Live tiles can't communiate So I had 3 live tiles running, Weather, Stocks, something else. I noticed this morning that they were still displaying yesterdays information. When I opened up the Weather tile it appeared to attempt to connect but never did. On the other tiles when I tried to open them up they automatically returned to minimized size. All other network activity works. The Microsoft store works. Rebooting did not help. Hmmmmmm.
same problem here....the mouse stays alive but the desktop will never respond. I think it is a problem with flash player. Windows 8 RP comes with a custom version of flash built by adobe. I installed another version of flash player for safari from adobe website and since then windows 8 started to hang irregularly. have you installed any version of flash or directx ??
I have the same issue but the other way. I use a old laptop and it's installing it's drivers for the mouse pad. After a few minutes or after a few hours of work my keyboard and mouse don't respond. When i hooked my logitech mouse/keyboard behind it the mouse and keyboard are working but the ones from the laptop are not. I uninstalled the Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad driver and everything is working fine without issue. All i am saying is it might be a driver that is causing a conflict.
for me , build 8400 will freeze and need to restart and runs scandisk. I was not having issue in 7, and think perhaps it may be a driver issue. Diabl03 was causing 7 to reboot but runs fine in build 8400.
Yup with/without synaptics still freeze, btw i noticed that happened when hdd shut down.... But someone other said is speedstep problem... And yes i had the problem with DP and CP too.
I was using Consumer Preview and made a fresh install of Release Preview. It seems that Windows 8 Release Preview look like Windows Vista 2.0. The system restore doesn´t work anymore. I was testing it but didn´t work. After making a fresh install, I installed Firefox 12 and Internet Download Manager 6.11 build 7. Than I created a system restore point. After 3 days I updated to Firefox 13 and updated the IDM to build 8. To test it, I tried a system restore but it couldn´t finish, because Firefox.exe and IDM.exe weren´t the same file, when I created the system restore point. My internal card reader worked fine with Consumer preview. But on Release Preview I plugged my card reader off, because shutting down my pc, I got winlogon.exe error. After unplugging it, no error. Enabling HIPS modules of antivirus don´t work anymore... (tried with Eset). The focus of the development of Windows 7 was speed, reliability and compatibility. But I think that now they work on appearance. I hope they change windows 8 or the users go back to Windows 7. I continue using Windows 8 Release Preview until RTM. If they don´t make changes, I go back to Windows 7.
Got a blue screen when I went shutting down Windows 8 while it was saving the state of a virtual machine. Better wait patiently next time. Further did I experienced games like WoW and Skyrim refusing to start saying it run a problem. The issue for this was the NVIDIA driver, it didn't boot properly because of the new boot system. Running a full restart fixed this problem.
i got a blue screen whilst I was using remoted desktop. was unusual in that it was a sad face on a blue screen. the error was:- dpc_watchog_violation
I love Windows 8 I've tested every release of Windows 8 from the Developers Preview all the way to this Release Preview. At first I would only install releases in a virtual machine on my desktop but now that I've had a chance to play with the Release Preview I decided to install it as the main OS on my netbook. I love Windows 8. It made my s**tty netbook so much faster. I have no problem with the Metro interface. All the programs I use the most are pinned to my taskbar and I use Metro for the apps. Before Windows 8 I rarely ever used my Start button. But now with Metro I finally have something to do with Start. It took me minutes to figure out Metro and now that I've been playing with it for so long I hate going back to my Windows 7 machines...lol. I can't wait for the official release so I can install Windows 8 on the rest of my machines.
Power8 Aplha IV Hello people! I can see some of you liked Power8 so that's for you. We released Power8 Alpha4 yesterday! http_//power8.googlecode.com/ This time it's 3-way search, and better layout on non-Aero systems. I suggest reading Feature Details page of Power8 wiki to get deeper understanding of Search feature. P8 should update automatically, but if not - use Download section of Power8 site.
