i found i could not activate telnet in windows features directly, i had to enable both telnet client and telnet server so that i could enable it
Not a bug in Windows 8.1 itself, but a driver issue I thought i'd share. My laptop has a broadcom wireless chipset in it and it worked fine out of the box on Windows 8, however it doesn't on Windows 8.1. It'll connect, it'll work at full speed, however every so often (very random) it'll drop internet and just sit at a Limited Access state, showing i'm still connected to wifi. I wont be able to access my router so it's obvious it's not even properly connected to my wifi at that point. Toggling airplane mode or reconnecting will always fix the issue, using the troubleshooter works too and it says the problem was "No default gateway" or something such as that. I was able to eventually fix it by hunting down some proper OEM drivers for Windows 8 and installing those on Windows 8.1, which seems to have fixed my problem. Weird! Windows 8.1 drivers are from May 2013 whereas my "fixed" drivers are from March 2012.
AFAIK, you should get every second Tuesday of Month. So, you can expect it starting from 2nd Tuesday of Sep 2013. Correct me if I am wrong
everything on my end gaming wise is 100% perfect and all apps work app programs i use also work and avast 9.0 is working as well. now as for speed all my hardware is 100% working i have full direct x 11.2 able drivers installed for my 7970 and getting much better fps in games then 7 or 8
Is anyone experiencing flicker issue on desktop? I've been experiencing this after I put my taskbar on left side then refresh the desktop? Is there a fix on this? It is very noticeable when the wallpaper is dark btw the flicker goes away when I put the taskbar on bottom
Two words - What Bugs? Not an issue I've had - in 8 or 8.1. Running NVidia Forceware 326.80 (latest/current beta) on 8.1 Pro RTM (unregistered due to lack of retail Pro key). Application peformance - better in every aspect than 8 (which was itself better than 7). The only reason to use a browser other than IE now is site-specific issues (MEGA, for example, is purposely IE-hostile). Sites on Facebook that had Flash-related issues with 8 don't with 8.1 - IE smacks Chrome around with a trout performance-wise in 8.1 as well (latest Chrome vs. IE).
I tested also on Windows 8 and 8.1. I have 2 SSD to switch and compare and they experiencing the same problem. I'm sure it's not the monitor 'cause I tested it on using on PS3 and those flicker don't exist.. I'm confused also 'cause the onboard gpu and discrete GPU 650ti have the same flicker. Even I changed the cable- vga cable they exist and the more confusing is I tried it on other monitor and it doesn't flicker... so the suspect is the monitor? I dunno I don't experience it now when the taskbar is on the bottom btw I'm using 326.80 too
Where are these drivers from? Last I heard, AMD reported they were going to release drivers that offered 11.2 support, but haven't actually heard anything about the drivers releasing...
Windows 8.1 RTM is nowhere near problem-free. Just got halfway copying over a 110GB Norton Ghost image file of my Windows 7 build to my Western Digital Passport 2TB external hard drive... During the middle of the transfer, the copy suddenly stopped. I looked into File Explorer, Windows could not recognize ANY of my attached and internal drives: 1) Seagate 1TB 2) WD Elements 3) Another Seagate 2TB with Windows 7 installed on it I went to open all of them up, only to be faced with this error: "The filesystem of this device is corrupted or unreadable"... not exact words, but similar in that nature. I can't boot up my External hard drive that had WinPE and image files anymore... I can't boot into my SSD without getting a blue screen error and Windows trying (more like failing) to do it's automatic repair. My Windows 7 drive no longer boots or can be read anymore.. Omg Windows 8.1 did something to my drives and I'm mad as ever right now. I know nothing else could have possibly happened. I was just copying files over, on a fresh install, no apps installed, not even tweaked personal yet. Windows 8.1 just corrupted all my working drives, some with encryption and now I can't get anything off of them!!! WINDOW 8.1 RTM CLEARLY NOT SAFE TO USE DAY TO DAY. Or maybe I encountered a rare bug with Windows 8.1. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else! I'm waiting for them to release the stable version in October..
That does sound like a rather nasty issue; could it be your USB port couldn't handle it? What USB port were you using to transfer (2.0 or 3.0)? What spec does the HDD support over USB (2.0 or 3.0)? Using the generic USB drivers that come with Windows 8.1, or OEM? Was the WD drive the only external? Did you have 3 separate internal HDDs, or multiple partitions? Just trying to gather up some information
USB Microphones (no driver) are still too quiet in Windows 8.1 as compared to Windows 7. This is an unresolved issue from Windows 8 and it hasn't been adressed yet. You have to switch to like 90-95% Volume to get the same results as in Windows 7. (50-55%) This is a fact and no issue which can be solved by "Mic-Boost" (which isn't even available and wasn't in W7 either) There are a few threads about that in technet, too, but they don't care.
The Surface Pro's constant "Limited Connectivity" issue is back for me. I think this was an issue in older 8.1 builds too, but I didn't use them full-time to know how bad it is. Also, not quite a bug, but between 9471 and RTM, they blocked Miracast capability on the Pro. It worked perfectly before, now DXdiag shows "Miracast: Not Supported by Wifi Driver".
