It would be helpful if, before asking for help, you've made sure that you've installed all the available updates for your os through "Windows Update" if that is at all possible according to the issue that you're experiencing, and after having installed all the updates check whether your problem still persists.

Running windows 8.1 64-bit, all updates installed to date.įor instance saying "Libreoffice 4.x.x" is not enough. The following is an example of what would be helpful: Please, in future, could you always provide very specific version info when you ask for assistance? for the operating system, apps that are experiencing problems, and any other relevant apps/suites/likely culprits? otherwise we'll just have to ask you for that info. You can check what version you're running by right-clicking on "my computer" and choosing "properties" or through the old Control Panel/System (i don't use metro/modern ui at all so i can't tell you whether it has a corresponding facility) Additionally, there are 32 and 64 bit variants, makes your head spin doesn't it?. finally tablets also can have Windows RT which is still windows 8 but for portable ARM devices. I'm afraid there's no windows 8.a that i know of, it will be either 8(.0) or 8.1 both of these have a few editions: home (aka "basic" and "core"), pro, enterprise. thank youįorgive the long post, please read it carefully as you'll have to make a decision. Thanks, not sure where to go with this issue. Windows media play can not open any file including. As in when i opened them, all formatting was screwed up and nothing was at all the way i designed it. Im not a purest for one over the other at all.Īlso, note sure if related but all my libre presentations got corrupted. I migrated from ubuntu 12.10 to win 8.1 and its driving me crazy, HOWEVER, i do love windows.

On a side note, vmplayer is acting dstrangely slow and random.

Second issue, when i click sign out so i can power off, on average takes 17 minutes to sign out. This is even after a clean restart and giving a 5 minute buffer time for things to load. The longest i had to wait was almost 2 minutes. No matter what file or folder i RIGHT click on, it takes roughly 45 seconds to bring up the menu. before i send back to hp to get fix i though i thought i would ask here. I do not mind the layout, its the performance of it that bugs me. However, its been a while since i could afford a new laptop and now i have one but this windows 8.a is somewhat of a hassle. I have read toms hardware since 2004 and have used it to compare specs of hardware.
