More W8 woes.......
I do not have W8 on my pc.s, but daughter recently needed a new laptop, so we bought one from PC World as they (believe it or not) had a deal that Google could not beat.
BUT - it has W8 on it. I do not like W8, but daughter seems to cope with it.
However, recently it had decided that "Too much memory was being used" or whatever it says. Apps/progs were crashing and/or slowing down.
As I was the nearest available help desk, I started to do the usual. Get msconfig and task manager up and start deleting unwanted "services" and start up progs....... So far so good.
Then, turn off pc, start it up again, and all will be well......
Er, NO!!!
To get Win8 to recognise a change in either services or start up, you do not close down the pc and start it up. Oh, no. That's far too obvious.
Nope - you have to do a "restart" instead.
Huh. What twit decided that?
