[MENTION=37884]champion7891[/MENTION]! I forgot to mention that "EZ Activator" is just a simple "on click" method to activate your windows. But it employs the exact same method of activation as KMSPico i.e. using KMS Activation.

Anyone getting super weird glitches on firefox in windows 8 ? I'm really super tired . Usually its on PG ,like half of the screen goes blank from the middle . The desktop I have is running on 7 nd firefox runs without any issues on it .
My brother had some similar issues a while back on win 8 , after upgrading to 8.1 pro had no more issues and also noticed that performance of chrome was slightly better....
I'll reinstall firefox to see if it solves it . It's been really bothering me .
Hi, just to reiterate. I am facing heavy slowdown problems with my fresh Win 8.1 Update 1 installation on My 3rd gen Core i 5 laptop with 5400 rpm HD, 4 GB RAM.
The boot up process is atrocious. And when the account is logged in, I can't do anything for a couple of minutes as disk usage is at 100%. Closing the lid and then resuming takes as much time as a restart/fresh boot even though in power options the lid functionality is set to sleep.
Can anyone help me?

[MENTION=37884]champion7891[/MENTION]! Your HDD is at fault. Better get yourself a cheap SSD. Look in the PG Marketplace. Someone is selling 60GB SSDs at very cheap rates.
No, this never happened before on Win 8 Pro.
At the most, wake from sleep took 15s with Win 8, now its taking 2 mins!. This is not a HDD problem.
Hm.
1. Rebuild your Index. (Go to control panel for Indexing Services)
2. Clean your C Drive for any leftovers from the update. Either do it from C: drive's properties, or use CCleaner.
Guys, I'm using Windows 8 with StartIsBack.
Would upgrading to 8.1 be possible? (this is the Enterprise Edition)
Are there any major benefits? Any improvements in boot speed? Right now, a cold boot takes around 9-10 seconds.

You can upgrade. And yes there are many minor improvements (and some major, mostly related to "Metro/Modern" area). Preferable to upgrade.

It's worth it IMO but you'll still have to install StartIsBack or similar program if you're used to it.
Update 2 due in few days, nothing major expected but still.

Just updated from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 on my gaming rig.Had windows 8.1 and was satisfied with it however the experience is even better on desktop somehow (I believe its because of the mouse ) and currently I'm using internet explorer although firefox is on download and to be fairly honest internet explorer has vastly improved.Anyone still thinking that it's slow etc need to give that stereotype up now .The scrolling animation is great.The time to open a new tab is just remarkably fast and it's really satisfying.The fact that unlike google chrome and firefox,it has a lot of space on the screen is a great +1 too.Besides that,I tried my hands on the windows appstore as well for first time.Downloaded a music app I use on my phone which allows me to download English songs however the app lacks several options (even playlists,sort etc) but still is really good I believe.
I was sort of surprised when I had the same wallpaper from my laptop on my desktop when the windows first booted up and was sort of amazed by it .

The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lolLegacyGamerGuy said: -

Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

L LegacyGamerGuy:Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.LegacyGamerGuy said: -
L LegacyGamerGuy:Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
