Ran Win Repair on My Win 8.1, Access & Win Update Issues

Thanks -- i'll give it a shot tonight!

Thanks for the time. Appreciate it.

I'll be going back to Win 8 when I have a little time. I have spent a lot of time on the errors and could have have saved most of it just by reloading on Win 8. A solid ISO baCKUP OF 8.1 Would have been nice but my CD/DVD is now having security issues. When I go into services and try to find dependicies and get access denied and nobody can help its bail time. Most of stuff I ran into was easy when it was visa, 7 and .... 8?

I am now convinced that no one is ready for 8.1, including microsoft. Tools, trouble shooters and just basic knowlegde -- nobody really knows. You're really screwed if you have 64 bit, which I do have.

Re-load Win 8 and stick with the big boys that have worked for me in past. The Ccleaner- Piriform tools, Wise Care, the Slim* guys and comodo. Oh and Sys Internals and Nirsoft stuff always seems to work. A few others also but want to sit down in front of computer to use it, not try to fix it.

Thanks again and good luck to you and yours.

What I am seeing with 8.1 is when people upgrade from 8 to 8.1 is when a lot of things break. Upgrades have always been a bad idea. And 8.1 wasnt just a system update, you actually download the whole iso file and install over 8.0.

Thats why if someone wants 8.1 it is a really good idea, if you are installing fresh, to get your hands on a 8.1 iso instead and forget the upgrade path they have you do.

MS has admitted 8 is doing worse than vista in terms of adaption growth and supposedly they are going to try and win Windows XP users over with Windows 9 due out next year. Only time will tell :-)
