I just re-installed Windows 8.1 on my ASUS X202E laptop. It was long process since it originally came with Windows 8, so after I installed that I had to install all the patches and updates before I could even get Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store. Then I had all those patches and updates...

I'm having an interesting problem with Windows 8.1. The computer should be going to sleep on its own (it doesn't always) so I sometimes put it to sleep manually. 75% of the time it works fine, but other times the display will go black yet the computer remains on. If I try to "wake" the computer...

I'm not exactly sure when this problem cropped up since I don't use it often, but when I type "cmd" in Modern UI and right-click on the program, choose Run as administrator, I'm dropped to the desktop and nothing happens. This also happens if I list programs installed through the Modern UI and...

I'm getting ready to re-install Windows 8 on a laptop. I have a Windows 8 OEM disc that I'd like to slipstream Windows 8.1 Update 1 into so I don't have to spend extra time downloading Win8 updates before having to download Windows 8.1 and then all those updates. I'd like to be able to just...

I'm running CyanogenMod 11 on it, which is based on Android 4.4.2. I haven't installed or configured any apps on my PC to allow for this, nor any...

After the 8.1 Update yesterday the Windows Store keeps automatically opening at boot. After I close it it will then re-open fifteen minutes later. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for fixing it?

Just a hypthetical: say someone installs an RTM version of Windows 8. Can they bypass activation temporarily until the OEM is released at the end of the month, and then activate Windows 8 with that code?

Is anyone else a little surprised that no one has Windows 8 available for pre-order yet? Since MS is still more interested in physical media as opposed to downloadable, you'd think they'd want as many people getting their hands on it as soon as possible. I'd figure Amazon, NewEgg and other...

A couple weeks ago I upgraded my motherboard and CPU. While I did de-authorize some software (i.e. Adobe Premiere, etc.) I forgot a couple and, after booting into Windows with the new hardware, some programs stopped working. When I tried to re-authorize it wouldn't let me because I was out of...
