  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

• How to fix Windows update configured to never install drivers

  None of my USB sticks work, says no driver installed.  Troubleshooting report says "windows update configured in a way to never install drivers". How can I fix?

  Hi Phil,

  Thank you for your update on the issue.

  1. Have you tried to connect your USB stick with all the USB ports on your system?
  2. You are able to install all Windows updates.

  As you have tried to choose the option always to install the best driver from Windows Update software already, I suggest once, click the radio button for Yes, this automatically (recommended), save changes and check if the problem persists.

  Also, I suggest you try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers and check with the question.

  1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
  5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

• Satellite A-C55-1N1 - how to fix Windows 8.1 after trying Linux?

  Hello

  Laptop: Satellite C55-A-1N1

  In my infinite wisdom, I tried to install Linux in dual boot as my old laptop scenario. I have narrowed the main partition of windows in windows 8.1 first and then installed linux on this partition. After the reboot, Linux worked, but not windows, because I had to disable the secure boot and set bios to the CSM for linux to load.

  After turning on and bios secure boot to EFI, windows boot more. I tried to repair the windows operating system by running the repair of another DVD of Win8.1 tools, but they do not have repair startup. I learned eventually to zero to start takes you to the... except hidden restore partition my not!

  So, I checked the windows and the recovery partitions are intact but I can't access the recovery partition or repair the windows installation with windows 8.1 repair tools. No, I have not all backups, other images or system restore options. Clever, aren't I? I don't have the original recovery partition (which I can't access) and the windows partition to play with. I don't want to lose my license OEM Windows 8.1...

  Any ideas how to save this installation of windows?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You have made the same mistake as many other people. On this forum, we discussed many times how it works and tried to explain how it works.

  In s manuals are described clearly that each owner of the laptop must create a recovery (DVD or USB) media and this created recovery media can be used for recovery image installation where this HARD drive recovery option does not work or if the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced.

  As I see that you do not have this recovery media. Is that HARD drive recovery facility can be started if laptop has only factory settings. Your experience of Linux, this option disappeared and there is no way to start it again.

  What can you do now? I know it may seem stupid now, but if you want to install original recovery image you need to order new media of recovery and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
