Cleaning Windows Update option is available only when you log on with administrator permissions.

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, right-click on disk cleanup, click on Run as Administrator. Scroll the menu drop down and you should see the option of cleaning of Windows Update. Check the box before this option.

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options , the System Restore tab and delete all but the last system restore point.

  • Factory reset after re-installation of windows with a different key

    Hi all

    I bought a laptop HP dv7-7264ez, with 8 pre-installed windows ENVY.

    After installing linux and messed with the boot settings, I need to re - install windows. Because I had not burned an iso of Windows 8 or extracted from my windows product key, I asked a friend to to burn me a DVD with his version of windows (Windows 8.1 pro). I did a reset of the PC of the utility of windows with this new version.

    Now, I try to get my old version of Windows (normal, not pro) for reasons morals and because I can't "activate Windows" with the version of my friend.

    To create a Windows DVD, I downloaded the Microsoft tool and extract from my current product key with this tool. The problem is that the extracted key is the version of my friend and it is not valid to create a .iso for Windows 8.

    In other words, I need to get my original Windows product key!

    You may need to install the driver sata for your model.

    Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

    With the flash drive and the installation of W8 media plugged into the machine, boot from the installation of W8 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and if this is the problem, install W8.

    There is no way I know of to recover the product key.

    It works with an OEM W8 as XP installation disc used for in ancient times.

    You had to match the installation media with the type of product key (OEM, sale retail or upgrade).

    Make sure that the device is not connected to the computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press the power button / stop and volume until what the machine vibrates 3 times or on some devices, it must push the small button near the tray on the back of the camera or SIM).

    Open PC companion-> support area-> update phone software / Tablet-> repair my phone/Tablet blue highlighted. Follow the steps, do not plug your phone until you are prompted to press volume down while plugging in the USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you may need to run Windows 7 compatibility mode (in some cases XP).

  • Factory reset wireless router connection problems?

    Hello

    I recently did a factory reset on my HP6745f desktop running Win7 sp1 and I don't know if my problem is with HP or Linksys/Cisco (my router). I already contacted the support Cisco who reported the problem seems to be "a matter of HP, a corrupt driver or other third-party issue" and then offered to help, for a price. I'm hoping to avoid that if possible.

    This office computer is directly connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. Cisco software was that I want to install that 'control' of my router (called Cisco Connect) and when I try to install the software, I get a message saying: "We could not find your router" (that's why the software will not install) - although I am accessing internet through that router. Even if I try to enter my network name and the password, it cannot find anything. I am also unable to access the router via my browser "168.198.1.1".

    I am unable to connect wireless with the same desktop so, my 2 wireless laptops have no problem of connection at all, which leads me to believe it's something specific to my desktop pc.

    The Cisco Connect software has already been installed on my desktop and it worked fine. I guess my question is: someone has any suggestions for me? This could be a driver problem? How can I identify what (s) for 'check '?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I thought about it! My router can use a "network key" to connect other computers to the router. I guess when I reset my pc all this info has been removed and the router could not communicate.

    I have just created a network key on a flashdrive USB of my laptop, plugged the USB in my office and hop, I reconnected properly. Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate the help.

  • How to factory reset iPad without ITunes?

    Recently, (today), I've updated to latest iOS for my iPad Air. While making a password, I wrote very fast because I have would be turned off. My mother called me for breakfast, so I left it there.

    Just before going to the school, I noticed it turned off and now have to enter a password. I tried until I disabled, and I kept trying and waiting time until what I looked up what to do. I tried to go to recovery mode using iTunes on my laptop (Yes, I plugged my camera), but he continues to have an error. I did it just once and he said she needed a response from my iPad itself.

    So, I would like to know how to factory reset my iPad without iTunes if it is still possible. I saw 10 + forums and websites but none were easy and confuse me a ton.

    Thank you!

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite L750-115 and Factory Reset

    Hello, I watch/read thousand video's / forums on how to factory reset in the Toshiba Satellite L750-115. Everywhere I found that "press 0 during startup. But it didn't work for me. When I try to get help from the toshiba Web site, I can still get my cell phone.

    If anyone can help me, it will be very nice...

    In General, you have two options:
    You would use HARD drive recovery option to recover the computer laptop back to settings factory, or you must use the recovery Toshiba (disk or USB) media which must be created using the Toshiba recovery media creator software.

    But this means of communication should be established as long as the laptop works properly...

    Have you created this support in the past?
    If this isn't the case, you can use the option of recovery of HARD drive, BUT ONLY if the HARD drive and partitions are not affected!

    I guess that Windows 7 is pre-installed on your laptop.
    Well, in this case power unit, then press F8
    Then you should get the advanced boot menu... Choose here: fix my computer...
    Then Toshiba HDD recovery.

    If this is not possible, drive HARD recovery is not possible and the only way of recovering the laptop is the use of the recovery disk...
    As mentioned, if you do not have the disk, you can try ordering this support here:

    3. sign in with your Apple and the password.

    4. under 'Computer permissions' select ' All of authorize.

    5 allow each computer you have, you might need.

    You can do this twice a year.

    After you 'off to allow all' your computers authorized, re - authorize each of them according to the needs.

    If you have authorized out of all computers and had to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - contact us.

  • Cannot perform factory reset to Satellite L650

    Hi team, support

    Hope you will be well :)
    I have some problems and hope that you will help me solve them. Here is the description of my problem:
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 - 17R laptop computer I want to reset to the factory settings. I used the following instructions to do that (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm), but when I'm in pressing the F8 key when starting laptop it appears a list of choices on the display that does not contain 'Repair your computer' or "??" or something like that. The first entry in this list is 'Safe Mode', second is 'Safe Mode with Networking' and so on. Also, I tried the other method described in many places in the internet, which is to press 0 and the whole power button when you turn on the laptop. In this case again, he starts to do things as described in the instructions (example here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5dEOm1EJBw): it beeps, then when I let go of the 0 key, it prints "starting Windows" and shows the Windows logo, after that it goes to market as always and no other dialog boxes appear.

    Issues related to the:
    Is there another way to do the factory reset?
    I have doubts that the "Toshiba HDD recovery" tool of my laptop is corrupted, so is it possible to download this tool on the internet, on dvd disc and install from there? If so, then can you please give me a link of this tool for my model?

    Best regards
    Mihran grabbed.

    Hello Mihran and welcome in the Toshiba forum

    Let's see what's not there.
    First some general info. Each new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled with original recovery image. This image is also saved on the HARD disk on a separate partition. With the factory settings repair my computer option will appear in the advanced start-up (F8 at startup) and HARD drive recovery option can be made as described in Toshiba document you posted in your first assignment. If nothing is changed, this option will be there and you will be able to do the installation of HARD drive recovery again ad again.
    > when I'm in pressing the F8 key when starting laptop it appears a list of choices on the display that does not contain "repair your computer".
    This occurs if you have installed the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc. After having this option to fix my computer will disappear, and you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.
    > Is there another way to do the factory reset?
    Yes. You must use the disk for the installation of the OS restore DVD. After that it all will be the same. Repair my computer option will be available again and you won't be havce factory again.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
