I don't think people realize how little of 64-bit OSs actually use 64-bit programs. I personally use 64-bit programs because dism often requires it to service 64-bit OS, but most people don't. For most of the people who use 64-bit, I bet you could swap their OS with a 32-bit version and they'd never notice.
Why install a language pack in wu search again Update 1 patch over 800mb (en windows 8.1 64 enterprise refresh) - before i install a language pack in the wu is just over 120mb update?
Couldn't understand the "128 bit" rumor, why should MS develope an OS that couldn't run on any of the chip in market?
well finally another person with the same thing! lol, however, I experienced this right from windows 8.0, I tried 8.1, the new update, always the same, I can hear the drive actually "producing" the icons, if that makes sense. I went back to 7 and tried that, and it never happened, I don't know maybe something to do with indexing or something
lol, I dunno, its only a wd caviar blue 500gb, but I had the problem ever since the early 8.0 days, like its processing each file every time I access the partition
Yes it happens more than what is comfortable. Two issues that I have seen with 8.1 u1: (a) desktop and icons not clickable/respondable for like 1-15 secs on startup (b) occassional green progress bar when I click my computer and want to see all partitions. Have learnt to live with it since this happens only when windows starts up. After that it works fine.
Same problem here desktop will freeze for like 15 seconds during startup and after that everything works fine, it happens only after installing this update. Problem persists even after clean install.
My laptop is 1 year old Dell inspiron 15r and Update means Windows 8.1 with update. I tried both ways with clean install and from windows update but the result is same.
if i install the ISO and use VL KMS 180 days activation, and later get hold of an upgrade retail key, can i use it without reinstalling?
Update 1 is like a Service Pack, it contains all previously released windows updates (including Rollup A, of course)
Will I have the same effect after installation windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4048528.iso with ei.cfg (below) to installation of untouched windows_8.1_professional_vl_with_update_x64_dvd _4050466.iso?
After installing a Volume Key a Retail System will become a Volume one. Only a little difference in auto reactivation against a real KMS Host . As i would assume an Emulator (i.e. MTK or KMSpico) will be used, it will make no difference.
There was a mouse lag problem when using high polling mices in Windows 8.1 There was a patch (KB2908279) that was supposed to solve it Is it solved in Windows 8.1 with Update?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes but you still would have to add the various games to the registry that are still problematic.
