I suppose that your PC either has too few (free) RAM or too few free space on the system drive. Hardware incompatibility is also possible, but much less probable. What you should do, depends on your system resources (and you forgot to mention the PC configuration). Better would be increase both...

All right, you understood what is an "old heritage" of previous motherboard which should be uninstalled. And not only CPU-related drivers, other old devices as well. I notice that you have the "Other devices" branch, maybe there are unrecognised devices? Usually they are marked with yellow...

First of all, even it's not directly linked to your problem, lack of restore points isn't a good thing. Normally a system should have 1-2 of them at least, because System Restore is very important function which allows to restore OS damaged by unexpected failures, badly issued updates...

If the hardware-related problems (apparently) disappeared, then yes, the rest may be a result of some OS problems. The most common approach in such case is to use the System Restore, because something may happened after the last OS update or simply after a poorly issued update of anti-malware...

If your USB drive with Windows 8.1 installation cannot start, try to check it on a different PC. If all is OK, you will see at least the welcome screen with language selection and some other choices, then you can simply quit without any changes and harm to that PC. If your USB drive works well...

Please understand that it's not easy to give you any reasonable advice because you mentioned too few symptoms of malfunction. And they apparently don't have any relation to installed OS and are a result of some hardware problems. From my practice in PC hardware, slowing of warm-up may occur due...

1. Download Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool 2. Download Windows 8.1 ISO with your language and version (Home, Pro) which has been installed before. 3. Download Rufus 4. Make a bootable USB drive (4 Gb or more) with your ISO image. 5. Boot from USB and select an option to install...

If you want to disable or enable Wi-Fi interface, this can be done by commands in Administrative command prompt: netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" disable or netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" enable In this example, the interface name is Wi-Fi. You can check the name on your machine and...

That's right. Clearing the cookies was intentional, I attempted to reproduce the behaviour of completely new browser session (or new unregistered user). Selected style should be stored in cookies for long enough time, but apparently it doesn't happen. Lifetime of the cookie which stores the...

I tried EF2018 and EF2020. They are memorised only if I am logged in, then all works well, I can close a browser (Google Chrome 85, no adblock is used on this forum) without logging out, start it again and the chosen forum style remains. However, if I log out, it doesn't remain. I don't quit...

I noticed a problem that the selected style isn't remained after a user closes the browser. After some search, I found the possible source of this problem: a cookie from www.eightforum.com, xf_style_id It includes a parameter "Content" which is linked to selected style: for example, for EF2018...

(My apologies that I answer again, even though my previous reply in other thread apparently wasn't very helpful) As I see from the log, you definitely have a problem with Servicing Stack (CBS): 2020-09-26 09:38:54, Info DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=3580 TID=10468 Error in...

I see the extracts from WU log, maybe you filtered out too many lines and omitted some warnings... Anyway, the error is linked to CBS call (component-based servicing stack), 0x80073712 (you can search for this error code). Something in the Servicing Stack doesn't works properly. The common...

Apparently you missed an option to look at the last lines of WindowsUpdate.log, they may give some info about failure... As for a link, well, it's about Windows 10 problems, but the list of update-related URLs is common. Anyway, let's assume that your network connection works well, at least...

Hello, desbest! If you have never updated Windows yet (after fresh installation), look at this thread: Win Updates runs for hours, finds nothing There are two links to update KB3138615 which needs to be installed manually, for x32 and x64 systems (in different posts). Otherwise, if you have...

I see this, the previous palette restores if switch to EF2018 style. The more options, the better, thank you!

Hello, admins! I see that forum style has been noticeably changed during the past couple of days, including the style of user pictures, palette etc. Some people may heartily welcome these updates, while some others may not. Could it be possible to preserve the previous style(s) for more...

While I cannot help you right now (not a specialist in the GPU and screen problems), but if you attach a couple of screens, it may help other people. For example, a built-in screenshot of Control Panel > Display with its settings and the same photograph of your display using a mobile camera...

Hello! You may look at the recent discussion in this thread: lost among all updates in Win8.1. My own banlist is there too.

If you are concerned about (possible) password leaks and accounts compromising, I'd suggest to use these services: Identity Leak Checker and have i been pwned. They helped me in the past and can be counted safe themselves.
