WUDF=Windows User Mode Driver Framework that was introduced in Vista for certain kinds of device drivers (for MTP devices, sensors etc) to provide greater stability and security than kernel-mode drivers.. WUDFHost is the host process for UMDF drivers including Windows Portable Device (WPD) drivers.

SSD means saying goodbye to Windows XP & Vista. On just 1 PC that is

Yes I have this problem with ONE's configuration dialog as well. Even if I check only some of them, all of them get checked the next time I open it.

Auto sorting is not consistent at all. Explorer doesn't sort when you copy-paste, rename or create new item on the root of a local drive, on a removable drive or on a network share. It auto sorts only inside subfolders on local drives. Auto sorting of files in Explorer is like a evil bully b***h snatching something from your hands and running away with it. As for the updates issue, you may not be finding them slow probably because you use an SSD. I was using HDDs until now, I recently ordered a Samsung SSD, once it comes maybe the time it takes to install updates, configure the component store and do cleanup will be significantly faster. That doesn't change the fact that it IS several orders of magnitude slower than XP (remember the terrible servicing stack underwent a rewrite in Vista, when SSDs were nowhere near popular), doesn't do aggressive automatic cleanup on its own and delays logoff/logons with its "Please wait while Windows configures" nonsense. I remember reading somewhere that Microsoft developers are all given very fast machines with SSDs to write code on. Maybe their performance testing gets okayed on the hardware THEY have. They do claim that they test on a wide variety of hardware but I find it impossible to believe that anything like the abominable NT6 servicing stack can get okayed from their performance team. Its truly pathetic, probably the most regretful technical "improvement" over NT5 if you excuse the abominations in the user experience and the GUI/shell/Explorer which can be fixed by Classic Shell, 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, StartIsBack etc.

Many reasons why NT6 sucks. Two of my pet peeves are: - Explorer continually sorts your files while you're still working with them - Windows takes ages to install updates and gobbles up disk space, which takes ages to clean up too
-
I uploaded DisplaySet here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/hrjapq and added a manifest to theme it on NT6.

These are the designers at Microsoft who are considered "cool": http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/06/04/albert-shum-new-microsoft-design-chief/9784345/ I don't know how they conclude that they are successful

^ Exactly my feeling. In the not-too-distant future everything is going to be dumbed-down, walled-gardened, clouded, monthly-subscribed, and in general screwed up for the users in every form imaginable. Enjoy W7 while it lasts, for beyond Se7en lies the abyss ... The same can be said of WinXP. I enjoyed WinXP while it lasted. Still enjoy it with Embedded updates hack. Windows 7/Vista is for many users (including me) already dumbed-down, locked down from customization, and in general screwed up (hence the need for Classic Shell) Windows 8 is only the next-generation of dumbing down. Things will mostly remain at the Windows 8/Apple level of dumbing down for next few years I think. Microsoft suddenly started equating iOS/Android OSes with desktop OSes hence the extra torture for customers.

YAY XPCLIENT IS HAPPY Windows 8 can go DotMatrix itself and NT6 users can please wait while Windows configures updates and auto sorts their files.

My beloved XP can get XP POS patches
)) Suck it NT6 fanboys. Please wait while your computer installs updates and forcibly auto-arranges your files. -
I don't think it can generalized like that. There are areas where the NT6 UI is an improvement in terms of productivity and usability. In some areas, XP's UI is better. (The dreadful always-scatter-my-files-all-over-the-folder-to-make-my-life-difficult mode of NT6 Explorer comes to my mind.) If there's one certain statement that can be made, it's that Microsoft no longer GETS UIs. That skill died after Sinofsky and his minions took over and started destroying classic UIs at Microsoft without any rational or logical benefit and without considering the all-round big picture (focusing on just one benefit of the UI redesign).

Well by no means am I going to stop running XP. It's just that I'll have to be careful now to secure it properly because MS morons never fixed Vista/7/8.
-
Am I alone and crazy in thinking that Microsoft peaked in 2001 and now their best times are behind them?
-
Grandmasoft has "simplified" the Steam version of Age of Empires II HD too. It lacks AI personalities and multiplayer gaming options.
-
If hell really exists, do you think Ballmer, Sinofsky & Julie Green will go there?
-
Besides Start Menu and Aero Glass, what do you miss in the crappy Windows 8 over Windows 7?
-
What will happen to us poor Windows power users if its future is going to be "simplified"? Forced to move to Linux?
-
Does anyone notice that with Windows 8, the fanboys loving it are also getting dumber and attacking anyone who tries to be objectively critical?
-
I'm thinking since it sort of emulates a tablet and since mobile devices are all the rage these days, some people go nuts over it. I personally love the good old fashion Windows before all this eye candy crap and bloated system files took over. So what if the windows have cute little animations or looks pretty? If it doesn't do the job it is suppose to or gets in the way of getting real stuff done, is it really worth it?

What would all the old versions of Windows be without MSFN experts? I love this forum. ♥
-
Windows 8 fanboys, please keep out from MSFN. Go troll some other forum.
-
Has Microsoft turned into a scam? Removing features, not just adding them? You pay to lose some, gain some.
-
I think MSFN is the only sane Windows forum left. All others have been taken over by fanboys who have the latest craze without any objective reasoning in them or little knowledge of Windows.

If Windows 8 fails, it might give me the opportunity to convince Microsoft to fix all the UX issues post XP and it will be proof that I (and many others) were right. If Windows 8 succeeds, it doesn't mean it's a good product, it means the users are idiots, in that case, I will jump ship to another OS that isn't so horrible and made by a less evil corporation.
