Envy 15-c101dx: 8.1 Windows reset always available after upgrade to Windows 10 and refreshment?

I tried to troubleshoot and fix a driver of hareware problem that was discovered after doing the upgrade of Windows 10 Windows 8.1. Before updating my system, I was warned by the software that I would not be able to return to Windows 8.1 if I did the update with the upgrade of Windows 10 still installed. My question is if Windows 10 also stop me from going back to Windows 8 if I did a reset of the system?

I played it safe and restored back to 8.1 for Windows before you reset this time, but this will delay upgrading me to Windows 10 in confidence (1 month to try it is not a lot of time).

Hi @hyjiad.

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY x 2-computer laptop 15-c101dx and concerns with the Windows 10 upgrade. It shows me that your system is compatible with Windows 10 drivers. It tells you which driver he would have a problem with?

The best I can offer at this point is to create your a HP recovery USB drive.

Here is a link to Windows 10 FAQ. It gives you that Go Back is a feature that will restore your computer to the old operating system that was installed before you upgraded to Windows 10 for only 28 days. But with your recovery USB disk you can do at any point and time.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

  • I am currently using Firefox in 3.6.27. I want to be updated, but not to "the last and best." How can I view a list of all versions of Firefox that are always available, choose the one I want and download it?

    Does not apply.

    In addition, with the new quick release cycle, the update process has changed. For example, the firefox 8 which was released several months ago is the same 8 Firefox there today. For some releases there maybe an update minor to fix one or two issues, but usually known bugs has waited until the next version which will be fixed. (Example, if a bug was in Firefox 5, it was not set up to 6, etc..). So unlike before, when you could run Firefox 3.5.x for looking after 3.6 was released, and the old version have always updated, this story has changed now.

    There is a downgrade of Firefox 3.6, which was left to the organizations until we found a strategy to support. Something that you might be interested in is the Extended Support Release of Firefox. At present, it is based on firefox 10 and you will receive minor updates for a year, then is upgraded to a version not (for example, next year it will probably be Firefox 17) If you want something that isn't to change that but always has the most recent security patches.

  • TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j040us Notebook PC-problem with internet gambling after upgrade to 8.1 windows

    I have a HP Envy 15-j040us Notebook PC Touchsmart is currently using 8.1 64-bit windows.  I play 2 Farmville on Facebook.  I started having problems after installing Windows 8.1.  My mouse hesitates and reluctant game and I can barely move on the screen.  I am not real computer savy but can follow directions if you can just tell me what I need to do to correct this.  Everything on the screen is just very slow and the mouse does not seem to want to go where I'm pointing to it.

    Hello @aodom ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you have any questions, play Farmville 2 since the update to Windows 8.1.

    First, update the drivers for your graphics (GPU) with the following download: driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

    Once you have done this, update Adobe Flash player plugin with the following download: Adobe - Flash Player

    Once you have updated the GPU and the Flash Player, disable hardware acceleration for Flash on your laptop:

    1. Right click any where on the Farmville game once it has loaded.
    2. Select settings.
    3. Make sure that you are on the tab display/graph (see image below).
    4. Clear the check box to enable hardware acceleration if it is available. If you are prompted to activate the control of your webcam or microphone that these steps do not apply because the game is not trying to use the acceleration.

    Let me know if it helps.

    After my new account Microsoft a link to my original Skype account, I'm still able to sign into account newly merged with the old Skype account username and password. Of course, I am also able to connect to the account merged with the Microsoft Mail and as well password account.

    My question is this, is this a planned security measure? As far as I know, support faq suggested using the Microsoft account to connect to the newly merged account. The support page is in the link given.

    I thought that once the merger of Skype accounts both Microsoft, the only method to sign the merged account is using the Microsoft account only. Please enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.

    This works as expected. When you link a Microsoft account with Skype account name, you should be able to connect to Skype, either by using Skype or Microsoft account name. Two connection options will lead to the same account.

    After upgrading to win8.1, I noticed the speed of internet was slow, I'm on a connection "Ultra-fast VDSL" yet all downloads by wireless are 15 to 25kbs max.

    If I connect the cable to the modem and disconnect the wireless connection, I get 200 to 300 kbs as I should, but then my game of Ryan box can't find my computer, as soon as I reconnect wireless it can.

    OK, maybe two questions here, but to start I would like to help to get the connection wireless operating at the speed it should.

  • Problems with error Windows Audio and Control Panel "one or more of the audio service is not running.

    I'm a bit of a technophobe, but I'll try to explain my problem, I got better.  I recently had a problem with Windows 8 and refreshed my system.  After refreshing, I installed AVG Anti-virus and that's where my problems really started.  After installing AVG I have no sound and my control panel usually pop up.  The box is displayed but there is nothing in it and it sorts just of sticks, frozen.  I tried the fixes recommended to fix my sound. The speaker in my taskbar icon has a red x on it and when I try to open it it goes right to the problem-solving mode, then comes up with "one or more of the audio service is not running.  When I try "run services.msc' and try to start Windows Audio through Services I get error 0x800706cc.  I tried to uninstall AVG and reboot, but it did make a difference.  Please help, this leads me to the madness now.  Nothing I try seems to work!

    Installation of AVG is when the problems started, I would start by undoing that.  Since the normal uninstall did not help, use system restore to return to a work situation.  Check here and use the #1 option.

  • HP Envy 15t: problem of HP TrueVision camera after upgrade to a different version of the factory Windows 8.0

    Webcam is dead.  During the launch of software or application, the light (hardware access) but will immediately switch with loop No.-camera photo/camera.

    It does NOT work.

    Try opening Windows camera - and I can look at device manager freak out and flash camera, without camera, camera, no camera... over and over.  If I turn off the device, then the application stops sending looping error messages and said without a camera. (yes I know I disabled it, but the loop tells me that it is a specific driver problem).

    I uninstalled the device, permis allowed Windows to detect, yet install base driver. Now instead of HP TrueVision HD, in Device Manager it detects USB video device.

    I visited every thread on this forum, visited each Microsoft talked to YouCam, thread AND to HP, I was told to factory reset my laptop, but after 4 times by HP USB restore factory reset did not work.  I didn't want to send in my laptop, it is a driver issue, which is quite clear.

  • HP ENVY 17-j053ea Notebook PC: windows post 10 install; touchpad does not work!

    Hello

    I pray that someone can help me.

    Brought my HP ENVY 17-j053ea Notebook PC early 2014, work very well running windows 8.1.

    In the month of August / Sept upgraded to windows 10 and that s when the problems started.

    My touchpad has stopped working... I tried a multitude of things that sometimes worked, but after a few days the pad has stopped working again.

    The problem started in the month of August on vacation so I installed the following:

    Driver and utility Chipset

    Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver - sp63410

    Rapid Start driver Intel - sp63411

    Smart Connect driver Intel - sp63413

    Synaptics TouchPad Driver - sp63417

    HP Notebook System BIOS update - sp69886

    HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel processors) - sp66941

    The event system HP utility - sp65792

    Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver - sp63554

    This solved the problem for a few weeks, but then the touchpad stopped and started periodically and eventually didn't work for about 2 months.

    While the Forum last night I fought, I found the resolution posted by DanG82 with the title:

    HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT UPGRADE POST-WINDOWS 10 ON HP LAPTOPS

    Follow all the instructions step by step and was hopeful this could work... but it didn't.

    Whereas really return to 8.1 windows because it's so frustrating using a mouse on the go.

    Please please can someone help me?

    You are the very welcome.

    The only other suggestion I can offer would be to uninstall the touchpad driver and software in the menu programs in Control Panel, restart and try this driver synaptics, even once, I posted.

    Or try the driver directly from synaptics.

    Always uninstall the previous synaptics driver before installing the new.

  • Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

    Hello

    I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

    The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

    Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

    Drivers: everything up to date

     

    Long story short,

    I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

    So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

    This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

    Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

    I installed all the missing drivers.

    * Update Bios to F.08*

    I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

    BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

    Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

    The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

    So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

    I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

    Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

    So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

    So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

    * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

    Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

    So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

    Everything went well (I thought!).

    Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

    BUT without success...

    So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

    * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

    BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

    -proximity sensor no longer works

    -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

    -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

    -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

    * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

    So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

    And I was a little shocked by the result.

    Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

    The problem is the Bios!

    Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

    Œuvres F05

    Œuvres F.06

    F.08 does not work

    F.09 does not work

     

    So I decided to stay with the version F.06

    BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

    I installed the driver anyway...

    I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

    Yet more long story short,

    I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

    I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

    So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

    The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

    Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

    Someone else got the same problems?

    What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

    What can I do to solve the problem?

    for me the best driver are:

    http://leshcatlabs.NET/

    Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.
