Confirmed: Windows Blue Will Be Free, to Be Called 8.1
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
Same here, I wonder why!
Well this sucks. Updating has killed my Asus Xonar D1 for some reason, must be down to driver incompatibilities.
As well as that, whenever I try and open an application or click the desktop icon in the start menu, there's a delay of about 10-15 seconds before anything happens, except for if I click a windows 8 "app" which is instant.

Windows 8.1 Pro - SecureBoot isn't configured correctly Build 9600
All required fields are ticked for this, it doesnt get rid of the water mark. Right P***** me off it has. I shall be emailing microsoft in the morning and asking them why yet again they have decided to release something that doesnt work accorss the board and is as such in my opinion a crap unfinished release.
It may be quicker but dear god that message and inability to fix it has royally miffed me.
OcUK use parts similar to my own in builds on a daily basis, as such I cannot recommend 8.1 nor 8 (as it will upgrade to it). Snotty email imminent.

KB2894179, KB2883200, and KB2894029. All installed and doing the grand sum of.. FA.
Very unimpressed as how something that should just work doesnt. Ease of use if key with an OS, this would drive most buying apple.
edit: macbook air is out.. oh it works! Why am I not surprised? Windows /FAIL.
At least windows is working just a water mark, try telling that too us in the ios7 thread, even after two updates.
Not good, but large releases will have issues as theres so many hardware configurations. Its how fast they solve it. Ios cant even say that with only a dozen or so hardware configurations.
Several things you can try.
Is secure boot enabled in bios?
If its false you probably need to re-enter the secure code from the manufacturer.
Some more info on ms, like this thread.

You're not missing anything - downloads for me start off at 3mb/sec but soon drop down to 50k/sec and then eventually stop, so they must be taking a hammering

Done all that, its just no good. I think the issue is what we all know anyway, windows 8 is just awful and window 7 should be the OS to use. Its poor that I have to say it but its true.. far less issues and a start button thats actually worth having.
If you just shut down whilst it is downloading it will start from where it left off when you turn it back on.
This is what I am doing.

Im uninstalling it and putting win8 back on. 8.1 is broke. It has nothing to do with my Gugabyte board or any ASRock or ASUS or MSI products others have the same issue with. The fact the issue is so widely seen tells me that once again Microsoft cant do anything right. Morons. Simple.
Hopefully they will see this and have a look into it... Can but only hope.
