Unfortunately I had to restore the hibernation: putting the notebook to sleep for 12hrs without powering it with main power supply is not practicable. Its power battery is not enough for such a sustained sleeping period. So the net-net result would be a shut down after a few hours, anyway. If...

Hi billmcct! Thanks for your help. The idea is acceptable: I will try to disable the hibernation and will report back in this thread whether the issue is gone.

Hi Everyone! I own an old but still working Lenovo G50-30 with 8 GB RAM, SSD and Intel Pentium N3540. Here are the specs with and w/o GPU: - Control Panel energy settings are set at High Performance. - Hibernation is used daily after the job hours Windows 8.1 Pro - 6.3 (build 9600) x64 with...

Hi dave67! Thank you for your help but I am not sure which thread you are referring to: do you mean 'Bypass ESU Blue'?

Hi Jody! I installed the ESU for Windows 8.1 and then recently tried to install the latest 2023-02 Security Update Only for Server 2012 R2 x64 but I got the message it's impossible to apply the update message. Which ESU? The one for Windows 8.1 or... server 2012 R2? The above procedure in...

Perfect! It's clear. Anyway we will see in just a month or a bit later. Thank you!

Hi Jody, Did you mean the KB5x18476 that was for R2 back in October (latest for November is KB5x2xx1x), correct ?

Exactly: there are still Security Updates and Windows Defender signatures updates. However it is not the same Windows Defender running Windows 10. on WIndows 10 there are several services and processes that could drain your hardware. Anyway my suggestion would be to update your HHD to a SSD...

Creating a Windows bootable disk with DVD is simply burning the ISO into a DVD; many utilities do that process or Windows own burner. Anyway it's illustrated in Option Two, step #7 'To Create Bootable Windows 8 or 8.1 Installation DVD'.

Hi erpster4, sorry for the late feedback.

Thank you, Brink for the suggestion. Also NTLite could be a solution.

Even that Windows 8.1 Disc Image iso is not up-to-date but dated 2014: After following this sequence of KBs installation in order to speed up the search of Windows updates: 1) KB3173424 2) KB3172614 -> Restart 3) KB3138615 -> Restart and Windows update set to 'Check for updates but let me...

I have Realtek HDA 6.0.1.8186 currently installed, dated 2017. ID hardware: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEC_0885&SUBSYS_18491890 Motherboard manual quotes this details: "ALC890 Audio Codec" So which is the latest driver I could try? Sometimes I am experiencing audio stuttering with realtime audio...

Hello Brink :D, Maybe I don't express myself clearly: I don't want to check for upgrades after an installation. I need to create an ISO with the Windows 8.1 updates embedded into it (so it will not need to download the latest cumulative updates via internet). Don't know the correct word for...

Unfortunately the manufacturer did not even provide the BIOS/fw upgrades for Spectre or Meltdown; it is several years there are no updates at all. However hopefully (and touching wood) hybernation is working these days. Ditto, the Sleep mode suggested by MGhee.

HI all, I already own an original Win8.1_Pro_ENG-GB_X64.ISO untouched. But it is the original MSDN release. Therefore should I need to integrate all of the dozen Windows Updates released since the 2014, which is the procedure or the appropriate thread, please? Thank you.

Hi MGhee, Thanks for your help. I actually never evaluated to use Sleep mode! Effectively it is a nice solution. It is working flawlessly for my needs and obviously faster than Hibernation. :cool:

I own a laptop with N3540 and I can see the Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIAI GeForece 820M. According to X541NA | Laptops | ASUS Global your PC also use Intel HD Graphics. Try to look for Intel web site or run Intel® Driver & Support Assistant

@nrabus: First of all run CMD with Admin rights and check your system integrity with a sfc/ scannow . Then running a non-reliable software to check drivers could not be a great idea. You may not know which garbage could be installed together with the supposedly up-to-date drivers. So I...
