Windows 8.1 freezes

Postby viking60 » 07 Nov 2013, 10:40

The problems with windows 8,1 continue. For some users it freezes. The mouse can be moved but it is not possible to click anything,
I've had Windows 8.1 installed for about a month and it's been working fine. Ever since a day or two ago though, it's been freezing when left idle for a while. The mouse can move but nothing responds to anything. This problem seems to me to have started after installing updates KB2884848, KB2883200, and KB2895219, although I can't be sure of this

If you Google KB2884848 you will find a lot of complaints regarding this bug,
Could this be due to the hardware restricting UEFI-secure boot?
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

That would depend on a lot of factors. UEFI boot is solely to prevent booting from an alternate operating system, I thought. I don't think it would block its own drivers from itself?
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
