My W8.1 64 bit Acer XC605 worked OK for some time and still when SSD installed as boot DD. Suddenly it decided to always enter Setup on boot, despite BIOS being set to boot from SSD. Nothing seems to alter this and I have to use f12 every time to boot to Win. Any ideas?
PS: I tried to...
Until recently I had in my notebook a battery.
I removed it due to defects and don't want to buy a new one.
Unfortunately the boot process slows down dramatically.
It now takes approx. 5-10 minutes until Windows 7 shows the Login screen.

Hi
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet today.
This replaces my old iPad and my Kindel Fire HDX.
So far it looks great, fantastic display.

I'm really only...

I have the EXACT same setup, same laptop, same hardware, same programs, same configuration, everything.
Windows 7 never did anything like the problem I now have in Win 8.1...
I got an email from this forum Windows Forums a few hours ago -What's Going On?
I was wondering if any other members here have got the same email? So what is going on admin?
Windows 8.1.1 or Windows 8.1 Update or KB2919355
Call it what you like, a rose by any other name is, still, a rose. And this has brought some pretty rosy stuff to Win 8.1. 8.1 delivered a plethora of cool things to the initial Windows 8.0 platform but, I am not here, right now, to discuss...

A big thank you to Pat (moderator) who forwarded my issue with my username. Also a thank you to the person who was able to rectified the issue.
This Forum looks like it will be much better having all the Windows Forums on one site. Much easier to naviagate on this site.
Cheers
