Hello! I recently tried to update my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and it did not work, and ever since then I've been getting 'activate Windows, please go to pc settings to activate Windows' popups that take me out of games and everything. My Windows has been active as far as I know on this computer ever since I bought it 5 years ago in store, and in my control panel action center it says it is activated. However, when I click on Windows Activation, it says 'Windows isn't activated' yet it shows the last 5 characters of my activation code still. I would like some assistance here because the popup is driving me crazy! Thanks! Continue reading...

Hello. Just one question... Fist to explain, myself. I have 2 laptops: one mine, one my wife. Mine is running on windows 10, my wife's windows 8. Both windows are with licence (to eliminate any question's about it). Now, the Christmas is coming I both another laptop to my wife that is running only on windows 10. Off course I've tried to install windows 8, because I have licence for it, but is just not working. Then I install my licence on my wife computer. Now, my question: I need to buy another licence, or the existing windows 8, can be (on paper) upgraded to windows 10. I know that on other laptop, I receive now and then link to upgrade to windows 1…

Win 8.1 said to have default setting to Auto Log on Last User After Windows Updates - Need details PLEASE
by Guest Skeptic88- 0 replies
- 197 views
I'm trying to decipher what I'm reading in this article on the web. How to prevent Windows 8 from automatically logging in the last user I think that it is stating that Win 8.1 has a default setting that will automatically log on the last user AFTER WINDOWS UPDATES are done and the system is restarted.... Can someone please help me understand this. I'd be so grateful! So..the lap top data shows X logged on After Windows Updates on xx/xx/xxxx date. But, this person did NOT log on and I'm confused as to why the data (event viewer, I think) indicates they did log on. Then I learn of this Auto setting and I think that this explains it..but need confirmation. If…

Windows 8 Slow Restart
by Guest Niya Alexandria Stephenson- 0 replies
- 164 views
Hello, I am Niya Stephenson. I have issues regarding the reboot and startup of my computer. I have an Asus q524u. First, it froze, so I had to use the power button to turn it off. I used the power button to turn it back on once more, but it became increasingly slow. The blue screen kept showing for hours at a time, I had to use the power button to do a cold reboot, I turn it on again, and pressed the button to shut it down. If anyone has advice on what I should do, WITHOUT downloading or INSERTING a CD that would be great. I request this part because you can't install software if you cant reach the desktop in the first place. Thank you. Continue reading...

Emptied Recycling Bin but Disk space did not free up
by Guest Orange_Joe- 0 replies
- 171 views
I am running a VM with Server 2012R2 through Hyper-V. The C drive was low on space (down to about 5GB) so I went hunting for what was taking up all this space. It turns out there were two .bkf files that were over a year old in the recycling bin. One was 44GB and the other was 18 or so. Thought, "Great, this is where all my space has gone" so I emptied the recycling bin but the space was not reclaimed as free.. I restarted the VM several times, tried the disk cleanup as well as ran a chkdsk through the C drive's Properties > Tools > Error Checking interface; no errors were found. I am pulling my hair out as to why the space was not reclaimed... Please help…
