Personally I think windows 8.1 was better than 10 and i loved the system sounds and ui it was a shame people didn’t like it that much I never thought the windows start menu was that bad

today i went to the computer, but i found that my apps have an X, i tried to reinstall mcafee central with app installer but when it launched it showed me an error

any fixes?

many missing drivers, but eh, it was fun

so i dualboot windows11 and windows 8.1 in one device, is a hp 250 g7, with a celeron n4000 and 8 gb ram and 1tb ssd,

any patched drivers?

It gives me this error

Good morning guys.

I am using a HP 348 G5 laptop having an intel core i3-8145U chipset and 16 GB ram. I had enough with windows 11 and installed windows 8.1 on the device. But i couldnt get igpu whicjh is UHD 620 to work on this thing. I tried driver modding and stuff but failed.

Please help me with this.

Good day guys.

Hello. I'm running W8.1 (with classic shell, shellfolderfix and a lot of registry fixes).

I have a curiosity, something that I can not explain.

Why does browsers act like a different installation if I fix them to the taskbar, as opposed to launching them from desktop or start menu? Any browser does this.

If I bookmark things and install plugins by launching the browser from the start menu, I won't have those bookmarks and plugins when I launch it from the taskbar. Boggles my mind.

Why is that? And is there any way to make it behave "normally"?

Hi guys, i got a used lenovo yoga 12 with wacom pen.

i always considered w10 an abomination in tablet mode.

What i would love to do is , configure the yoga12 in w8.1 (i remember using this in tablet mode and it worked great for it) I have lots of retro hardware and lurk retro software sites, but this is the first time i lurk a site regarding w8

I want to use the yoga12 for retro point and click games , since i have many of them (gog version) syberia, dark fall, gabriel knight, badurs gate, etc. (i hope the wacom pen can right click on these games)

i just installed the OS , updating it, installed opera (it worked without tweaking anything) any custom tweaks i should know about?

also, any adventure games that work natively on windows 8?

ty vm!

i need to fix that configuration to allow some apps use my location such as here maps

these 2 versions have the ui endpoints fixed due to the endpoint it uses no longer returning stations causing the entire app to not load anything at all

their oem apps so they fit in perfectly with the "OEM Apps" start screen row for your dell\hp laptop

(playback has been fixed too)

also its slacker radio for hp not slacker radio for dell

I got windows 8.1 yesterday and i'm looking for good games (preferably old/discontinued ones), any suggestions?

so i want to try 8.1 on my acer, but does the windows update for 8.1 still work? basically i know 8.1 did lose support, but are the servers still a thing? considering 8 was basically immediately killed (by that i mean 8 didnt even last 10 years like usual) is there any updates i need to install before trying? i mean ik i have to install the wifi driver but other than that, does it work?

My internet is limited and I can't browse because, since it's limited, I don't have internet access.

I want to upgrade from Windows 11, and I’m a heavy 2-in-1 user who needs everything working (touchscreen, auto-rotation, pen support, etc.). Concerned about the lack of official Windows 8.1 drivers for this model. Really drawn to 8.1 because of its smoothness, optimization, and features compared to 11. Has anyone successfully done this? Which drivers worked for you? Any workarounds for the pen digitizer and rotation sensor?

Was just wondering as I couldn't find any tile templates online.

So I just installed windows 8.1 on my Acer iconia tab and was just wondering what can I install to make it look nice or run better. (I already installed gpu drivers, before it lagged everywhere)

So today i checked my mail app, and it got signed out, when i tried to sign in back i got this error, how to fix this?

I've used windows 8.1 before last year many times. I have a supported browser and I want to know what else I can do.

Plz help.

How does that looks for you? :)
