    Windows 8.1 will not boot to user sign-in screen

    Meanwhile a download website called "Fosshub" just got hacked and a virus was put out to kill MBR boot records.. ha.. don't mean to scare you but it's just quite odd that happened very recently.. ha. and the reason this is funny is because it doesn't affect GPT partitions apparently.. or UEFI...

    is it possible to change disk 0 to 1?

    My C: windows is somehow installed disk 1.. and my little m.2 card is somehow disk 0... but windows main drive is disk 1.. shouldn't it be disk 0?

    group thumbnail previews but not the taskbar elements

    I don't understand what you mean. When I right click the windows you show in your first picture.. I get "move".. But I don't think this is what you want to do.. I think you'll have to continue looking through all the taskbar options.. also try clicking things and holding Ctrl, or Alt, and...

    Windows 8.1 will not boot to user sign-in screen

    I remember when I was installing windows It was a bit difficult to finally figure out to make sure I was using UEFI and installing that way.. I think I remember I even had to go into my Bios and reset the "secure" boot settings etc.. then finally I saw the "UEFI USB" and it installed the...

    Is Windows 8.1 more stable than 10 at this point?

    Why don't you just use Windows 8 till you get a new laptop.. then of course with the new computer, you are forced to windows 10. Isn't windows Defender in windows 8.1 right now? I sure have it installed.. anyway I'm just saying Microshitty rubbish didn't need to PUSH windows 10 on older...

    Cause of .NET Framework needed popup?

    ha.. ok but you still need to know what program is initiating that pop up.. and there are plenty of "false" pop-ups and they would be especially for something like framework or actually even virus signatures.. the point is.. I don't know how deep into scary territory you've been on the...

    Windows 8.1 will not boot to user sign-in screen

    ok.. but just so you know .. and it usually is nice for you to use features like UEFI which I believe should be on a GPT partition.. so unfortunately if you feel like it, you may wanna reinstall using GPT and UEFI haha.. You probably don't need it if you are being safe with your computer...

    Cause of .NET Framework needed popup?

    yeah.. I never have seen any pop in my life about installing framework... but I don't know what programs you have installed also... but it's still unusual.. the only pop-up's I get are "your virus protection is out of date"... and I always tell my computer to "shut up" out loud in the...

    Is Windows 8.1 more stable than 10 at this point?

    Until there is a need for windows 10, as in when They totally disable windows 8.1... then I'll go to windows 10. Also basically when I buy a new computer I'm forced into Windows 10 anyway.. but I'm absolutely not just going to throw on Windows 10 just becuase Microsoft came out with a new...

    Solved Windows Search

    Maybe you already did this, and I know Microsoft is a pain in the ass, but, have you emailed Microsoft help forum with how the hell to reinstall Windows search after you disable it like you did? You would have to tell them exactly how you disabled it. but I know, it's Microshaft when it...

    group thumbnail previews but not the taskbar elements

    I don't have the final answer but all I can think is to right click on those windows and see if "move" or options show up.. but maybe you are asking for something they didn't incorporate into windows..
