Not sure where to post this but: I have been helping a friend adjust to Windows 8.1. I put in the Shell extension to start up so it looks more familiar to her than the Windows 8. Every time Windows does an auto-update, Shell gets moved to a "removed app" folder on her desktop, as does her Quicken. Why? How can we change that behavior?
Discussion is locked
reason is because w8 uses a hiberfile between shutdowns and that seems to interefere with software installations at times.
Windows does the update in the dead of night. So I should reinstall Shell then do a reset??
that starts a new hiberfile. Install the shell. Do another reset, anything done in the hiberfile that needs writing to disk should happen. Otherwise you will need to change how the caching is done so it won't write only once, at shutdown.
