    Solved Windows 8.1 x64 slow boot and unable to sleep/hibernate

    Software developer, OK I think you can figure out your own problem. I am sorry I tried to help and angered you. But I didn't understand if the problem was before, during the OS installation or after. You didn't say if you had bitlocker turned on in a previous installation or if you have tried to...

    The next data center dinosaur: Traditional storage

    I worked with IBM mainframes in the 1990's to 2000's that had some solid state storage connected for high I/O online applications in four JES2 complexes with four of IBM's largest mainframes in every complex. SSD was OK but it didn't solve the costs associated with the huge amounts of data...

    Windows 8.1 does not go to sleep / standby automatically

    My PC is in a 4 unit home network all running Windows 8.1 that were installed on a clean disk. I tried a sleep fix that worked for me in Windows 8.0: powercfg -requestsoverride driver srvnet system. That didn't fix 8.1 but I didn't change it back to default. It's still in effect. I had gone into...

    This will be Microsofts biggest ever flop, far bigger than Vista.

    I have a spare PC with Windows 8 installed on it. I uninstalled Tablet PC Components and uninstalled all of those little Metro apps that came with it. I can get around in it and find everything OK. I want to run Photoshop, Power Director and other programs. I feel like I have Windows 3.1 front...

    Microsoft to shake-up Windows 8 Start screen

    Say what you believe I think the racism quote by coke robot is ugly. He/she implies people don't like someone who is different than themselves. That is the biggest load I've seen on the internet in a while. People have a right not to like something. If using Metro bothers a computer user they...
