Shutting down Windows is hard
-
I think originally that was a bigger partition, I just shrunk it and never renamed it or something...
-
So..........
Why so many drives? And why are they all full?
Hell, you have as many drives as I have - but mine are all shared drives......
Also every one except
Z:\
is on the same server. Why it is that 3 are offline and 1 online? Who knows...
-
Oh goody. Out of the blue, today, when I clicked the date to make my calendar pop up, it won't. I try my notifications, nothing.
I try my start menu. Nothing.
WTF.
At least I have no problem shutting down: all I have to do is start the game I just bought on Steam and play long enough to be interested in what I'm doing.
-
Yeah, unfortunately the Start Menu app seems to be... buggy. It has an obnoxious tendency to die sometimes.
I haven't really noticed it recently but that would happen all the time on the technical preview

Is it a 3D game? Your GPU's overheating. Open your case and blow out all the gunge.
-
No, it's not all that graphics intensive. My laptop is due for a cleaning though, so I'm hoping that'll help, but it shouldn't be that taxing:
I mean, before the upgrade, I used to play Reus on this machine:
so unless the game designers really screwed up this new game...
-
Hm.
Some 2D games can be deceptive in how much they exercise a GPU, like Braid for example, but those look pretty straightforward.

Did they shitcan everyone who worked on that when they moved to Win8? Why is crap like this happening?
-
I try my start menu. Nothing.
I had that happen once, but a reboot fixed it, and it didn't come back.
-
I know my drive layout is TRWTF.
My computer might as well be a JBOD enclosure. It's got 4 drives that were just randomly stuffed in there. I'm going to add a fifth soon, but I'll have to buy a SATA PCI card to add additional ones after that.

What are you going on about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124020
Perhaps I misspoke. A PCI-Express card. Since PCI-Express offers 500 MB/s per lane, I think a PCI-E card could easily handle multiple HDDs/SSDs.

Occasionally you can be pretty funny, for a Communist SJW Aussie.
Don't hold it against him. He works in a school. Anything less and they wouldn't employ him.

Windows : if you reboot and the problem is not fixed, you have a REAL problem
I know a person whose tagline reads:
"You have moved your mouse. Windows will now reboot."
-
"You have done a thing. Windows will now reboot."
-
"Windows has rebooted. Windows will now reboot."
I've had that happen to me a few times. Multiple reboots during a single update.
-
I think a PCI-E card could easily handle multiple HDDs/SSDs.
Easily. I use a PCI-E RAID card to work around the RAID on the motherboard being shit.
-
"Windows has rebooted. Windows will now reboot."
I've had that happen to me a few times. Multiple reboots during a single update.
"Windows has detected Dwarf Fortress running. Windows will now reboot"
-
So that you come back to your computer after a couple of minutes, see a linux login screen, and go "I'm sure I clicked reboot to WINDOWS".
-
Is that what they mean when they say to do a 'clean install'?
No. That also involves some kind of soap.
-
Yeah, unfortunately the Start Menu app seems to be... buggy.
How does the reliability of Classic Shell compare, running on the same box?
-
Why is crap like this happening?
Because object oriented programming never was a silver bullet for taming out-of-control complexity, and because the world is full of designers who think that everything is a phone.

"Taking care of a few things..."
-
No idea lol - I haven't had enough problems to warrant a switch
-
Thanks to unity, there is no such thing as a game that is "Not very taxing"
yay
If you play adventure capitalist on lowest settings, the frame updating is done in software, making it use 100% cpu. Brillant design
-
Why it is that 3 are offline and 1 online? Who knows...
Cause you haven't clicked on them? Shares (annoyingly) start offline and only come online when you access them. So if you're doing some command line thing, you're screwed until you whack them. (or type "start x:")
-
Did they shitcan everyone who worked on that when they moved to Win8? Why is crap like this happening?
Cause it was written in a managed language where programmers think you don't need to worry about memory management anymore?
-
There's a Group Policy which can be set and delays trying to reconnect to a shared drive until the network is connected IIRC.

"Windows has detected Dwarf Fortress running. Windows will now
<notempty>rebootformat the drive"

And Management, as evidenced by the release of Windows 8.
