That Asus notebook that I have a battery issue with, is running 8.1 with Classic Shell.
When booted, there is a lot of HD activity, and I"m guessing it has to do with the live tiles that are still there and active. Do you guys disable/uninstall them?

Re: Windows 8.1 and Classic Shell
I doubt it has anything to do with the live tiles. If they're not being shown, they're not running. All I do is install Classic Shell or Start8.
Win 8 and 10 do hammer the hard drive a lot. Kind of normal.
Might also be Windows Update. 8 and 10 do a lot of indexing of updates on power up. Usually falls off after a few minutes. You can verify that by temporarily disabling the Windows Update service and see if the drive activity slows down dramatically.

What Pengo said.
Also, I hate the tiles. I get rid of that.

Re: Windows 8.1 and Classic Shell
OK thanks. I did go through and uninstall/removed them. I think I kept 3 or 4 of them for shits and giggles, the ones that I felt may be pinging the internet for updates like the weather app.
