Anyone else have issues with Windows 8?

Does anyone else have serious issues with Windows 8 and music software? I have this Samsung touch screen and its taken me 24 hours to get machine, and komplete installed and set up, yet after more hours of pulling my hair out I can't get the Komplete plugins to load in Maschine. They DID load, because I used Massive in Maschine on a track I was working on, but then when I reloaded he project it says the Massive plugin can not be found.

Complete bullshit Windows 8 is. Its slow as ****, even though I have an i5 processor and 8 GB ram it still takes 2 minutes to boot, sometimes more. Programs load very slow. What a mess.

I'm downgrading to Windows 7 today. I'll lose the touch screen capabilities, but I never used them anyway so **** it.

Roll on Monday when I get my new iMac. Sick of this Windows shit.

I think the touch may be more of the issue than the OS. I bought a new laptop when I got my mpc studio I notice many of the 'new' laptops that came with 8 were touch and I intentionally made sure to get one without and have no issues with
any of my apps. I only komplete elements and other VSTs but no issues with any of them.

I agree that if it sux to try it on 7 or disable the touch function and startup services behind it and give it a go.

curious to see how it works for U whether U stick with 8 or go back to 7 but wish U success

I burnt a copy of Windows 7 Untouched, but I need to go get a wired keyboard because the wireless keyboard don't work in the installer. I think it should be fine though. Will grab one from Asda in a bit.

I agree that it might be the hardware. I'm lovin windows 8 so far..... I'm on a desktop tho but i swear this thing boots up in less than 10 seconds!

Yep. I got a generic Dell core i7 with 64 bit win 8 and its boots up fast and runs mpc software fine.

Windows 7 installed and this thing is running like a dream. I can't stand Windows 8 anyway. Back in business and everything runs fine

That's WZUP bro... Someone else would have said it was the MPC or the MpC software, but if was the Micro$oftware that hosts those things...

I still admit I like my Win8 for what I use it for and think more of youre issue may have been the win8 touch.

Glad you're back in biz

I have no idea what it was, but I've not had a single issue with it since installing Windows 7, so I'm happy I actually still have touch in Windows 7 although I never use it. The screen is to far back for me to use it properly anyway lol.

But yeah, the whole Windows 8 layout did not appeal to me sadly Going back to Mac on Monday when the new iMac arrives.
