Solved: 100 Most Annoying Windows 8.1 Problems

by Jason Miller

When you buy a new PC, it usually behaves very well. Your preinstalled Windows system boots and runs quickly, programs install without any problems and it all works just as you’d expect. But things don’t always stay simple. Your computer will probably slow down. Odd things will happen occasionally – features stop working, for instance. Some of your applications – and maybe Windows itself – may begin to display cryptic error messages, or perhaps crash completely. Some people say this is normal – it’s just the way PCs are, and you have to put up with it – but we say no. Poor performance, desktop problems, misbehaving software? They’re challenges to overcome. And you don’t need weeks of spare time and a degree in computer science to solve these issues, either – most can be tackled with surprising ease once you know where to get started. That’s where this feature comes in. We’ve picked out 100 of the most annoying PC problems – everything from sluggish speeds and desktop deficiencies to boot problems, installation issues, error messages and more – and we’ve had our expert team determine the best solutions to them. So keep this to hand, and the next time your PC starts fighting you, you can fight back. You’ll soon have your system running smoothly again.
