Hi guys,
New here and not great with computers so please bare with me! Have tried running a search across the problem but can't seem to find a fix for my issue.
I'm having problems with "WinRS.exe" - It runs constantly in the background but probably every 5-10 minutes it will suddenly cripple...
Dear Forum,
How are you?
First post in this part of the forum as I have just installed windows 8.
At the moment it feels like a huge mistake as everything is so slow.
I was using the same computer with windows 7 then that wouldn't load so I installed windows 8. Same machine, same software...
My computer freezes on every startup and after restarting 2-3 times. And then it can freeze up at at any random time. I'm pretty sure it's not overheating. I also checked the task manager, my disk and CPU usage was up to 95% most of the time. So I uninstalled a few stuff which I didn't use and I...

Hey guys. I have recently been having some MAJOR issues with a certain program called Avid Pro Tools 10.3.8. I'm posting this both in the Avid forum (which is down right now) and the Windows forum, because I'm still unsure as to which one is actually causing the problem.

This is a very strange issue. I've had a tablet for a week now (Acer Iconia W700-6670) and I want to do the Windows Updates but they just don't seem to work. As in the updates are still in WU like they weren't done at all. I've done them three times now and I don't want to do them again because...
So for the past month or so my computer has been periodically freezing, sometimes half an hour after start up and other times it can be fine for a full day of use. The freezing leaves my computer in a fully unresponsive state (pressing caps locks on my keyboard does not light up the LED...
I found out that Retro UI is a good app as a start menu. The reason is that it allows you to still use the start screen if you want to and adds a task bar at the bottom of your start screen. So, you can use the start screen as an improved desktop. I could be wrong so please correct me if I am...

Are those processes called "repairhelper.exe" viruses?
A little while back, my computer started telling me that over 60% of my CPU was being used up by something, even while nothing was running on my PC. I opened resource manager and it's the .NET Framework installation utility running and not doing anything but using up over half of my processor. I...

I was on a thread and my system slowed down and became almost unusable. I checked Task Manger and it showed Adobe flash as taking 14 % CPU time.
This is Firefox, so I ended the task for Adobe Flash Player and the system went back to normal. The Advertising in the large boxes disappeared and...

Hi everyone. I updated my Sony Vaio E series 14P (model number: SVE14A190X) to Windows 8.1 the other night and I've had an issue with the fan running at full throttle constantly when the laptop is turned on. It doesn't matter if the laptop is in sleep mode or if the CPU is running at 2% the fan...
