sorry, I have no idea. This is not documented. And I have the issue in Win8 that I have a 10s delay when I've used AutoLogon.

yeah, pure PR lies as usual.

to see the cause of Windows Vista update/SP failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files: Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the file WindowsUpdate.log from C:\Windows and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log" to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip (dropbox, skydrive, Zippyshare.com, mediafire.com) and post a link here.

open the ETL with the xperfviewer, select the WinLogon-interval and click "Clone Selection". No go to the "Generic events" graph and make a rightclick and select "summary table". In this table expand "Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon" and you can see the 2 entries.

this is ok. I already downloaded the file. Your delay is caused by 2 points: 1.) entering password takes 6 seconds: but the larger delay (53s) is caused by restoring the mapped network connections: So remove the network connections and use the net use command to map the connections on demand (net use X: \\server\share /persistent:No). /persistent:No is important to map them temporary only.

I have no idea. Ask this MS.

can you upload the compressed (7z, RAR) tarce?

the other confusing part of WIn8 SKUs is that if you want to build a HTPC you need to buy Win8 Pro + the Media Pack and got features like Domain Join or Client Hyper-V in a HTPC which you never need there

the issue is now gone. When I now run WinSAT the highest value is 5.9 again. Maybe an update fixed it.

Happy Birthday to Mr Snrub

yes, but it should also work without because this is an user based setting (HKEY_CURRENT_USER). But is doesn't work if I'm rebooting or not.

The Windows 7 Explorer tries to hide empty drives by default. I've unchecked the "Hide empty drives in the Computer folder" option but the drive is not shown in Explorer: When I insert a disk the drive is shown again as expected: Any ideas?

Nice

Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 updtes are language independent so you can use them on all languages.

the only really killer feature of Windows 8 (Windows To Go) will be only part of Enterprise Edition: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/business/archive/2012/04/18/introducing-windows-8-enterprise-and-enhanced-software-assurance-for-today-s-modern-workforce.aspx

this is the solution. Do this.

look at the DISM and pkgmgr logs in C:\Windows\logs

this was a bug in the VC2008 RTM setup. But Windows tries to extract the files to the partition with the largest free amount of space. And in this case the setup fails to detect the files.

if only this edition is focused on WINRT/Metro they can remove the crap from the normal editions.

err 0x8007064C # as an HRESULT: Severity: FAILURE (1), Facility: 0x7, Code 0x64c # for hex 0x64c / decimal 1612 : ecChgPassword ec.h ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT winerror.h # The installation source for this product is not available. # Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. # 2 matches found for "0x8007064C" Windows has issues to find the installation source. Extract the files to C:\Temp\VC2010 and run the setup from there and don't let Windows extract the installer.

I also don't understand the name RT. The only good thing is that there are only 2 main editions and that language switching now works also on the smallest edition.
