Hi,
I've had trouble with Windows 8.1 before and Norton Internet security, and the issue was never properly resolved. I've been using vanilla Windows 8.0 since then, but recently Microsoft upgraded me back to Windows 8.1.
The same problem I had before reocurred as soon as the upgrade took hold. For a few boots Norotn Internet Security worked fine, then the icon started disappearing in the bottom right and the Norton toolbar would call for a system restart before opening the vault.
I'm not sure, but I think the problem may be caused because I'm skipping the password entry. I'd set Windows 8.1 up to avoid having to enter the user password each time, and while this worked fine on Windows 8, I think it may be the cause of the failure in Windows 8.1.
Does anyone out there have Windows 8.1 running while skipping the password entry screen? Do you have intermittent trouble with Norton while doing so?
I'd really like to resolve this once and for all. Any theories welcome. I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit with the latest version of Norton Internet Security.
Thanks for your help
