Maybe I should start the same topic on tenforums as this is probably not a specific Windows 8 one .. ?

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone is still active here and willing to guide me through a troubleshooting walk to get an annoyance out of the way ? Something is adding a considerable delay in my Windows startup time. As soon as Explorer loads, the system is doing *something* in the background...

I tried installing some newer versions but not that latest one as that one causes system to hang at boot. Probably because I'm still on an "old" X58 platform. For the moment I'm using a workaround with a batch file in my startup folder that starts the service for me. Any help in getting it...

Event viewer says it's a .NET issue: Application: IAStorDataMgrSvc.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.NullReferenceException at IAStorUtil.SystemDataModelListener.ProcessSystemDataModelChanges()...

Hi there, I have first searched the issue here on the forum but because of the -as suspected- big number of hits on RST issues, decided to start a thread anyway. Even more so because I feel it's a very specific one. So every time I boot, the Intel RST icon in the system tray reports that the...

Can't believe how dumb I was ... It turns out that Windows 8 installed the wrong driver by itself. Instead of taking the one from TP-Link, which I downloaded, it installed another one: the one relating to the chipset inside the USB dongle (some Realtek one). I had to "overrule" this by selecting...

I haven't tried disabling firewall yet. I'll come back to that one. Nor did I google anything specific to my hardware as the number of reported issues with 8.1 + limited connectivity are very widespread I just assumed Windows is at fault here. I'll look for something more specific to my...

Hi gurus, I'm having some problems suddenly with my wifi on my Windows 8.1 machine. This is a desktop PC with a small USB wifi-N adapter from TP-Link. Every time I boot, it gets only a limited connection with my router. Simply disconnecting and reconnecting solves the issue. The TCP/IP stack...

Thx for your reply. However, oviously, I'm on a Windows 8.1 computer. Does the same procedure apply ?

Thank you very much for your tips. As soon as I turned off Windows Firewall, I was able to connect. So now the following question: what rule do I add/amend in the firewall to allow incoming RDC requests ?

Hi there, What services would be required running ? I assume they are as it is a fresh install ?

Thank you but I'd rather have my problem sorted.

Hi there, I have a fresh install of 8.1 PRO x64 on one of my machines and want to install and configure further via RDC, as I usually do from the comfort of my couch using a laptop running 7 x64 Enterprise. So I'm connected and everything's up and running, yet cannot RDC from the 7 laptop into...

I know, but putting it back together with that W7 drive is a no-go. I don't want to risk messing up the W7 drive too, as the combination of both drives is what started it all in the first place ... Which was one of the reasons I didn't want to go into too much detail at first :) But anyway, I...

Just to be clear: as I stated in the thread title I am not able to boot. Therefore, cannot provide any disk management screenshots. As I also said the SSD is the only drive connected. I'm trying to restore/recreate correct boot settings, which is what I need help with as the usual stuff doesn't...

Sure, I'm more than happy to provide any details to help solve it. Judging from the reactions I'll just briefly explain what happened: I have 4 drives in total (3 HD's, 1 SSD). The first HD has W7x64 on it. The SSD has 8.1x64 on it. Both installed independantly from each other. As I have done...

I'm afraid I don't have system protection activated ...

True, yet I didn't want to elaborate because the source has little to do with the solution to my opinion, and would only cause confusion and looking in the wrong direction.

Yup, ran it something like 8 times in a row without succes

Yup
