    MTP devices do not work, since Media files are missing.

    Just tried hooking up my Nexus 7 to my desktop to transfer files, and the MTP driver does not exist.

    I understand you, but thing is I do not need wmp and whatever, I've chosen N version with good reason. Maybe just a file missing and updates will solve the problem?

    problem is lack of media Foundation that is needed for wei to work anyway if you use vlc or foobar 2000 you dont need it but some progs do like media monkey and others so enterprise N could be annoying

    Well, always the option for use a 3rd Party media player is always useful.

    Of Course, I have been using VLC therefore I do not need Windows Media Player. I guess Windows experience index problem will be solved once the updates are coming from oct 26, but also feels like unfinished Windows.

    Being able to choose your media player is indeed a nice feature, but there are some things that rely on the existence of some media player/foundation core files. Some examples are:

    - EVR in MPC
    - Saints Row: The Third in DX10/11
    - Warriors Orochi (probably other KOEI games)
    - Certain Android devices use MTP for file transfers instead of USB Mass Storage (notably, newer devices and Android OS's)

    In some cases you can just find some .dll's and throw them in the application's folder though. Some things (like MTP) aren't fixable from what it seems though.

    This is something i found while trying to take a system image backup using the Windows 7 File Recovery Tool in Control Panel of Win 8 Ent N x64 RTM. When one tries to create a system image , then an error pops up that there is insufficient space on your drive for the system image. This error is linked to the size of the System Drive (the extra drive other than C: Drive seen in Computer->Manage->Disk Management). Basically the System Drive should have atleast 50 MB free out of 100MB for successful creation of the system image in Win 8. But my System Drive showed some 30% of the drive free...so i googled and found the solution as follows (this also used to happen in Win 7):

    1- Start>Run>diskmgmt.msc

    2- Right click on the System Reserved volume ( or partition ) and give it a letter ( I've used the letter Z )

    3- Start>Run>cmd

    4- Fsutil usn queryjournal Z:

    5- fsutil usn deletejournal /N /D Z:

    6- Create the System Image Backup again

    7- Repeat the steps 1 and 2 and REMOVE the letter from the System Reserved.

    This deletes the content related to USN Journal from your system drive and gives an additional 30-40 MB space free.
    I dont know what the USN Journal content is (might be related to the journalling file system or something like that)

    But the above procedure does solve the problem of taking the system backup.

    Hope this helps someone.....

    Robocopy is broken in windows 8. It flags all files as "modified" even when they are not :(

    It's a pity, I liked robocopy a lot! :(

    I'll have to find an alternative...
