Hey @telbanks ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that your laptop screen became fuzzy after a recent Windows Update.

I took a look at the specifications of your laptop and see that you are using the graphics card Intel GMA 4500. This card not a not the addition of drivers available for Windows 8 performance cannot be guaranteed.

If this problem started after the update to Windows 8.1 form Windows 8, you will need to perform a system refresh. You can see how to do this here: How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC. The update will uninstall all the software on the laptop and back to Windows 8. A nice feature of this process, is that it records a list of programs uninstalled on the desktop, so you can easily re-install. This process does not delete your personal files.

You can also follow these steps to prevent it happening again:

  1. Press the Windows Key + R.
  2. Type gpedit.msc , and then click OK. This opens the Local Group Policy Editor.
  3. Go to Computer Configuration > administrative models > Windows components > Store.
  4. Double-click disable the offer was updated to the latest version of Windows and set it on " Enabled".

This should you return to Windows 8 where we are short of things well and prevent it from happening again.

  • Problem with the new update

    Any browser looks graphically unstable and content is empty with the new update, is it just me or is just the update which is unstable?

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • How to set the location of the function "reload the page" with the new update?

    Since the new update, my previous settings have been changed and I can't get back them.
    I could already right-click and customize what I wanted to see, now, I have a "menu open from the things I've decided I don't want to see" option stuck right without an option to not see. Okay so.

    My main problem is that all of my computers I always 'Reload the page' and "Stop reload the page" options to the left of the URL bar. With the new update, ironically designed to make easier user interface customization, they are stuck in a slot inside the URL bar.

    I wonder if anyone knows a way to customize it? Please and thank you.

    Sorry, in Firefox 29 the reload / Stop button drop-down list is not movable. But there are extensions available to restore this preference.

    This extension is popular, for example.

    You understand that you will not be able to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7?  He will have to do a clean install.

    The Council supports Windows 7, you can get the drivers here (the chipset drivers should be the first drivers you install after installing the operating system.)

    PSC 1510 does not communicate with the new upgrade to Windows 7 and the new HP solutions software. However, I am able to print from the PC. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and downloaded the Win 7 patch.

  • BlackBerry smartphones to reach this message to all those who are unhappy with the new update.

    Everyone who is angry with the new update (missing Key Lock, lack of contacts, etc.) please say it here.  Maybe if we get enough people to join on a post, they're going to do something.  I did have to use a password to lock my device actually.  Most of the phones on the market today have a simple way of locking keys.  In addition, the new software seems to run slow and slow.

    Just type that you agree, maybe they will get the idea.

    In addition, when you set a password on the device you can then have a lock on the device icon.  By pressing the K key locks the device as well.

    Without setting the password, then the lock button lock icon on top (see image below) will make a keypad lock regular, similar to the old removed sleep function. AND, you can press on and hold A to lock the keyboard.  K button does not work when a password is not set.

    Hold the button mute for sleep has been removed.
