Guys I'm unable to install gfwlive in Windows 8.1. Previously gfwlive worked fine in Windows 8. For some reasons i uninstalled it, now after Windows 8.1 update, gfwlive won't install. The error code isn't present in Microsoft site and support link also not working. Error code:0x80096010.

gfwlive is dead, games with patch removes gfwlive

Did anyone notice, latest update seems to fix few of my issues which previous update caused.

Issue with startup programs with admin privileges
When Window Key is pressed, it takes half a second more to display etc..

Its not performance that I am concerned about. Right now I have he rig that can handle anything I throw at it, but I just like simplicity, can't bear tweaks and all. I just like the bare vanilla version. Hell my desktop have only 2 icons and my Start Screen is highly organised and so is my Data on HDD.

One of my friend told me that I don't use UI tweaks because I can't configure them properly, so one day I downloaded Rainmeter and some pretty damn heavy themes. Configued them at best possible setting and showed them to him, he was like WTF and then in front of him I removed that theme and uninstalled rainmeter and deleted the setup. He didn't had any words to say to be, he just walked away. :lol::p

Sounds much like myslef. Really liked rainmeter, but then nothing better than a clean desktop (only one icon - recycle bin :D)

I found Rainmeter a couple of years back. Had the Windows Phone theme installed and liked the looks.The irony is I hate Metro UI now.

I'm sorry, what's the vanilla version?

The OS that is supplied as-is, without any modifications/tweaks by any third part. There are custom versions of OS available which have less frequently used features removed, includes performance enhancements (that's not a guarantee) and have GUI tweaks.

Microsoft may make the modern UI optional for both Windows and Windows phone

A floating Modern UI and Classic Start Menu could be in Windows 8.2
Start Menu Could Return to Windows in Spring 2014

This part of news shouldn't be here but another proof of Microsoft gone mad

Rumor: Modern UI May be Optional in Future Windows Phone

So much spent for development and other things and now microsoft looking for alternatives sigh
