2 tabs, Adblock Plus, NoScript and Colorzilla........... 290MB used. Slow, hesitation between every site visited. Getting pretty impatient with it.

Been using StartIsBack for a long time now!

Don't run Metro apps!! :dinesh:

Security through obscurity........... we don't really want or need millions of newbs switching to Linux. Sometimes ya just gotta hear the hard truth. :dinesh: ETA: I dual boot 8.1 / Ubuntu 14.04.

I don't think it's registering with some about what you're saying! This thing isn't for me, but it's damn sure WAY more than just a silly tablet! Must be a mental block or something?!

Pretty sad. But I switched to Bitdefender a couple of weeks ago!

I was okay with the start screen and tiles. For awhile. Then just for something to do I tried out the different start button apps. I finally wound up paying $3 bucks for StartIsBack, just personal preference and it looked best to me.

Whatever it was, I just wiped and did a clean install. Like getting a new computer!!

So I woke my desktop from sleep, and there was no Start Screen! The Desktop wallpaper was showing, but no tiles, no anything. Desktop is fine, just no Start Screen. No tiles. No categories, no nothing. ???

^^^ This!! ^^^

Another vote for PDF-Xchange here. Been using it for a year or more and it's the best, hands-down.

No, about 3 weeks now and it sleeps on schedule every time.

After posting, i remembered that I have also installed the StartIsBack start button on my desktop, so that could also be the explanation.

I just wanted to post that after adding an account for my grand son, my computer sleeps every time now. I have no idea what that may add to the discussion, but I also could never get my Win 8 or 8.1 Pro to sleep automatically. Now it does.
