I had similar issues, I'll share some details that may help you. Experienced something like that with my Surface after removing Windows 10 and installing Windows 8.1 x64, CPU usage was high and remained high. I tried diff things, including diff drivers, got it to updates drivers automatically...

Tried diff things, nothing worked perhaps missed some details. Found some information on XDA developers (long thread), and they described this method stopped working; found another long thread where people described "it works" but you need to repeat every... 6 months or so, I don't remember...

During my testing, I was out of S mode, the stock Windows 8 coming with the official Surface is described as CORE, Windows 8 CORE. I had Windows 10 (diff builds) and then moved back to Windows 8.1 pro x64, but nothing worked as great and fast as the stock version, it was never identified as S...

Well... I just tried, and it didn't work :(

Did you have any luck with this? I've been searching ways to sideload apps now that the Windows Store is gone for W8, but nope, and everything points out to this: Windows 8 embedded Industry, as supposedly, there is no need for dev accounts. I'll try making some time to install this version of...

Any luck? 2024? Anyone tried this? (from the link above)

I'm not sure the specifics for every file you need, I mean, some may be on a fresh install, and some may appear only after specific updates. If you have access to another computer, or if the current one runs VirtualBox, you may try creating a virtual machine and proceed accordingly with a fresh...

On Windows 8.1 you should have the icon of an envelope. You can ignore it, or uninstall it using Windows App Boss (but you will not be able of installing it again because the Windows Store has been discontinued). I'm personally using eMClient as my default email program, there is a free version...

Not sure what's your exact goal. You can remove both Windows mail and Outlook (diff apps) via the classic uninstall using the control panel, or WindowsAppBoss to remove any metro app, that's for the apps at least. As for your Outlook account, if that's the goal, you can delete it (the account)...

Sure, easy. Open your bookmarks panel, I mean make it visible, yes, it will show on your right (this is what you want to change). Now, look at the title, it says "* Bookmarks" with a 5 star on the left of the text and a chevron sign pointing DOWN. This is a whole area button. Once you click...

Worth updating, why not? after all is knowledge for others too. First, forget about the swapfile.sys, you will go almost nuts trying to get rid of it, or the issues that come after somehow removing it. This is a SEPARATE file needed for universal apps. This means there is not just one...

Try autoruns https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_autoruns.html Create a restore point, then disable everything until you are left only with the bare minimum (many things load at startup) and see if it helps, this will remove any interference of third party programs being loaded...

Sorry. Recommended usual methods: 1. Restore from backup (first backup your data before changing anything drastically), hard lesson! 2. Reinstall

Hi, I will appreciate suggestions of decent (and fast) PDF apps, specially: - Compatible with Windows 8.1 - Ideally with pen/stylus compatibility - Speed is an important aspect I have worked many years with Adobe Acrobat Pro, but for annotations I honestly like XodoPDF (XodoDocs) and DrawBoard...

Sorry forgot... After reading a lot on the web, I found people explaining you actually need Policy editor to change some setting, and then you can sideload. But no luck for me. I've been trying with APPBOSS, this tool allows you to directly sideload (used it in the past with great luck) but now...

Well... I'm on the same boat. I'm running official stock Windows 8.1 from Microsoft on my Surface 3, but I can't install any store/metro app, and sideloading is not working for me. I can't even get a developer license (needed for installing) all I can do (ending up with "installed apps")...

I'm not familiar with this specific computer model, or faced this error in the past, nope. But someone here faced the same: INTERNAL POWER ERROR bsod Apparently he got some luck, but never confirmed solving the issue, perhaps you can get lucky. I suggest... you try the following: 1. Use...

I have one ISO (Windows 8 embedded) not sure about the last names (industry, enterprise, whatever). I've used it on low end machines and it's a very FAST OS. I can't offer you to upload it for several reasons (speed, size and legal aspects), but I can suggest a couple of OFFICIAL links...

Old thread, but worth updating. I've had mixed experiences installing Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 on older devices. By far, Windows 8.1 embedded has been the fastest needing less ram and being quite efficient with the resources. Other than that, a debloated version of Windows 8.1 pro x64...

Hi everyone, just wanted to share this. I'm currently using Firefox 115, but... I managed to install Firefox 122 x64 on Windows 8.1, and it runs pretty well. 1. You have to manually download the official package of the version you want (from Mozilla) 2. Unzip it (using 7zip), inside the...
