  • TouchSmart HP ENVY 17-j005ea: Factory Reset how long normally take...?

    Hi all.

    I bought this laptop in 2012 and now it's time to say goodbye to the laptop because I just bought a Pro 3 of Microsoft Surface and flashes of light. Then it is time to back the laptop to factory settings, and I already have an interested buyer. But... I wonder about the time scale of the factory reset. This notebook 2 x 1 TB HDD I estimate about 4 - 5 hours, eventually 5.5hrs to complete a factory reset ready for the new user.

    Which is just that I have not run before...?

    I thank in advance.

  • Is no longer able to install windows updates after factory reset (windows service exception / failure set up the updates of windows roll back)

    So suddenly, I wanted to start my 3 month old laptop, but found that it was getting a system service exception.

    After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to go with a clean installed, this has completely fine until I installed the updates of windows (I have to install these updates to return Windows 8.1)

    After you install all the following updates occurs after a reboot:

    -Default configuration of the windows updates, roll back later, I get a system service exception.

    - Or directly a system service exception.

    These problems are solveable by a system restore to a point that has no updates.

    The next thing I could try is install the updates of windows 1 by 1 to see the update is causing this particular problem.

    If anyone has a way to solve this problem please help.

  • HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC: Can't activate Windows 8 Pro after a factory reset (hard drive reformatted).

    Hello:

    I had to make a drastic clean the C drive of my ENVY 17 laptop and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro to my USB stick recovery.

    However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated indicating that the product key is invalid or blocked. I understand that this is due to having the OS completely cleaned and formatted drive.

    My questions are:

    1. Will be the HP (which is available on order) recovery disks be able to help solve the situation described above?
    2. It will allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
    3. Will the recovery be HP discs/media contain or are marked with the correct Windows product key?

    Thank you

    Rico.

    Solved! HP technical support took care of me Thank you so much.

  • 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.

    Hello

    I do not work for a hardware or software company. Since your machine drivers support site, available for Windows 10, only the drivers that came with your machine (for Windows 8). Driver for Windows 8 above should work as ask you 'pilot missing AFTER factoryreset/windows.

    Kind regards.

  • HP 15.6 laptop "touch screen: laptop stuck in the loop of continuous factory reset

    I brought a laptop that has been the view at Sam model yesterday.  I tried to do a factory reset, but once he gets to "Windows Setup" it makes a continuous loop.  It will start at 64% go to 100%, then restart.  When it turns on, it is always 'Windows Installer' and goes right to 64% and then 100%, then restart.  I started at 22:45 (28/07/2016) last night and it's always the same.

    What can I do to stop the program?

    Hey @GwenC,

    Please try the steps prescribed by my colleague. The path to resolution would play a HP System Recovery. You can learn more about this process here. If you have not already created a recovery media, I advise you to contact our technical support team here: (contact) / 10282847/model https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Pavilion-Gaming-15-ak100-Notebook-/10402445

    Hi there @PhoenixLee79 

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  • Laptop HP 15-g019WM: factory reset

    Product delivered with Windows 8.1 (not sure if 32 or 64-bit).  Try recovery for a friend who isn't technically able.  Recovery HP to factory using a complete factory resets using all DVD 5, created during the initial setup of the machine.  Have since upgraded to Windows 10, but that the upgrade can be done again after a reset complete.  Am page preparation of Factory Image Recovery and I have the lines of reformatting and copying the files audited.  Progress goes to 12% with 18 minutes from the end and process freezes (several attempts and still freezes 12%). After a long wait, an error message appears indicating that the target drive is not connected.  Tempted to use a DVD player external as suggested in a tech forum, but it did not work as the system cannot read from the external drive. Is there a solution to this problem, which does not require disassembly of the machine to take the external drive as suggested in another tech forum?  Or is it a clean image DVD set which can provide HP that won't cause this problem.

    Hello

    The machine originally shipped with Windows 8.1 64 bit (home).

    If you wish to order a replacement set of media recovery for Windows 8.1, you can make from then on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/mediaorder/HP-15-G000-notebook-PC-series/6545564/model/6761879/softwareitem/819421-001/STEP1

    Another solution, if you intend to upgrade the laptop for Windows 10 once again, would be just to perform a new installation of 10 - as the machine has been previously upgraded to 10, a hardware profile (digital rights) will have been saved by the activation servers.

    As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you just create your own installation media and perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • HP Pavilion dv4: can I factory reset with an external monitor attached to my laptop?

    I got a laptop HP Pavilion dv4 entertainment PC. It has a cracked screen and I use an external monitor attached. Can I do a factory reset with the attached external monitor? The monitor is an HP w1815 LCD, case ini that matters.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    I would like to add that I can see on both screens only on screen cracked that I can't see the bottom of it due to cracking. As recovery options are visible on the external display, it would be prudent to start the recovery process? I made a few choice, but I am now at the point choose to 'pull the trigger' and click next to start it or hit Cancel.

    Thank you.

  • Envy of HP Touchsmart m7-J120Dx: help please - Factory Reset failed on HP Envy

    Recently, my touch screen laptop was suffering from extreme "ghost key" that made the laptop basically unusable until what I disabled the human and used only the mouse interface. I went on a popular site that has accompanied me through many scans detailed and determined that it was not a virus/malware issue.

    So, I tried a system restore and that didn't help. Next step was a factory reset picture using the recovery disks that I made at the time of purchase. After 3 attempts, resetting continues to fail. He always looks promising and gets to the 'Welcome to the administrator' screen but then returned to "installing the software" finds himself finally on-screen "restoration incomplete". When I try to record the details of newspaper on a DVD it says that there is not enough free space even if it's a blank 4.7 GB disc. I took a photo of the paper (attached) if that helps.

    On a side note, in the "software installation" process the blinked eye at random and this frame which seemed to be menus drop down open randomly for fractions of seconds in the background... which none appeared kosher to me - but I'm not expert tech. "."

    I have an extended warranty and may end up having to send it, but prefer to fix here if possible. I love this laptop and am at a complete loss here - thanks for any help/advice!
