How many gamers on Steam do we have here on Eight Forums? :cool:

Any TF2 players here? What are your thoughts on the recent Love and War update?

I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or not, but I just finished installing that huge update to Windows 8.1 (~950MB) and now, for some reason, CPU intensive tasks seems a lot quicker. I've also noticed that gaming is smoother since the update. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just...

I've enjoyed Windows 8 since the very first day Microsoft released the first development build to the public. I really do hope they continue this path. I'm not one of the sheep that read Windows 8 hate articles that focus only on the start screen and instantly jump on board. I'm a user. I have...

As title suggests, what power plan do you normally use on Windows 8? Do you switch between power plans depending on the situation at hand? I run Balanced most of the time, since my AMD CPU has Cool'N'Quiet technology, then switch over to High Performance when gaming.

Do you use the built-in Windows Optimize Drivers (Disk Defrag) or do you use a third party product? If third party product, which product and why?

Just a poll to see how people have their MAPS option set within Windows Defender. Do you have it not joined, Basic or Advanced?

A few months after official retail release and I am still enjoying Windows 8 like I was on the very first day of the Developer Preview. I hope Microsoft continues with this path as the performance, speed, reliability and usability in Windows 8 far exceeds any other version of Windows for me. :)

In prior versions of Windows with MSE, there was an option for Default Actions. Is there such a thing in Defender on how we can set it up to handle different actions for different levels of threats?

In reference to this thread here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8450-windows-defender-cascading-desktop-context-menu-create-windows-8-a.html Is there a way to get a context menu to scan individual files and/or folders like MSE does in Windows 7 and prior?

Just trying to figure out an issue where my WD isn't updating definitions, even though following the security portal here: Get the latest definitions - Microsoft Malware Protection Center There are often times where I notice half a dozen updates being posted throughout the day, yet neither WD...

Topic. ^^ How is your Windows 8 experience going so far? Myself, I am greatly enjoying it. :)

Has anyone been able to successfully get the 12.3 Catalyst installed at all? I manged to get the SB package working for my chipset drivers, but the CCC package gets stuck on "Enumerating source media for installable packages" and doesn't go any further than that, but according to TM the setup...

Just curious, because I prefer MSE over Defender due to the fact that MSE provides a lot more information on it's UI and it also gives a notification area icon and right-click scan menu option...all three of which Defender doesn't offer/do.
