    This one installed without any issues on the first try without using the Widows 7 compatibility mode. I will monitor it for a few days to see what happens and post a final update then. Lesson Learned: I ran the Windows 8 compatibility check before I installed Windows 8 and everything was...

    Windows 8 Unable to wake up computer from sleep mode

    I will update the Intel Management Engine. The Avermedia is is the PCI TV tuner card, which I do not use anyway so I have disabled it in Device Manager but will also see if it is showing up in the BIOS. I will run it for a few days to see if the issue is solved.

    Windows 8 Add Start screen to my "Send to" folder.

    I would like to add the Win8 Start screen to the right click context menu in my "Send To" folder. Does anyone know where I would point to to get to the Start page. This would be very handy for adding apps/shortcuts to the Start screen, similar to adding to the Desktop.
