Read this thread or Delete from Task Scheduler.

I would say this is proper blur: http://tinyurl.com/oezpram Not as good quality as it really is due to site reducing it.

A sore point for some members, FIX use another browser according to them (read ones long winded rant in my last thread, sorry cannot paste link) lol

That is very long winded second guessing/assuming post you made and 99% is pointless (I never reads it fully) and wrong. Stubbornness if you like. I already stated before I will not install other browsers for a few sites to work as IE11 has been around long enough and tested before that Devs to update sites. It should work in Compat Mode. I messed with FF when it was new (and since) and it was "1337" long ago now its Chromes turn to be in "fashion" no thanks to either. I am not getting at the staff here and its no loss to me not to be able to post links/photos as it was not to help myself.

I would say my Taskbar is blurred without any other Apps, just This and ClassicShell. I cannot link or posts photos here though sorry.

Navigation Area+Glass what am I supposed to see (yes running AeroGlass). Cant post link or photo here once again due to non IE11 support sorry.

LOL after peeps cried for years to get that UP Arrow back in @Windows. TBH I never seen the point as it does the same as the Side Arrow IMO (unless I am missing something).

I used to disable those 2 setting and "lowdiskspace" in Vista but I was never sure if they actually gained anything lol.

I am on balanced, do not want PC overclocked 24/7 for no real reason so not sure if it will park cores. Should shoot up to Full speed under load and not parks cores. My setting for that string are same as yours but there is many of them and some are not 64. Just used his older App and it still claims 2 cores parked after setting Power Mode to High Performance, again he does claim the Windows Reg may say that but it will not be parked for all CPU;s (4770K) and TBH I do not really have much faith in his App.

High Performance Mode in Power Options will not stop Core Parking. Win7 was bad for it but AFAIK MS sorted it in Win8, still some claim to have parked cores. I never bothered to mess with hacks to sort in Win7 but it did give massive gains to WinRAR etc as I did not like Win7 and knew 8 was to fix it. I was simply thinking you had unparked the cores in Win7 and for some reason Win8 is still parking them for you. The weird part is Resource Manager shows all mine are not parked but the App shows 2 are. Edit: Just read the Windows Reg may say some are parked but certain CPU will not park so I guess I am ok going by Resource Manager. Coderbag.com makes a App to test/change parking. His new Beta build does not make sense to me (I cannot paste here but at least edit now works sometimes.).

Are your CPU cores parked in Win7 and Win8+ (they should not be in Win8+)?

Might be Win 8+ degrades faster than Win 7 not sure and not sure if same for all users. I cannot agree with Avast, its nowhere near top and for pure Malware I think Malware Bytes get the best name. I know your comparing apples to apples though and I am simply saying I would not have Avast or AVG near my PC. I started to use it also a few weeks back, it can run along side ESS without issue (both vendors claim).

I do not like like AVAST or AVG, both come up if you Google peeps having performance issues over the years. I know Defender in Win XP/Vista\7 is a hog but in Win 8 defender is really MSE and not as bad. I use ESET ESS BTW, not perfect but its an all in one and I prefer those, standalone AV would be Nod32. All reviews sites show Win8+ faster than all before it esp. for games. At times I fell its slow but not sure if that is just me getting used to it as clean install can feel fast for while. SSD's are fast for certain file sizes and not the be all and end all esp. for small seq Writes.

I was going to post that Windows 8.1 update+Aero info last night but TBH its true what that link says in that its there hidden in each test build of Windows 8 and probably will be removed by RTM so I reframed.

Works on IE11 (hint, hint).

Defender in Vista/Win 7 was a resource hog but in Win 8/8.1 (same as MSE) is not nor is standalone MSE IMO. MS Onecare was bad on resources though.

"license.key" is what mines has always been called and no issues. I would bet it could be called Goat.se.key and it would still work.

Still breaks now and then and fixes with a reboot. Assumed this new BHO method might change that.

I do not like any of the 3rd party free AV's, I use ESET ESS but to answer your question on topic: Defender is MSE in Win 8/8.1 that is why you cannot install MSE and IMO its as good as those other free AV's.

Install Classic Shell or just the Classic IE part of it and you will be sorted.

@ raiden89, I posted how to get the IE caption, not sure if my post was removed (see no reason why) or it did not post as this site does not work well with IE11.

No thanks, sites should now work with IE11 its been out long enough.

I cannot paste here so try to follow this. Go to the main page where you grab the file and click the link to donate, fill in email (linked to the PayPal email you used to donate) and postcode/zipcode and generate a machine ID code. This will give you a license then put it in the C:\AeroGlass folder and reboot and it will grab files or do as I do and install it over the top again.

The peeps could also send him a thanks you email for making this App to fix MS's shortcomings.

This thread should be made up on 99% posts about getting this App developed to next stage not whiners crying about a donation.
