I open WORD or some other program and try to 'saveas' the files are shown and I can save the document. I down loaded a "file manager" from the Microsoft Store so I can get at and work with files, but I am not able to use the Win 8 File Explorer. I have done a normal shutdown and restart, but still have the problem. I tried to do a system restore, but the restore would not complete. (suggested I turn off antivirus).

Setup Installation :: How To RESTORE System Image CORRECTLY
Dec 8, 2013Here is my situation:
-I have now installed and using two sata hard drive (Drive C "500GB" for OS and other programs and Drive D "1TB" for Games and other Documents)
-I also have SYSTEM IMAGE created before and saved it on my external hard drive.
Now I want to RESTORE that SYSTEM IMAGE saved on my external hard drive to the Drive C "500GB"
My asking is HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY:
>Should I disconnect/unplug the SATA Cable for the Drive D 1TB before I proceed with the system image restore?
(By the way I have no problem with the procedures on how to do the system image restore)
>OR is there a RISK if I just continue with the system image restore with both SATA CABLES for both HDD not removed?
