Whenever I try to open the Disk Management Service mmc, it is unusually slow. Several minutes to load the disk information. My Ram checks out and the hard drive showed no errors either.
Don't know if its related, but while I was installing Windows from USB flash drive, it took a very long time, 10 minutes, to proceed from the drive options to the copying of actual files. Windows 7 flies by with no problems. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? Thanks.

I can't copy anything from my PC to my Xoom. I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.
Here's what I've tried with no success:
Restarting the Xoom
Copying with USB debugging off
Copying with USB debugging on
Restarting my PC
It won't even copy a bunch of MP3s. I first get a warning about the file not being compatible with the Xoom and click continue. I then get a loading window, but the progress bar doesn't budge.
After a while, it tells me that the Xoom isn't responding.
WTF?
Anyone else experiencing this or something similar?
try this
Use window media player to sync the music files with your xoom. I had no problen doing this on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit machine. I didn't have USB debugging on.
It was the front USB ports on my pc. I switched to the back ones that are built into the mother board and everything worked flawlessly. Thanks!
Weird. I have Windows 7 64-bit and it comes up normally like any other Android phone as another drive.
had similar issues with my brothers laptop running windows 7. Went to throw 2000 mp3s on the xoom and it would copy for a few miknytesbthen the connection would reset and I would have to do it again. Doesn't seem to do that on my XP machine

I had that happen to me once so far. I restarted my Xoom and tried again and it worked fine.
I had a similar problem and now my gallery and music can't find any of the media files. If i take a picture it goes in the gallery, but if I download a picture and put it in the DCIM\camera folder it never shows up. Also no MP3s show up. I tried a hard reset and nothing in the music, pictures, or movie folders shows up anymore.
I wonder if the internal memory is failing. Think I will return it.
On a side note unchecking the sync picasa web albums in the account settings does not remove the picasa web albums like it does on gingerbread... weird.

That's happened to me, as well. But unplugging the USB cable, waiting a bit, then reinserting it fixed the problem. I also had to restart my computer once, as well.
Strange little problem I’ve got here. I’m using the brilliant Asus UX31E ultrabook which is a 1.8ghz i7.
Didn’t have any problems running windows 7, but just installed a fresh windows 8 last week.
I’ve installed all the updates I could find from the ASUS website but here’s the problem, with windows 7 the fans would only ever come on if you were really pushing it playing a game. Using windows 8 the fans will regularly come on just browsing in chrome.
when you open task manager the computer details recognise that it’s only a 1.8 processer yet it often is being utilized as high as 2.8ghz! This is making the machine overheat, turn on the fans and sometimes have to turn itself off.
I’ve been into power settings and reduced the maximum power usage to 70% and that usually does the job, but then it quickly forgets this setting and restores it to 100% (2.7GHZ!). In task manager the highest task utilisation wise is ‘system’ but no idea exactly what it’s doing..
Is there anything I can do to have greater control over the processor speed or investigate what might be causing the problem?
Asus had some power control software for windows 7 but don’t seem to offer it for windows 8.
Cheers guys

Have you done a upgrade or clean installation from windows 8
if you had done a upgrade please do a clean installation of windows 8
if not then go to the advance power settings in the control panel and set processor cooling state to active

I was wondering if it was a true clean install or upgrade. I read he installed a fresh copy nut wasn't sure if that was meaning clean (wiped the drive) or what. I didn't really notice.alot of heat issues with my last laptop I upgraded; I chose to keep personal files and settings. I do have about 180gb of pictures and movies which were scattered in multiple locations on win7. Now my media is very orderly, as well as my 20gb of music.
Saying all that, I believe when I installed the media center that it cleaned up my files, or it may have just been windows 8, but either way it took some work on wimdows8 to organize my hard drive much better than before. I have scanned my hd for the need to defrag it, but it shows to be dang near perfect. If you have alot of media on your machine I wonder if its doing file management, which is making it run hot, etc. I know phones are different but when I load a new ROM it takes it several hours to slow down the media system usage.
How many days have you been running the system with wimdows8 ? Do you have a lot of Files/media on your machine ?

The majority of the time, the issue isn't with the Operating System as much as it is with a single application. Check task manager while your computer is running and see what applications are causing the processor to go nuts. If it is indeed a system application, then I would suggest doing a complete wipe and fresh install of Windows 8. You can back up your authentication key by saving a specific folder in the File Browser. Do a search on MyDigitalLife for that information.
Doing a quick search on your Processor, it runs standard at 1.8 ghz, and the 2.9 jump is completely normal. It's a feature called "Turbo Speed". With Windows 8 came upgraded drivers, which probably enabled this feature that you've never noticed.

yes it is true
whoever each and every application running sometimes FC itself or crashes while operation which leaves a unmarked thread or loos end of the application (which also termed as viruses when they start further spreading the system)
in system which were already troubling you creates a problem due to upgrade
Hi all
Finally got my lovely Nexus 4
Rooted it to jellybean 4.2.1 and then started installing a few bits.
I've run into some problems with the usb connection though. It will frequently appear as if there's no internal memory, or it'll let me in the memory and won't let me do anything. For example, I was putting some files over onto it and the box in Windows popped up as usual with 'copying xyz to internal memory' but just hung, didn't make any progress. Similarly deleting files is troublesome and rarely works, I have to resort to rebooting my machine, reinstalling the Nexus 4 drivers and constantly unplugging and replugging the device.
I had the last straw this morning when I tried to move some photos from the device to my PC which aren't opening, giving me the error 'Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted or too large'. They are normal photos at ~2.5mb in size and work perfectly on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated as it's very annoying now!
Cheers
Anyone?
Are you transferring a large amount of files? The new mtp protocol seems to have trouble with that, at least on windows. I haven't seen the "no internal memory" error you mention but I have had constant corrupted files and crashes while trying to transfer +1000 photos for instance (I'm using stock, unrooted), to the point of making it impossible to finish. See also this bug report here. What you describe may or may not be this issue, but if it is I have no idea what the fix is; I've personally given up.
Hi, my Thinkpad X230 Tablet boots win 8 in just 6 seconds!
see it in action: youtube
My computer is running UEFI "BIOS" and it has a Crucial mSATA SSD.
A) No, it doesn't. Read up on hibernation boot.
B) This has been discussed before...
Don't get me wrong, it's cool (if you don't mind blowing a ton of disk space for a hiberfile, which is becoming a problem on machines with tons of RAM and tiny SSDs). It doesn't improve reboot time at all though, and I almost never just "turn off" my computer. Why would I? You know what's a heck of a lot faster than a 6-second boot? Instant-on resume from sleep.

It is literally 3-4 seconds on my Toshiba U925.
Oh, and for the record, the full reboot time on my Win8 Enterprise desktop (which has a SSD but no hibernation support because 32 GB of hiberfile would be too much of the SSD) is a little over 20 seconds. Still excellent, and a noticeable chunk of that is due to the computer's old-ish BIOS.

I haven't checked the full boot time when the hibernation support isn't invoked. The screen comes up in around 10 - 15 seconds, and I can log on immediately afterwards, but I've noticed that it isn't really fully up for many more seconds - it appears to be continuing to load various subsystems for up to a minute.
Yeah, all OSes do that. XP and before were awful about it, especially on single-core machines; they tried to load everything at the same time and performance went to crap as a result for a while after login. Vista and later introduced a way to launch services with a delayed start, which improves responsiveness during this period dramatically. I'm not sure what Linux or OS X do, but I've seen the same kind of delay on them too.
Multi-core, high-RAM, and SSD-equipped machines have reduced the impact of this to almost negligible levels, although even on my 8-core, 32-gig, SSD-based beast of desktop, the initial login does still take a few seconds longer before being usable than subsequent ones.
This has been driving me nutts and insane.
Windows 8 has the tendency to run all sort of tasks at certain time interval for the sake of Maintenance.
While this is perfectly ok on my desktop with its huge dual core 3 Ghz CPU, the same can not be said about my laptop with I3.
Whenever windows decides to do something, the temperatures spike close to the operational maximum.
So far, I've identified and neturalized some of the following tasks:
Idle maintenance: this is a pain in the ass to disable!
Scheduled maintenance: really annoying, if you happen to be doing something at that time, you're screwed big time (put it at 4 AM, no computer wake up-> took me a while to realize why my laptop started at random times during the night)
The following are things I've discovered by supervising the new task manager
The antivirus apparently decided at completely random times to scan something. I am ok with that (real time protection yada yada yada).
Apparently, some SQL server for windows NT process also starts at random times (no clue what it is and what it does)
Application hosts (network restricted -> I suppose this is some sort of .net Host) also runs at random times, even when PC is idle.
Disk defrag decides it's time to do its job: ofc, at random times,
I can't find any scheduled tasks to disable anymore!
Is this supposed to be the default behavior of windows 8, or is my installation corrupt?

What anti virus are you using because if its anything other than the built in suite then the issue is nothing to do with windows 8 and you should be consulting the software vendor. I dont have a problem with the built in software which only seems to use a significant amount of CPU time when the machine is otherwise idle, otherwise it takes a back seat, its still there but not making a huge difference.
SQL server should not be enabled by default. Its a database software. You can go into control panel>Add remove programs>enable/disable windows features, its in there somewhere. It should also be taking a back seat unless there is an active connection, chances are if you have no idea what it is then you never configured it to even have a port to listen on or a database to manage so it should in theory be doing absolutely nothing.
Application hosts is required, cannot be shut down without causing some problems.
Disk defrag should only run when the system is idle, always has done since vista.

Antivirus is windows defender.
So, judging by your answer, my win8 installation is corrupt. Fine, I just reinstalled it. Let's see if it works better now^^
