yes, it is nt 6.2, but honestly it was really bad. Some of the worst ui decisions were made in this os. 8.1 is what windows 8 should have been.

Hi, this eclipse forum is msfn 2.0? O.o? or what is going on? I see so many familiar faces over there including win10 hater and win32

Well this is perfect. It seems to be intentional. You could try vista if you can. without ex kernel though. It should run judging by their system requirements.

Hi, no worries about older gpu. it simply does not work with anything on 8.1. I'm using it with msi afterburner combination. All troubles started with 7.2.2 and continues up until the latest beta. Please try the latest stable one. Thank you!

Lately I was trying to report a bug with rivatuner and msi afterburner. When you try to display anything in OSD, riva tuner will infinitely crash. Inspite of system requirement being windows xp, I've only met stupid moderator saying that they only focus on "modern" oses and they will not fix it for 8.1. WTF??? is it working on windows 7? Thanks Edit: Hehe seems like I got banned on their forum. No big deal I guess system requirements means nothing to them.

I honestly don't know the exact number but let's say around 10.

It no longer connects to their servers. I tried

https://prnt.sc/11ksyyh What happened?

sorry, I'm not trying to mock you or anything, but have you heard of WINDOWS-AS-A-SERVICE? Windows 10 EOL only applies to windows 10 ltsb 2015.

Well they were till the last month in the czech republic. Now you can't even find wd green for under 100 bucks. Don't really know what is happening Edit: they are few other brands that sill offers good prices though I just found out. so if you are able to find ssd for good price, definitely get rid of that hdd

well hardware acceleration is important though. Disabling it does not fix the issue. It only bypasses it

unity games have inverted colors for example. Discord screenshare does not work. Chromium browser sometimes crash because of gpu acceleration..

Yeah the multiaccount guy should definitely calm down

About that... Windows 8.1 is in very weird state. they seem to forgot about it The installer downloads 2021.2 and then upgrades itself to 2021.3. Windows 7 does not work (tested it).

word 2013 finally works?

I’m sorry but I don’t agree merging these two topics. I wanted clean thread that would later add new missing functions demanded by the apps. Now it is a mess and new comments will make it invisible.

I might sound dumb, but have you installed the graphics driver, right?

Today I experienced unexpected thing on windows 7 machine in work. Our proprietary application that we use for security purposes in our company demanded this function: BCryptCreateMultiHash I hope this thread will become full of these missing functions for someone who will in future make extended kernel. By the way the app works just fine on windows 8.1 but does not work on windows 8.0 Edit: I know that this function is also missing in vanilla windows 7: SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext Missing functions: BCryptCreateMultiHash - Bcrypt.dll SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext - user32.dll

Honestly you don't need to use metro apps at all. Once you're at the desktop you don't have to think about metro anymore

I can suggest using Windows 8.1 with classic shell. This little notebook needs every single performance help it can get. Using old not supported windows 10 is just a bad idea by me. Windows 8.1 is the fastest os for slow machine like this one and still gets security updates. It's on you but I suggest downgrading to win 8

But then it should work on 8.1?

Greetings, I've sold my rtx 3060 Ti cause it didn't support windows 8.1 and I was unable to make it work. I'm able to obtain rx 6700 xt. I've found very weird section in amd gpu drivers for windows 7. They include windows 8.1? What exactly is [ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.3.3] ?? 8.1 nt kernel is only 6.3? Thanks for any explanation

No problem! Glad I was helpful

so I've done some research. Maybe this would help?https://www.linglom.com/it-support/solved-rectangular-boxes-are-shown-instead-of-metro-icons-on-windows-8/

Have you tried sfc/scannow Usually it fixes these problems. But you should check your ssd health.
