I've been mostly using Win 8.1 lately and see some "interesting" findings.
I prefer Win 7, but some people I help are buying Win 8 PCs, and then call me for help.
So, I've got Win 8.1 now and I'm trying to learn as much as possible.
I don't want this post to start a Win 7/Win 8 flame war.
If I'm going "off-topic" with this, let me know and I'll delete this post ...
On this Win 8.1 OS
I know there was at least one Restore Point (last I checked).
There are none now.
The space allocated for RPs was reset to 0, I know I set that to apx 10% earlier.
I NEVER installed a 3rd party defrag utility on this OS.
I NEVER manually ran a defrag, I let Windows default scheduled defrag handle this.
Just checked and SOMETHING defragged the [C] partiton ONLY a day after the scheduled defrag.
It was NOT the default Scheduled Defrag Task that ran, I have History enabled.
I do use CCleaner file cleaner.
I have been installing several programs and testing them, but the system is "clean" imho.
If this thread is for Win 7 only, I can delete this post.
If anyone is interested in Win 8 "issues", this is what I found so far.
I didn't see a thread about this issue on EF, but maybe this info will help over there ...
