I had a quick look for hardware problems and all I can see that may be an issue is everything in BIOS and windows is set for efi fast boot but the machine had a 660 gtx with non efi BIOS? I wonder if that is the problem. I can see it is probably the cause of the many people i found googling how...

Couldn't remove the rapid storage driver, just the ui! Re installed windows with just the chip set drivers. Which is how it is going to remain.

This has happened to me on Widows 7 twice, for no reason just random! First time it solved itself, server problem. Second time I emailed Microsoft and they gave me a new key (both keys work now :)

cheers all, Everything used to create them on the laptop and now I havnt seen one since re installing my DESKTOP? It has to be probably the most bizarre Windows experience I have seen. When I do a fresh install I use the 8.1 home disk from the laptop, then add features (only way I can get my...

Hi, it's literally everything you do. But it doesn't effect performance. Example I just opened the Weather app and got 94 "The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} and APPID...

Okay, this isn't a problem but I really cannot work it out. Happily had a Windows 8.1 pro desktop. Bought a laptop with 8.1 on also. Both work fine, except everything you do on the laptop creates dcom 10016 clsid permission errors, hundreds a day. No ill effects so I have lived with it. I just...

just hope it doesn't un activate! Skydrive and skype still filling event log with errors....

I did try the telephone activation but after I entered the numbers it said invalid connecting you to an operator then hung up! Maybe that did it?

it was 7 which I updated to 8. Prior to this I had to update to 8.1 via the store. This time I used my laptops windows 8.1 standard version media. my key wouldn't work (said it was blocked) however it let me enter it in the add features box. on reboot the activation window vanished. I then...

yeah, I just can't see how that activated it?

Not sure how it worked, I pressed add features to windows entered my 8 keys and it activated? So it, upgraded my windows 8.1 to 8.1 pro with my windows 7 key.... Just to explain? just added my media centre key and that worked too

well, got fed up and clean re installed both pc's, then re installed my software. Then a please activate windows pop up appears. It appears with my key I have to install windows 8 then upgrade from the store. Put the car purchase on hold and ordered a pair of Mac's. I have used every windows...

thanks so much!

Hello, losing the will to live with windows 8. I have windows 8.1 pro on my desktop and windows 8.1 on my laptop, after trying to sort out various skydrive bugs, giving up and installing Google drive I changed my microsoft master password and whenever I start the laptop it says 'wrong password'...

Well spotted! I thought it was part of the operating system. thanks

Hi, I have windows 8.1 on my desktop and laptop, once a day I get skype stopped responding and was closed messages in action center, event log report wwahost hang. I never actually use skype, however, if I launch it it works fine? Anyway I can disable this un-needed buggy bloat? cheers

For anyone googling it's a folder permission bug on the document folder in the application only. As skydrive. Com works I can't imagine it will a fast fix. If you change permission manually it will stay until a restart. Hibernate doesn’t effect it

Only with retail version

Hi guys, tearing my hair out here. I have windows 8.1 pro on my desktop. I travel about so bought a laptop with Windows 8.1 on, bought a year's office 365 after finding I can only download my 2010 office to one pc. Everything was great until I reinstalled windows without bloat on the laptop...
