    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Hello guys, thanks for all your efforts with this. I finally got sick of it yesterday and reinstalled Windows from scratch, and the problem has disappeared. Saltgrass, I realise now that last time I reinstalled Windows I also installed the Rapid Response Technology drivers from Asus even though...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    I use Kaspersky normally. I ran a full system scan this morning and it didn't find anything. I then downloaded Avast! and ran another full system scan, and it didn't find anything either. However, I did get the following error: Some files could not be scanned. C:\Users\[My...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Ok, I've taken all of those steps, with interesting results. I'll write them down below: Backed up all four events logs at 8:40pm. System shutdown at 8:43pm. System Startup at 8:45pm. System boot time - 27 seconds. New RED errors: Apps = 1 Security = 0 Setup = 0 System = 3...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Thanks for your reply but I've already reinstalled windows three times this year and I really don't want to go through that process again. The problem I'm having with the restart is exclusive to this install, but there must be some way to solve it without reinstalling the OS. It takes hours and...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    I haven't overclocked anything, nope. I consider it high-spec because it runs an i7-4770k and two GTX 780s in SLI. How exactly do I go about turning back on restart functions? I must have disabled them by going on what I read months ago, as I can't even remember doing it. Thanks

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by "hold to the bottom of the screen" to shut down apps. Is it not enough simply to click 'Restart'? I entered that command into the command prompt and I've attached the .txt file it produced. I've also attached a screenshot of the disk...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Hmm, I'd never heard of the event viewer. I just opened it to find several critical instances, one in the last day. The same critical event has occurred 74 times since March 14th; these are its details: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Date: 2/5/2014...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Restart function takes forever

    Hello, I've Googled this problem extensively but I can't seem to find anyone else who is experiencing the exact problem that I am experiencing. I built a very high-spec gaming PC last August and installed Windows 8. I upgraded to 8.1 later and did not experience any problems until I needed to...
