Hello - I have an HP laptop with Windows 8.

My mother's computer runs Windows 8. When you right click on any documents folder, computer files etc., the whole screen will freeze except the mouse icon, wait about 30 seconds to a minute, give a blue screen and refresh. When it is refreshed, all the desktop icons are rearranged into a messy, seemingly random order. She claims that this problem existed ever since she bought it, back in 2014. I tried cleaning malwares, changing the antivirus systems, about every desktop icon arrangement setting combination that exists, i tried checking intel hd graphics settings. I looked at previous similar questions and they didn't help much, because the problems we…

I wanted to completely stop Windows update services in my windows 8 laptop. For that I had disabled Windows Update services by going to Services options from taskmanager. But the next time I connected my pc to Internet, it agains started. The main problem is that because of Windows update a process named "Tiworker.exe" runs on background and takes very much CPU and RAM usage. When I checked the settings of Windows update inside control panel. I found a message there "Some settings are managed by your system administrator" and I am not able to change any of the settings related to Windows Update although I am the administrator user. Screenshot of that control panel w…

I know people can upgrade to Windows 10 via Microsoft Updates and through the Windows 10 Upgrade Tool; but can my friend, as long as he does it on the PC where the Windows 8 key has been active on the motherboard for the longest time, do a full storage format and clean install of Windows 10 rather than the other options? Ex; Download the Windows 10 Tool. Install it on the USB flash drive. Boot it from the bios menu. Format the drives and start a whole new fresh install on a bare drive of Windows 10 because he has a Windows 8 key. Continue reading...
