Not that it probably matters but its an Acer W4. Works great with the OS aside from this issue that happened with the preview and now with every stinking update on the final version
View 2 RepliesWindows 10 upgrade results in the Network Center not showing any network connections. The troubleshooting wizard does not detect the issue or rectify it. There are a lot of reports on the web supposedly related to pre-installed Cisco VPN or other VPN software.
The downside is that without this feature, crown jewels... Cortana and Edge do not work.
Auto Updates have 'broken' my HP Network AIO Printer's driver. Repeatedly. On all four networked PCs/Laptops in my household. Requires uninstallation then re-installation of printer driver to regain network printer access/functionality. I and my family are just so impressed </sarcasm>Indeed so impressed that my daughter just bought a MacBook. It behaves perfectly.Seriously considering going over to the dark side as it appears that 'it just works' isn't just a marketing slogan.
View 6 RepliesAfter I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro everything was fine on my desktop PC. Several days went by as I learned the new OS' interface. Then I got an update message telling me that a reboot was required for the updates to take effect. Blindly I went ahead and rebooted as requested. To my astonishment after I rebooted my two DVD drives were no longer recognized by Windows 10. Mind you, they were working just fine after my initial upgrade from 7 to 10.
I tried using the registry hacks I had seen on so many of these forums. None worked.
My only fix was to do a restore to a date & time previous to the update. (Just go to control panel, select recovery and then select open system restore.
Ever since I installed Windows 10 some of my devices will suddenly get errors and stop working until reboot or the driver will completely disappear (also goes comes back to normal after restarting).
These are the devices that I've had trouble with:b
- Touch Screen (HID-compilant touch screen) [Disappears]
- USB Ports [Gets Error 43]
- Bluetooth [Disappears]
- Unknown Device (Not sure what this is) ["Drivers not installed." Error 28.]
They all start having trouble at the same time, it's instantaneous and there is no other indicator for it other than the "Device Plug Out" sound. I've tried looking for new drivers with the Windows wizard, uninstalling and then selecting "Look for Hardware Changes" , and rebooting--which, as I've mentioned before, temporarily fixes this.
I've found topics exclusively for the USB Ports error, and the rest just seem to be fixed by everyone through reboot, but I want a permanent solution. Otherwise I'll consider going back to Windows 7 or just leave Windows altogether.
I have a Cherry Mobile Alpha Morph that works without problems aside from the fact that, when I undock it from the keyboard, it doesn't detect that it should now be in Tablet Mode. I have to manually go to the Action Center and toggle it there. Same with docking it back. I have already checked my settings and I didn't disable Tablet Mode either.
how I can resolve this? I just want to seamlessly dock and undock the tablet and it should switch to tablet or desktop mode respectively.
I don't know if it's relevant but the OS is Windows 10 Home Single Language.
I want to connect my Google Nexus 7 Tablet to my PC Running Windows 10 Pro. Previously while running Windows 7 I used to connect without any fuss. Today when I tried to connect this device, I did not find my Device on My Computer.Debugging Mode is enabled in my Tablet.
1 I can see device connected on Safely Remove Device near the clock (notification area). I can safely remove it as well from there. But the device does not show on My Computer.
2 In Device Manager I can find the device as " Android Composite ADB Interface" I have uninstalled the driver various times but when the device is re-connected it connects as "Android Composite ADB Interface". I have re-booted the PC and tried but failed to show up in My Computer.
Under Android Composite ADB Interface Properties - General - it shows as --Type: Android Device, Manufacturer - EaseUs, Location: Port #0002 , Hub #0004
3 In Control Panel - Devices & Printers it shows under the category- Unspecified Device - "Nexus 7".

View 5 RepliesSo, I downloaded Windows 10 a week ago, and checked for updates, but no driver updates came up. But I know that my Video Card was out of date, as I kept getting an error and also, my Bluetooth is not working. Hence my point, is there any third party app that allows you to download and update drivers?
View 4 RepliesWhen I upgraded to Windows 10 I could not access the internet. I tried downloading and installing the latest drivers for my Killer e2205, but that didn't work. I've tried using spare USB WiFi adapters, but that didn't work. I even tried using a PCIe Ethernet adapter, but that didn't work. I've been without internet access on my main PC for 4 days now. How do I get my nic to work again? I've uploaded an album of my environment. I don't think I've had a problem that's seemed this unfixable before.

View 1 RepliesI upgraded to windows 10 a day or so after it was released and now when I go to plug in my laptop to tv via hdmi or when I plug in an old xbox360 wired controller it keeps telling me that it found the updates for the drivers but encountered an error while attempting to install them. It doesn't give me an error code for this. Also when I check the updated center is says it could not install updates and gives me an error: Error 0x8000ffff.
View 10 RepliesMicrosoft has made it mandatory for Windows 10 users to update their computers. From what I understand, they have set the new operating system to automatically receive new updates by default. I also heard from a colleague that Microsoft recently released a tool that can be used to hide or disable Windows 10 updates selectively.
View 4 RepliesIf I go into File Explorer, navigate to any Drive, and right click on it, the File Explorer menu just disappears. Nothing else happens. No other apparent side effects, but I would like to be able to right click on a Drive to view Properties, etc. This has been happening for as long as I can remember. I am running genuine Windows 10. Everything else seems to work ok.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with Windows 10 Pro x64. The notifications that pop up by the system tray won't disappear. They stay in the foreground until I force a restart of Explorer via task manager. It would ordinarily just be an annoyance but the notification often blocks (stays in the foreground) the right click menus of the systray icons which disrupts usage. As you know killing/restarting Explorer also stops any file copies/transfer in progress which is another PITA.
At first I thought it was an issue because it was an upgrade from W8. I did a fresh install of the latest build to a new SSD over the weekend and the issue persists. I have two W10 Pro x64 systems and it only happens on my laptop which is a Thinkpad Edge e531. Both machines run identical software. The only difference is Intel Display Driver systray icon on the laptop. I cannot completely rule out the Intel app but it's such a widely installed application you would think if that is the cause there would be a lot feedback online.
I have a HP Notebook 15-ac134ns Windows 10 Home 64bits from 3 months ago. When I run some programs (at the moment I have detected Firefox, Chrome, Teamviewer, Windows Live MSN, and some others) installed by me, they work normally, but when I minimize them they don't go to taskbar, I see like the windows goes up and dissappears. But program keeps running, so I can locate in running processes.
Then I have to find Explorer process, kill it, and firefow shows up in task bar for a few seconds, so I can click on it and it is accessible again in the very same point it was before.
I have tried to locate the "missing" programs with Alt+Tab or in different desktops, but not available.
I have also tried to pin and unpin the programs to taskbar, but same.
I am running Windows 10 x64, my computer shuts off for what ever reason, power outage or what not. No error message and when it reboots i have no icons on my desktop. I have checked to see if a new desktop was created and that wasn't it. Normally it is off a restart/shut down of my PC but it does not happen all the time. I have check to see if "view icons" is turned on and it is. I have also checked to see if the show icons in control panel is checked and that is as well. I have also restarted my computer manually to see if it will fix itself and that does not work either.
View 1 RepliesAs per title. I'm thinking this might be video driver related as it happens mostly when I'm windowing a game and opening other apps etc.
Problem:
Usually it looks like this:
When rebooted this issue does not happen. After some time, if I open the hidden systray menu, most of them will disappear as I mouse over them. I do not know if it is triggered by opening a program, a background program, time, or whatever.
View 4 RepliesHappened both at work and home. At work cost 250 to fix. It all starts with the start up and icons dissappering on the lower task bar. They just disappear. You cannot reboot you have to control alt delete and get task bar to reboot. This will work for awhile. Then will stop working and you have to send your PC to the shop for repair. The repair guy could not figure out what happened had to finally get rid of windows 10 and go back to 7.
Scary the same exact thing is starting to happen on my laptop at home. Icons on the lower task bar are gone and I have to use control alt delete to reboot to get them back... scary thing is I know whats coming. I just spent $460 in repairs because the shop couldn't figure out why windows 10 crashed a month ago... the icons did not disappear but I lost EVERYTHING eventually had to put a new solid state hard drive and reload everything from backups. almost lost all my years of quicken but Fortunately had outside backup.
