Finally, a hotfix for the issue via KB2727113, which should be appearing in Windows Update any time now if it hasn't already.

"On a computer that is running Windows 8 Release Preview or Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate, the system may randomly stop responding (hang) when you work on multimedia or communication activities. This problem may occur during video editing, unified communications, or other multimedia activities.

"This problem may occur because of an issue in the interaction between the state-machine driving dynamic tick transitions and the state-machine-driving clock rate changes."

So from what I have read if you applied the bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes. You need to undo it with bcdedit /set disabledynamictick no so I'll see if this doesn't freezes up again.

Yeah, exact same freeze even with the update. Now I've got both Hyper-V and the Disable Tick workaround and no crash yet, but from my experience with the CP freezing, I could go a day or more before getting hit with it again.

I had that problem as well. I reran bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes then restarted. Then ran bcdedit /set disabledynamictick no and restarted. Haven't had the issue since. Worked fine on my desktop without re-enabling/disabling it.

Huh. That's a curious solution. I'll give it a shot if it stays stable for a couple days like this.

That didn't solved the problem on my MacBook Pro 13" from 2010. Seems that Microsoft haven't fixed the problem entirely :/

I tried the "bcdedit..." fix without success -- I am not sure I have the same issue. My "freeze" seems to be limited to just Google Chrome. The rest of the system responds normally -- Chrome just won't finish loading. I have www.google.com set as my start page -- it never finishes loading.

I will try the "official" fix later today -- but not sure this is the issue I am having.

[Oops! Just saw that a few other people already posted this. Sorry!]

Microsoft release a fix for this.

1. Open a terminal in administrator mode.

2. type (without the quotes) "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes" and hit return.

3. Reboot your system.

I've heard there can be Flash conflicts with Chrome. Check plugins, see if there is more than one entry for flash...

The funny thing is that only Google's websites won't load at start (sometimes, not always). Pin a few tabs with other websites and try it. I'm speaking about Chrome Beta, haven't tried other versions.

I installed the leaked RTM version on my MacBook Pro and I still get random freezes. Now I wonder if this is problem with OS itself or Boot Camp 4.0 drivers having some compatibility issues with Windows 8 :/ (and BTW, this is why there should be a trial version, I don't to find out that OS have some problems on my computer after I bought it)

Same here on my MacBook Pro mid2009, freezes are definitely not gone even without installing bootcamp. At this point I believe it has to do with drivers because I remember that Microsoft fixed these problems with an update which is included in the RTM (and If I do remember well it was even released for Release Preview at some point). It's very annoying

I also have Windows 8 on my MacBook Pro and it works wonderfully...when it's not freezing, I managed to get the trackpad etc. working. They seem to happen most often when I'm wandering around metro so I'm tending towards something related to the graphics drivers.

I tried the Hyper-V trick but it didnt work. Now I'm trying the driver downloaded directly from nvidia's website, let's see...

EDIT: Nope, didn't work. I wonder if it has anything to do with overheating? I did run Skyrim under Windows 7 before and it didn't freeze, though :(

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
