Hello

Sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

Data Execution Prevention, a security feature can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs that try to attack Windows by attempting to run code from memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs, system are stopped. These types of attacks can affect your programs and files. DEP can help protect your computer by analyzing your programs to make sure that they use the system safely memory. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you. It is thus an element of security.

Although it is not recommended, you can have your reasons for wanting to disable the prevention of execution of data on your Windows computer.

Open a high via the Windows + X menu command prompt window.

Then, copy - paste the following and press ENTER:

bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff

If you use Windows 8 or a boot UEFI instead of the BIOS, you must disable Secure Boot until it works.

To disable Secure Boot feature consult the computer manual or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

Warning of the BIOS:

BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

  • Satellite L650-11R: I can not disable the WiFi using Fn + F8 module

    Hello!

    I have a rather strange problem: I can not disable the WiFi using Fn + F8 module.

    It happens after reinstalling Windows. I installed Windows 7 Pro SP1 x 64 (MSDNAA). I installed the driver Broadcom WLAN, then Toshiba Value added package and Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba Web site.

    When I press Fn + F8 there is only a Bluetooth icon, I can enable and disable. And there is no WiFi icon.
    Wireless network card is listed in the Device Manager, it works.

    Before you reinstall Windows, when I had used pre-installed Windows 7 HP, it worked correctly: there were three icons, I could turn off/turn on WiFi, BT and the two WiFi + BT by pressing Fn + F8.

    Does anyone have a problem like this?
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm generally the FN + F8 should switch on / off the Wlan correctly.
    Maybe the WLan driver must be installed again even if the wireless network adapter is already visible in Device Manager.
    Try it

  • Inspiron N7010 can not disable the Touchpad

    I have an Inspiron N7010, Windows 764 bit, it was determined that the hard drive was once again, therefore, dell sent me a new hard drive, I made an image of the system on an external hard drive, then installed the new hard drive without any problem.   BUT after getting thru all the updates I noticed the touchpad has been activated and I always use a usb mouse, so I like the touch pad disabled.

    She used to take a minute to turn it off, now nothing works going on at the control panel and mouse properties gives me NO option to turn it off, I'm pretty sure that the last time this happened a Dell technician downloaded a different driver and it sets like that, but I don't remember for sure.  I went to Dells driver support and let Dells Diagnostic scan my computer and tell me what I need drivers.  I down load them and installed what he said and it came that I already had newer drivers than those it says to download, I just download them anyway to make sure and NOT luck.

    Is there maybe another driver I'm missing, or could I do something out of order, when I installed the new hard drive and loaded my system from the last hard disk image? Everything went very well, I thought, I have NO problem with my mouse external, other that I can not disable the touchpad or the touchpad and it makes me crazy lol. I sincerely appreciated any ideas or help with this.

    Thank you in advance!

    I GOT MY ANSWER!

    I found my driver and Utilities disc provided with my computer and found the touchpad on the disk driver and installed it on my computer and after restarting, I went to my mouse and presto, now I have the RIGHT driver, so I'm HAPPY to REPORT that THIS has been RESOLVED!

    Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    The use of the battery has increased since the update to ios 10. Also, why can not disable the voice command. It's the most boring on the new update.

    Depending on what you mean by "voice command", either:

    Settings / general / accessibility / VoiceOver / OFF, or

    Settings / Siri / OFF

    As for your use of the battery, you can check what app pulls most of its use in the settings / battery.  A new version of the app is sometimes problematic, not necessarily iOS or iPhone.  If you see a unusual % of use of a particular application, or force-to leave it removal/reinstalling it or remove it until an update comes.  If anything seems unusual, it might be a problematic installation of iOS, in which case, you could backup your iPhone and restore it:

    SideWinder X 4 does not disable the left windows key in games.

    When on the windows desktop, he will have the disabled windows key and a small box will popup in the lower right corner, saying he is.

    I tried both Intellitype 8.2 and the latest Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center but they both react in the same way.
    The Bank or the profile is set to number 2 (game) and of course, the windows key is disabled in the settings. Even if I turn it off on THE 3 banks it'll always exhibit the same behavior.
    I tried to implement the individual profiles for the games that I play as well but no luck there either. And re - install the drivers does not help.
    It completely defeats the purpose of this feature. Ideally, she would work on the other hand, being active only in an office environment and disabled in games/full screen applications, but it should at least work as announced, following the rules laid down by the Bank or the current profile.
    In addition, the auto feature does not work with these games or the other and some applications as well. Am I alone in having these problems? I'm ready to completely reinstall windows because it's *.

  • Sometimes I disable my internet router intentionally &amp; Firefox implements a warning window to this being off topic. How can I disable this alert window?

    When I go out or go to bed at night, I disable my wireless internet router. Sometimes I turn off when I just do something that doesn't require me to be online. Whenever I do this, Firefox continues implementing a warning window every two minutes telling me that I have no connection (that I know). How can I disable this window alert so it isn't keep appear in the middle of a game or a document that I do?

    Its an addon, not firefox.

  • EliteBook 2530p. Can not turn on WiFi Windows 10

    EliteBook 2530p, Windows 10 home

    Ive just upgraded the machine above 10 win 10 with the help of this site. Everything works fine except one thing, I can not turn on WiFi.

    The orange LED on the touch screen under the screen and the front edge of the machine are both orange and when I try to use the touch screen to turn it on nothing happens.

    All other keys work fine so I don't think that's the problem. I don't know another way to activate the WiFi on this machine.

    The WiFi card is recognized in Windows 10 Device Manager and I have re-installed the card and made sure the antenna cables are properly connected.

    Anyone had similar problems with WiFi / Win 10 works is not on this machine model?

    Any help or advice appreciated.

    SOLVED

    I'm frustrated, trying to get the WiFi works because it is a machine I was in the process of selling and I had no user file to worry about, I decided to clean install Windows 10 and re - install Windows 7.

    I did this and load all nessasary drivers but no matter what I did the WiFi refused to turn on. I did several searches and HP Wireless Assistant who got the status of 'Wireless LAN' was OFF but the Start button is grayed out so I couldn't activate it.

    While remaining in the wireless Assistant I hit the WiFi button on the touch screen and a message appeared telling me to unplug my Ethernet cable. As soon as it is unplugged the button power on in the Wireless Assistant has become clickable and I was able to turn on the WiFi!

    So it seems that if you connect an Ethernet cable to this model of HP, the WiFi system is disabled and the only way for him help is by unplugging the Ethernet cable.

    I think I'm going to stick with Win 7 because I'm still not sure that the wireless card is supported under Win 10
