Hi everyone, i have just purchased a new computer with Windows 8 on it. I have been doing quite well over the weekend getting around it as previously I had XP. Today though I have come across something I really don't understand. On turning on my computer I received a message "Windows update" Your computer will restart in 2 days! Has anyone else come across this? Surely windows update can't leave you without a computer for 2 days! Fortunately I still have my old one up and running Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated as i obviously still have 48 hours to wait until I can use my new computer again! View the full article

Overall, I'm loving Win 8 on my new touch screen laptop. There's definitely some learning and adjusting to do, but I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a non-touch screen device again. But when using the touch screen, I haven't found a good way to scroll through long pages in IE metro or long lists when navigating my music library in the stock metro music app. A scroll bar does appear on the right side of the screen once I start flicking the page/list up or down. But I can't seem to "grab" the scroll bar to efficiently move far up and down the list. This grab functionality is present in many of the apps on my Android phone. Flick the screen to scroll and the scroll bar appears. Then you can 'grab' the scroll bar and quickly move up and down. If this functionality present and have I just not figured it out? If not, this is a huge functionality shortcoming. View the full article

Since around October, I have been accumulating failed updates. Prior to this, I almost never had a problem. Anyway, there are 26 updates that are failing to install. I have a Windows 7, 64bit. The updates are checked automatically by my computer, and I install the new ones regularly when I have them, but it's getting annoying to find the same number of updates, 26, are hanging up. I have tried the Windows troubleshooter, the one with the Fix-it dialog, to no avail. Here are the numbers (all KB): 2739159 2769369 2756921 2724197 2719857 2741355 2735855 2757638 2785220 2749655 2786400 2773072 2742599 2743555 2726535 2732487 2762895 2786081 2778930 2705219 2732500 2729094 2712808 2736422 2647753 2661254 I've tried to fix this on my own, and I don't know what to do.
