    Only two bugs here, different than yours
    Picture Password does not work ( but 8 and 8.1 has this bug too at times)
    Sleep, it wakes up unexpected but I fixed it until I have time to work on it, I use hibernate instead
     

  2. Well for the past 24 hrs mine has stopped any silly behaviour. Touch wood it stays that way.

  3. Run an Automatic Repair - Run in Windows 8 (same for 10) to check over the boot files to see if anything is wrong with them.

    I'd also establish a Clean Boot by disabling anything in Task Manager's Startup list, then type msconfig into Start Search box, choose that tool from the top, click on Services tab, tick box to "Hide all MS Services" and uncheck everything left.
    This always gives best performance, so I wouldn't add back anything you don't absolutely need ready to use when the PC starts. No Display or any other software needs to Start with Windows and usually only tries to sneak in to spy on you.

    Check also the logs and System Resources which are found in the same locations as shown in Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 which steps to go over the install are almost identical for use here and resolve about 90% of problems.

    What I always do on my installs is to resolve all repeat errors in Administrative view of the Error log shown in tutorial. It tells how to do this by googling the text and identifying number where you will find many others have searched the same error and how they resolved it.

    These addit's will probably get lost and never answered in this thread...*Sad
    They are questions that would get better attention in the Site Stuff forum as a separate issue/thread/question...
    It may need an answer from a TF Admin.
