to fillup fillup based on what arc1020 stated "If you added properties using a program other than Windows, you should remove those properties using that program. The Remove Properties dialog box removes properties that were added using Windows, but it might not be able to remove all properties...

with regard to the Warning: "WarningDO NOT take ownership of the Windows 8 C: drive. Doing so, could result in Windows 8 becoming very unstable." Is it simply fair to say that the "Administrators" should have ownership of the drive where Windows 8 is installed; eg; C: thank you

I am having problems with Windows Upgrade installing update files (eg, daily Windows Defender updates). The primary concern is an inability of the PC to 'install' new updates after automatically downloading the updates online. The Task Scheduler "Tab" settings I am asking for are: Task...

My PC is and was working well, except for one recent issue of trying to install a driver for an older HP printer. Prior to the issue with the printer driver, I *have changed some permissions and/or ownership on some files and even some folders, *but seemingly without any negative results. Even...

just what I needed; ie, the Advanced Options shortcut...! after asking w8 to create a USB Recovery Drive I decided to test it before having to use it. I reconfigured settings in the UEFI to dis-able 'Secure Boot' by *not choosing W8 as the OS but choosing rather "other OS". The USB Recovery...

WCarp, ms t/s and c/s run hot and cold, 50-50. some are good; some are not. there are so many things inter-related in any OS incl. W8, it is often hard to say unless one has already encountered the issue. your current issue seems unique in that regard. like it or not, one has to be...

FatBoy Response #2 obviously something is waking up your PC. In Power Options\Sleep\Hibernate=NEVER ?. Unless you like Hibernation, select Never as your data entry. How do you put your PC in Sleep at the end of your day? Do you use a Power Button on your case, W8 Charms\Settings\Power\Sleep ...
