    For me windows mail is all over and is the main culprit for downgrading the Reliability monitor score!:mad:

    nice, I am considering to make some kind of the stats... :)

    1. FileManager.exe (Metro SkyDrive)
    BTW: Is there any way to have SkyDrive tray icon showing file-sync in W8-1?
    2. Adobe Creative Cloud (It is better to don't run this one, it is like triggered Atomic.) :)

    Windows never does a full defrag since vista, not even with the -w switch. Defraggler IS slow, but at least it does the full job. The only better option would be using the XP disk defragmenter, if it was possible without keeping a whole XP install around.

    Windows search has sucked for awhile, explorer has a tendency to freeze occasionally (although i think my hdd is failing as of literally right now), usb3 (especially with explorer) is hit or miss on different pcs, and firefox has an occasional black bar about 10 lines big randomly in the window.

    One thing i noticed is when you disable the Windows Search service, it will cause several Metro apps to crash but the crash reports will never tell you that they actually need this service :rolleyes:
