This is the boot time of my Seagate HDD 500 GB (13 years old) On Win 8.1

windows 8.1 build 9600 64 bit actually downloads updates,but, isn't it at end of life support?

So i was wondering how's the gaming with windows 8.1? For games like, OW2,cs2,dota2,apex legends.

Working on an older laptop (Windows 8.1) and didn't realize the photos were set to online only with skydrive back in 2015. I believe these photos were auto uploaded by Samsung and at some point Skydrive was changed to OneDrive. I'd like to backup the photos but it says they are not available offline and all the files are gone from one drive when logging I from a modern machine so I assume they have been purged.

However, I can see greyed out thumbnails of each of my missing files locally in the SkyDrive/One Drive folder. Either way this means there is some form of local version/thumbnail stored somewhere which I'd like to retrieve.

Hoping someone may be able to help determine the filepath to the temp/thumbnails/hidden system folder for OneDrive on Windows 8.1?

Windows 8 is instructable to me and I havent worked in a PC envrionment in years so I'm lost. I'd appreciate any help possible, it may be the only way to salvage years worth of memories and thousands of photos.

Twice in a row now, I have had this problem on my Win 8.1 laptop. I AM entering the correct Microsoft Live password for my account, but the login prompt is rejecting it, claiming the password is wrong. I can log in to my Microsoft Live account on the Microsoft web site using the password, and the laptop is connected to the Internet. In fact, I logged in on the laptop using the same password earlier - it's just Locked now because I closed the lid, but it rejects the password.

When I say twice, I mean I have already used the "forgot my password" process on the Microsoft web site to reset the password, but within days, the laptop is now also rejecting the new password, which continues to work on the Microsoft site.

I powered down the computer despite it still having a locked session running, to see if that would clear things up. It cleared the Locked status, but it still says the password is incorrect, and that I could try resetting the password for my Microsoft Live account. That DID work the first time, but only for 1 or maybe 2 logins, and now it's rejecting the correct new password.

What can I do to log on using something other than the Administrator account (which I can log on with, BTW).

.NET 4.8 on Windows 8?

So on restarting my 14 year old hp pavilion laptop running windows 8.1 showed an error screen error 0xc000000f. I couldn't find installation media like for windows 10, there is an iso on microsoft website but I'm not getting anywhere with it, it just keeps booting back to bios.

Thanks in advance

If so, comment down below, it doesn’t matter that they got discontinued, I would like to have the apps for a broad classic Facebook/Twitter revival project. Thank you.

Hello. I saw many posts about sideloading apps on Windows 8, but it actually was 8.1. They're a bit different. So maybe somebody who use windows 8 instead of 8.1 can explain it to me?

Sincerely

I have a question about chkdsk /f vs chkdsk /scan

What's the difference between them?

And what about chkdsk (only) vs chkdsk /scan?

Disclaimer: I tried Googling this with multiple different prompts, and I didn't find much answers.

I need a Windows 8 enterprise x64 iso that is fully updated because Microsoft doesn’t have one, only for windows 8.1 it does. The reason why im asking for this is because if i can recall, some drivers in SDI says it’s unsigned and i know that i need updates for it to work. If you guys can provide me one, thanks.

This was my Windows 8.1 start screen before I updated to 11

UPDATE: I fixed the issue by installing a slightly older version of the drivers, the most recent one that says "GeForce Game Ready Driver" instead of "GeForce Security update driver" in NVIDIA's old drivers installation page. Specifically the version 472.12 for Windows 7 (file name mentions win8 and win7).

Hello guys, today I upgraded my main PC running 8.1 from i3 8350k to i5 10600k, also had to change the motherboard. I have previously had everything work fine on 8.1, including my RTX 2070.

Now though, my other monitor isn't being detected. Device manager detects it but control panel doesn't (it says "Microsoft basic VGA adapter or something like that). Installed the correct driver successfully but the monitor is still not being detected.

Then I figured I'll try to install the chipset driver for my Asus Prime Z490-P motherboard. Obviously there are no 7/8.1 drivers but some 10 drivers work on 8.1 so I tried out the "Intel Consumer ME driver V2047.100.0.1039 For Windows 10 64-bit. ". Straight away it detects my unsupported OS and doesn't let me install.

My question being, does anyone know if you can force the driver to install and if it would work even if you did that?

Any other tips for the monitor not being recognised?

If this is not the best or most knowledged community for this kind of question, please direct me to a better one!

So why do Windows apps that I installed from this archive work fine but the ones from THIS one give me a "This App Can't Open" error? I had all the dependencies installed for all apps from the 2nd archive with more files to function correctly yet they still didn't wanna work, so are those broken or what?

i'm trying to install Windows 8.1 on my macbook pro.But my harddrive isn't GPT.

I want to know and where can i download them

Is there a patch?

Now with real apps (except youtube)
