Anyone has a credible mirror for 10.0.24? I can't download anything from the Intel site, nothing happens when I click to agree or disagree with their license.

If Secure Boot is on then Windows 8 is confirmed to be UEFI booted, right? I just updated the BIOS and the startup changed from the usual ASUS logo to the Windows 8 logo, but in msinfo32 the BIOS mode is UEFI and Secure Boot is on. And to add, my boot SSD is GPT.

Don't think I want to do a refresh and lose all those settings. Anyway I did a sfc /scannow. It said it repaired some corrupted files but didn't fix the Task Manager crashes.

No good. Still getting those crashes once in a while. It would crash and when you try to run it again it reverts back to simple mode and it would sometime crash again.

My recent install is the USB 3 Boost by ASUS. Removed it and cleaned up the poorly done uninstall with an unofficial tool. Did the SFC scan and it reports no integrity problems. Task Manager seems to be back proper. Monitoring before marking as solved.

Recently Task Manager decides to crash on open. After that these 2 entries are created in the Event Viewer: Event ID: 1000, Source: Application Error Faulting application name: taskmgr.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x50107c26Faulting module name: taskmgr.exe, version...

Ok, theres someone who confirmed this problem in my other thread: Start screen doesn't search shortcuts (lnk files) - Neowin Forums Looks like only Microsoft can solve this problem.

Nobody?

Is there any way to stop desktop IE10 from logging in automatically to Hotmail, Skydrive etc when Win 8 is tied to a MS account?

You can find out this way too:

Did I post this at the wrong subforum? If so can a moderator move it to the correct subforum?

Success! Took quite some time, luckily there's enough HDD around otherwise data will be sacrificed. In the end the problem lies with the HDD from the old PC. So for people who are going to use their old data HDD in their UEFI Win 8 build, make sure that there are no logical/extended...

@ salt grass I can install the UEFI version fine, just had booting problem. ---- OK, it boots after reinstall with with the bare minimum. Connected the HDD and boot problem again. This time it stucked at "preparing automatic repair". On research it seems like uefi doesn't boot proper...

I've tried Automatic Repair but not consecutive 3 times. Maybe I'll try that. Maybe I'll try installing without the graphics card, sound card and my 2 other HDD. Go to the bare minimum. Kind of sucks when I bought a new PC just to try out Windows 8. Hope this repeated installation won't kill...

Wanted to try the UEFI so I deleted my legacy BIOS/MBR installation of Win 8. I followed the steps here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2328-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-8-a.html?filter[2]=Installation%20and%20Setup Got Win 8 to install successfully in in...

Can anyone confirm this or am I doing anything wrong?

The search in my copy of Win 8 can't seem to find any shortcuts except those in the Start Menu folder. Using the search in the Start screen. I did this to test: 1) Create a shortcut at an indexed location thats not the Start Menu folders 2) I waited a bit and notice the item count in the...
