I'm actually aware of a very significant user impacting bug in Windows 8 (hint: It can cause every process in your startup/autorun list to not start consistently). But have no way to report it to them...

Has impacted my system multiple times since upgrading to Windows 8. Fortunately I know a work-around (eject the optical disc in the optical drive) but still -- annoying that I cannot even report it.




Good luck getting anything done for it.

The bug we found is affecting a lot of Swiss customers (I admit Switzerland isn't so big) and it took a month until I got a useful reply.

Now we have a bug number and were told that the issue should be fixed "early this year" and changes would be checked in in March. Whatever that means...

At least their employees were kind enough to reply to my eMail. But this company should really improve their error reporting.


I might be able to help; please provide contact information.
