I never used MinOS in my life, but if I have to I'll try it!

First I'll try SFS 12.

Too late, the graphs are all empty!
Restart te music: 100/100/80/80% and then all go to 0% and that's history.
CPU for XXHE in resource monitor says 50% and in task manager 72%. Something is definitively broken!

For the last description I used core 1-2 and unattended in normal OS.
Maybe I should never have tried 3-5 appointment because there are only 4 cores?

Setting Q3,4,5 to 0 gives 100% for core 4 and 0% for core 1,2 and 3. After the end of the song killing the Engine sets Core 4 back to 0% but 1,2 and 3 go up to about 30%.

And now restarting but still waiting... (15 min.)
Time for some hard action!

Yes, I guess XXHE is doing something in this direction.
Playing a song again gives 100% cpu for 2 and 3 and 1 and 4 are back to zero.
If it's not the cause then at least the solution (partly that is).
Hope you find out more!
(I just see 1 and 2 mirroring and 3 and 4 mirroring,like 1 going up 10% and 2 going down 10% at the same time)
 

OOOOh, this is complicated!

I restarted and CPU was at 2%. Very nice.
I started XXHE and played one song.
CPU1 fluctuating between 75 and 100%,
CPU2 fluctuating between 0 and 25%, totaling (1,2,3,4) 25%.
(CPU 3 and 4 at 0%)

But than... about halfway the 4 minute song Core 3 starts to go up.
all the way to 100 %, then a little lower but core 4 takes over the difference.
After the song core 1,2,3 are about 0 % but core 4 stays at 100%.
Mainly service host processes.

I'll try a restart again...
Ok after restart back to 1% total.
I hope you can make sense out of this?
Now after a few minutes rest I look again and total CPU around 30%. Core 1,2 and 3 working constantly, maybe nothing to do with XXHE?

Haha, it's difficult to explain.
I see svshost take the most but total maybe around 10 to 30 percent.
When I play XXHE core 2,3 and 4 go to 100% in the graphic, core 1 about 25%. Core 1 and 2 are mirroring like there are some spikes for 1 to go to 100% for some seconds and then core 2 goes to about 25%.
In the list XXHE takes about 55% of the total, the rest is unexplained. After the music stops core 1 and 2 go to less then 10% but 3 and 4 are wildly going up and down from 0 to 100% averaging about 50% and the system total stays around 30%.
All this is now with appointment 1-3.
I see Service Host Local Sytem and Remote Procedure and Local security Authority Proces (and Resource manager) taking most.

Maybe 30% at rest is normal for Win8.1?
But why all on core 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 sleeping?
(Now and then I see 'parked' at some of the cpu's)

That's the problem, I don't see which processes are using the CPU.
It's unattended.

Hi Peter,

Yes, that's what I think.
In the resource manager I checked the performance because the tv-program was not behaving like it should and I saw two cores constantly at 100% cpu.
After that I started XXHE (for the first time after starting the PC)
and changed core appointment to 'No appointment' and started the music. Now the two cores first went directly to zero % and quickly after all 4 cores went up to 100%. Music played perfectly...

Maybe the solution is to play some music with Q5 <> 1 before ending XXHE.
BTW, after playing the music CPU went lower on 2 cores, and I stopped XXHE3 with the blue led to the right and this made the cores go up to  100% again.
Maybe for AMD 4-core things go different from  Intel?
Today I will try some more...

Hi Peter,

Just found out why my tvviewer doesnot decode the satelitechannels properly on my htpc.
2 cores are at constant 100% CPU. And I did not even use XXHE after I turned on the PC.
So I started XXHE to see what happens.
Core appointmant was 3-5 (?) and when I changed it to 'no appointment' I saw the  CPU on core 0 and 1 go to zero and after the music started to play all 4 cores went up to 100% CPU and stayed there.
Is there a way to get my CPU back to normal?

The red letters only show up for me at the second song from a playlist since the wallpaper still shows the previous played song.
Luckily i remembered this from the previous version!

Sounds very very good, only stops after a while, have to experiment for that a little more.

Juan,
Your description is right, but like Alain said you need to use the emailaccount initially.
Looks like they want to make competition to Google/Android.
I did not try to get my old account back but I hope it's not too much work.....
This morning my videocard made everything look double, no gain no pain...

Minimized OS still scares me!

Alain,

I had updates on all the time because there is so much to be improved and I trust MS is doing their best now to do so.
(Like I trusted win8 would be better then W7  )

Only unattended, desktop services are on because I like to see what's playing.

And this is the next song playing:

This is what I see on my regular non-music PC:
