Although new windows are designed with ease, updating Windows 8.1 is not at all as simple a process, with many users facing all sorts of issues when trying to install them.
For example, some users claim that after installation, Windows 8.1 places a small watermark on the desktop saying, “Secure Boot is not configured properly. Build 9600 ”[Secure Boot isn't configured correctly. Build 9600].
Microsoft he says that this is a known issue with some ASUS PC models and recommends either users to enable Secure Boot or try to set it up correctly from the BIOS menu on the computer.
"Secure Boot helps increase the security of Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 PCs by stopping unauthorized software from running. If you see the message «Secure Boot isn't configured correctly. Build 9600"In the lower right corner of the desktop, this means that Secure Boot is either turned off or not set up properly on the computer," said a Microsoft support engineer.
“To enable or configure Secure Boot, you must use the BIOS menu for the computer. Different computers have different BIOS menus, so you may need to contact the computer manufacturer for instructions. If you have disabled Secure Boot and added your own drivers then you may need to restore the computer to its original state before you can enable Secure Boot”.
Although manipulating the BIOS is quite a difficult process for many novice users who were hoping to get a seamless process informations, it is not yet clear whether Microsoft plans to address the issue and develop a patch to fix the problem.
At this point, the update to Windows 8.1 continues to show up in stores for all ASUS computers, so some of you may experience the issues mentioned above as soon as the installation is complete.
On the other hand, we have to let you know that old machines and peripherals may have a problem with Windows 8 or 8.1. In a five-year-old computer running XP and upgraded to 8, we lost a Chinese camera of unknown brand and control panel of the sound card, because windows 8 just does not support them, and the manufacturers of these peripherals never get an update. 8.1 did not solve the problem.
In other words, specific hardware has been made to work seamlessly for the Software released at that time, after some years things are left to their own devices.
