In preparation for an upgrade to Windows 10 I have changed the Region/Language for my system to "English (Canada)" wherever I could find a setting for it. That includes Control Panel > Region > Format "English (Canada) ", Control Panel > Region > Location "Canada", Control Panel > Language...

Since everyone appears to be fresh out of ideas, I am marking this thread as solved

The documentation for RST at Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) — Supported Chipsets and Controller Hubs does not list the x99 chipset my board uses.

@KYHI Diskpart does not show the disks in question (see attachment) It shows the SSD (119GB), one MBR disk (1.5TB), one GPT disk @ 2TB and one GPT disk @ 3 TB 2 additional 3TB disks are missing. (I had to disable the "Fast Boot" and "Win8/8.1 Features" options to be able to get back into...

Update @KYHI - I'm not sure I even have Intel rapid storage technology (or where I would even look for it) I was unable to find anything that referred to it in Device Mangler. The MSI motherboard ships with a utility called "MSI Live Update 6". This utility normally just crashes but if you do a...

Hi there, I am hoping someone here can help: I just picked up my new W8.1 computer from the store and started playing with it. I inserted 3 GPT Hard Drives. All three showed in the UEFI but only one of them showed up in Device Manager and in Disk Management. No matter what I tried, I could not...

Update to 8.1 fails Tried downloading & installing the update to Windows 8.1. Received the message "This app wasn't installed - view details". Clicking on "view details" produces the following, very informative message apparently composed by someone not very fluent in English: "Something...

Waiting for 8.1.... I have probably tried just about every kind of trouble shooter listed on Google. I agree, I won't bother until after 8.1 comes down. The fellow who suggested the problem was caused by a symbolic link, had no permanent solution either. see KB2856373 update failing with error...

@topgundcp: I created a batch file as per your post and ran it. Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem. @my2cents: The link you provided gives me the message "We're sorry, but your operating system is not supported by Microsoft Fix it at this time" (On my Windows 7 machine the link...

Symbolic Link could be the culprit I found a post at KB2856373 update failing with error 80070026 - Microsoft Community This posts deals with the exact same problem I have: KB2856373 fails with Error 80070026 (I haven't checked the remaining 2 updates ). In the last post of that thread, the...

Turns out I spoke too soon: Only three of the six updates installed correctly. I re-ran the sfc and DISM with the restorehealth parameter - all appeared to be clean Rebooted, Ran Windows Update, KB2781197, KB2845533, KB2856373 are still offered. Tried to install the first one (KB2781197) by...

SFC /scannow solved the problem System File Checker did the trick: Ran sfc /scannow which repaired "something" Re-booted Ran Windows Update again and all is well. (When I re-started, I got a prompt asking which Windows Installation I wanted to use: "Windows 8" or "Windows". Err - I only have...

DISM found no corruption @Your2Cents: Thanks for your quick reply! I had already run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth In an elevated command prompt but DISM found "No component Store Corruption" Any...

When trying to use Windows Update on a Windows 8 Pro - 64 machine, I am encountering a number of errors: 6 Updates just will not install: KB2835364 - Error 80070003 - and, on one attempt Error 80070007 KB2856373 - Error 80070026 - and, on one attempt Error 80070007 KB2822241 - Error 80070002...

@feeror, @topgundcp I had been building the machine that had this problem for a client. This client was using it in a wired environment and thus MY problem was no problem for him. I had been toying with the idea of building an identical machine for myself but given all the problems I...

One further development: I had sent an inquiry to Gigabyte, the manufacturer of my motherboard asking them about the "Download Center" utility that is packaged with my board and is supposed to give me the latest and greatest drivers. This utility did not work properly for me forcing me to hunt...

I'm about to give up for now: The bleeping devices have disappeared again. I refuse to reset the router every time I shut down the Windows 8 machine.

* LAN Manager authentication level was already set to LM & NTLM responses only * I can't find the setting to turn off require 128-bit encryption but I am certain I already turned it off. * The switches are not managed switches. * The cell phones were definitely not mine (I gave up cell phones...

I followed your suggestion and re-set router to factory settings, manually set it up again, rebooted, etc. and still nothing! (Well - "something": two unknown cell-phones had somehow snuck onto the network in that brief moment when it was unprotected. I explicitly blocked those using MAC address...

That's one thing I did not try. I'll give that a shot when I have time. Unfortunately that won't be until at least tomorrow. One other thing, in case you're curious: Until earlier today I had been connecting via the 5GHz connection. I just switched to the 2.4GHz connection and it is doing the...
