Hi I bought Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro just 2 days ago in S.Korea. Everything looks fine, but the only problem is that when I use several Windows 8 style Apps, "explorer.exe" crashes occur randomly. There are also crashes when I just handle Windows 8 style UI even I don't use Windows 8 style apps, such as just touching some buttons on Charm bar. It does not happen when I use x86 or x64 desktop mode apps. Anyway, So I decided re-installing Windows 8 x64(Samsung OEM version) to Windows 8 Pro x64(TechNet version). After then same problem have been occurring, re-installing wasn't solution of this problem. I'm a system security developer, so I'm using several critical apps that can affect to OS, like Ollydbg, WinDbg, IDA, Process Monitor, Process Hacker and several apps that are related to reverse engineering. I already took a look at if there were suspicious module which can make crash in explorer.exe , but there weren't. And I also tried to test System stability test by using AIDA64 stressing CPU,FPU,RAM and GPU for 20 minutes. But it looks that there is no problem. So my conclusion is that Windows 8 style UI is still unstable. Anyone has same problem? Thanks for reading. ps.

I have a Samsung 700t slate that I upgraded to win8 pro. once in a while, i.e. every other day or so the lock screen appears to be hung in that it wont slide up. the computer still seems to be alive as the cursor is visible on the screen when I have a mouse plugged in, the volume slider appears when I adjust the volume, and the autorotate button displays the message when its button is toggled. I haven't tried an rdp connection to the machine yet when its in this state. I've installed all updates from winupdate and have all the Samsung drivers installed through the Samsung driver tool. I've seen people report similar issues, but in those cases they seem to indicate that the machine is completely frozen. from what I can tell, i'm at least partially alive. anyone seen anything similar?to recover, I need to do a hard reset, but even then it takes at least a couple of times of full power cycling to recover to the point where the lock screen will work again.

After finally upgrading to Windows 8 with a lot of trouble, I finally have it on my laptop. It looks beautiful, I love the feel of it and it seems like it will do very well. However, when I upgraded I only chose the option of keeping personal files, as it wouldn't let me upgrade if I did it along with files and settings. Now Microsoft Word 2010 is gone. Also, many other programs are gone as well. To add to the troubles, the app store won't let me download apps. Whenever I try to it says that something went wrong and my purchase couldn't be completed. I have all my information in and all the correct billing information in, but it still won't let me.

Hi there: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm also having issues with the Update KB2756872 (and also KB2769165, KB2770917). I have a brand new Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13, fresh install of Windows 8, just picked up yesterday. I've attempted the fixes listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2777330. Have Trend Micro Titanium newly installed, fully updated. Tried also disabling it to run the update, no joy. Uninstalled audio and video drivers (tried each, then both together) and attempted the update, no joy. Also tried to download and run the updates manually, all failed. And last I tried the System Update Readiness Tool instructions for Windows 8 detailed here with no joy: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821. Can try cleaning out the update cache? Not sure if there are any other fixes I can attempt here, but more than willing. Would really rather not have to go through a fresh Windows 8 install, as this laptop came with no install media and it would involve jumping through more hoops. Thanks much! View this thread
