    Got my Surface 3 today and logged in using my Microsoft Account. I have my other Windows 8.1 systems set up to sync passwords, however none of my passwords from Credential Manager have been added to my new Surface 3. Everything else from my desktop - Internet favorites, lockscreen, wallpaper...

    "Play To" option missing in Windows 8.1

    Yeah. I had to add the device first, then the Play To option was available on Right Click context menus. On Windows 7 it wasn't necessary to add the device to the PC, the option would be available if a DLNA client was found on the network.

    "Play To" option missing in Windows 8.1

    I've noticed that I no longer have the Play To option for media files on my Windows 8.1 machine. I have 2 digital media renderers active on my network, a WDTV Live and an Xbox 360. Both of these devices are visible on the network from the Windows 8.1 machine. On 4 other Windows 7 systems in my...

    Windows 8.1 refuses to sleep

    I have also had this problem on my Desktop ever since I installed Windows 8.1. I have a Realtek Ethernet adapter and I have noticed that the PC will go to sleep if the adapter is disabled or if the Ethernet cable is unplugged. Disabling IPv6 does nothing, and I am not part of a Homegroup...

I then disabled the controller in the BIOS, restarted, scanned for hardware changes, restarted and enabled the controller and now the USB controller isn't listed at all, even when Hidden Devices are enabled.

    VIA USB 3.0 Controller stopped working, now hidden device

    Tried reinstalling Drivers, it says it doesn't detect the hardware installed on the system and won't continue. Windows reports that the device had been disconnected from the system. I did a System Restore and it worked again. Today I tried installing updates again to see if it happened again...

    VIA USB 3.0 Controller stopped working, now hidden device

    This evening I went to use by portable USB drive and noticed it wouldn't work. I tried another port and it still didn't work. I then tried another device on the same ports and it also did not work. I opened up device manager and saw that my VIA USB xHCI controller was no longer listed under USB...

    "Optimization not available" for SSD.

    Ok, basically I was wondering if this was normal behavior and from your reply it sounds like it is for this drive. From what I can see TRIM is enabled on the system via checking Disabledeletenotify = 0 and AS SSD benchmark. I just wanted to make sure this behavior was normal, as the SSD on my...

    Hard drive activity, long delay when going to sleep

    Hi, I noticed an issue with my PC earlier this morning. I always put my desktop into S3 sleep when not in use, normally this happens almost instantly, but now it takes 10+ seconds after the monitor goes black before the system actually powers down. I had been using Windows 7, but a week ago I...
