You "have to love" Win 8 ...

Someone, somewhere might....

I 'really' only have it on my Laptop...[the 2 installs in VMware and VirtualBox don't really count]...

....and now Internet Explorer is in a death-spiral of crashing...and telling me it has...and telling me it will restart....and do I want to restore the last session...and then it crashes...and tells me it has....and telling me it will restart....

The IT Crowd will tell me to...

"turn it off and turn it on again..."

...which I'll try first....

 

...but I'll bet my left proverbial I'll be uninstalling IE and reinstalling it....

 

Mark my words...eightwillneverbeonmyprimemachine....;p

The Samsung is the critter that's off the scale with read/write speeds

I'll say!!!!  With Win 8.1 loaded on my Samsungs M.2 in my AMD machine, program loads and startup speeds are through the roof... rig boots fully in under 6 seconds.

And no, I'm not waiting for the desktop, cursor and icons to load... ALL are available the moment the desktop lights up.

Had a similar Problem.
One of mine was related to a power issue of an external drive.

The other time this happend was either due to a pending windows update or because of the hybrid shutdown.
Once i used shutdown /s /f  /t 0  the flag whirl did not pause for a couple of seconds without doing anything.

Nope...not the same issue at all....it's more correctly Win 7 doesn't understand DDR4 and the PCIe type of SSD....one that is not even attached to a PCIe slot...but to a M.2 socket.

Things that did not exist when 7 came out...;)
