I am having problems with Win8.1. This weekend it started acting up (very slow to boot up and shutdown, and other issues). I also get an error message about files missing (one has to do with Chrome.exe, another with HP printer, and something like IPHLPAPI.DLL).
Looking at Task Manager I see there is a "LocalService (Network Restricted)" process that is use 80+% of CPU. There are four sub-items, I think it is DHCP that is the problem.
Anyway, I ran the System Restore process from Control Panel>Recovery and it says I need to install the Installation Disk or my Repair (or maybe it was "Restore") Disk. I made this disk a while back on a USB stick. So I put the USB stick in and Windows says the media is invalid or incorrect (something like that). I don't have a Win 8.1 install disk, it was a downloaded upgrade.
Now what? Maybe I should just upgrade to Win10 preview now.
