    Solved Dism online restore health function gets error 0x80240021

    Edit: I ran into the same error. I've tried everything usual but nothing worked. It appeared it was Windows update the culprit. I looked for "troubleshooter" then "Windows Update". Started the thing... Windows asked to troubleshoot in admin mode... I said yes... Then Windows fixed Windows update...

    Windows 8.1 refuses to sleep

    Of course it needs a clean install! Don't throw your current Windows yet or you will be sorry! I run both OS. On a positive note, for a preview, it is surprisingly stable!

    Windows 8.1 refuses to sleep

    Last week, for the first time since a long time, I've experienced that sleep issue (nothing with powercfg /requests). It's bizarre and it seemed to be related to Chrome. Once I've closed Chrome, my PC went to sleep.... I'm totally clueless about that, it never happened before. I know that Chrome...

    Windows 8.1 refuses to sleep

    Well, you guys had very interesting point of view! xD I didn't see it that way... For my part, I've experienced the issue when I first updated through the store last november, so I went here to find an answer. After that, I've clean installed 8.1 from scratch without any sync whatsoever and the...
