Pavilion office 550-154na: Windows 10 &; Lock screen customization
Hello
I have a brand new out of the box PC 64-bit HP Pavilion Windows Desktop 10. I learn the tricks of the trade for Windows 10 and, above all, everything goes smoothly.
However, I am struck a problem when customizing the Windows lock screen where Cortana, help and research-online help don't prove useful.
My problem: I can't get the lock screen shows that I'm here. (Perhaps my expectation does not?)
I know that to go to start - settings - customization - lock screen.
In this screen, I chose:
. "Windows features" as my lock screen image.
. "Mail" to "choose application display detailed status.
. "Weather" 'calendar' 'Bank' and 'Messages' to 'Apps to choose to display Quick status ".
'Display the background image Windows on the login screen' is to 'Off' (I don't think this is related to my question).
I restarted.
When the lock screen comes into play, I see a Spot image as well as the date and the current time. The Spotlight image never changes. I don't see anything more. There no indication in the corner bottom right of my screen for mail, weather, calendar, store or messaging applications although each application is permanently enabled and working.
My expectation: when the inside lock screen shots should show current spot image, time / date, some details of the Inbox, local weather conditions (location is enabled), calendar, some info about the Store and info some info e-mail.
I'm still at the experimental stage in an attempt to solve this problem. In the meantime...
1. is my correct expectation? Am I missing something?
2. do I need to already have the Email applications, weather, store and open mail?
3. is there a link between the lock screen and the screen time-out settings? Or are these two elements absolutely nothing to do with?
4. lock screen coup in like a screen saver? How long should it take to kick lock screen? What is available to customize or fixed?
I could on the road to a dead end. I do not know!
I thank you for reading my post and for any assistance you can give.
Kind regards

Hello @johndoc,
Thanks for the quick response!
If you are having problems with the HP Support Assistant, try to review the following document:
HP PC - troubleshooting HP Support Assistant (Windows, 10, 8)
If you still have problems, then you can use the link I provided in my original post, to download the BIOS driver, directly from the HP site.
I hope this helps.
Have a great weekend!

Pavilion TS 14 Sleekbook Windows 8 lock screen and touchpad does not power on
Hi all-
My Pavilion TS 14 Sleekbook running Windows 8 made two updates today this restart required for both. I do not know what updates I updated important updates to autoload. When I tried to "flip" to enter my password to open my lock screen, the screen is nothing but show the waves of energy around my finger. Use the keyboard to open the password page. Tried to go back from the touchscreen keyboard, nothing. Standard keyboard used to type in password, then the touch screen works very well. Someone has an idea of what's going on?
TIA, Kiralinde
Hi Kiralinde,
Not a hard reset will not affect your files at all. If this does not work please reply back with your product number.

What you see is by design.
Defining a custom lock screen is a specific option of the user. These options are not applied until you connect with a specific user account.
The custom lock screen picture will not display that you connect to the computer.
Once you log in, press the Windows key + L to display the lock screen and you should see your custom image.

Laptop HP pavilion 17-f115dx: start window and desktop screen
The problem is the flashes of desktop screen between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop at startup screen. My splash screen comes first, and no problem until I find myself on the desktop, then it flashes between other screens and also the splash screen. I have to control alt delete to close.
I found the solution on another thread-
1. press CTRL Alt Delete
2. go in Task Manager
3. go to the Services tab
4. look to the bottom of the window, and then click Open Services
5. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service
6. right click and select Properties
7. go in Startup Type and change to disabled
8. click on apply, and then click OK
The flashing should stop immediately
Alternative route:
1. press CTRL Alt Delete
2. go in Task Manager
3. Select the file--> a new task
4. type msconfig, then click ok
5. Select the Services tab
6. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service & uncheck
7. click on apply, and then click OK
8 restart your computer & when you connect the flashing should be gone
The first set of directions worked for me, but someone else did the second set because they couldn't do the first.
Hope this helps!

The Article access lock screen customization
When the user is not logged and he is not authorized to access an item to protect, either displays a screen with a lock in the middle and a 'View Purchase Options' button
Is there a way to customize this screen add more information to the user explaining why the content locked to him?
At the moment there is no way to customize this screen beyond the background image (which comes from the article) and the description of the product and the label product (that you can configure in the portal on the Subscriptions tab & product).

How to what a notification outlook 2013 on the windows lock screen 8
I have Outlook Office 2013 2013 in 64-bit and Windows 8 Pro version. In the Windows 8 lock screen, you can get notification for Windows Mail, Skype, calendar and some other app.
Since I use my email in Outlook 2013, so I want to have Outlook 2013 email notifications in the Windows 8 lock screen, so I know when there is new incoming e-mail.
How do I do that? When I go to the windows start screen 8, then right swip, parameters-> change PC Settings-> customize, I tried to add the 2013, but he's not here.
Please notify.
Thank you.
Windows 8 is a finished product, and Outlook 2013 was a finished product even before that. So I think it's a very safe assumption that it will not change in Windows 8 or office 2013.
But remember, Windows 8 is and has always been the automatic built-in ability to display the unread emails for Outlook/Exchange/IMAP accounts on the lock screen. All you have to do is to add your e-mail account in the mail application so it can do. You never need to open, use or see the messaging application. Just set once and relax with the lock screen feature you want.

When you use the bing app you right-click on the screen and set the image of bing of the day as your lock screen. On the account settings, I see the ones I put as the front lock screen and switch between them, but where he stores them on the hard drive?
Thank you
Is not bing Office. In Windows 8, there's a bing app, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/apps?ocid=GA8_O_WOL_Hero_Home_Apps_Pos5_01#Cat=t1. Its at the bottom of this page. In the built-in applications, there is one called bing.
Hello
Because the Bing App works directly through the internet, the images are probably stored in a temporary location.
I installed the Bing app and found the images in the following folders.
C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Bing_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\INetCache
When you expand the INetCache folder, you will see several subfolders that have random alphanumeric names similar to the following.
AO87Y66Y
These subfolder names will be different on your system
Open each of these files and set the large icons view to see the images.
You can save these images in a different folder, if you wish.
Don't forget, these are temporary files and they may disappear when you clear the browser cache.
Let us know if that helps.

How to simulate sending 'windows' key + L key for the lock screen?
Dear Sir
I write the code of provider identification information of the recognition device of vein (usb device) to winlogon in Windows 7. I realized the function XP with Gina.
There are two parts of the requirement for the function, must be acknowledged the vein information and control the system startup, the other is that the screen of the machine must be locked when the usb device is connected to.
For the first part, it should be ok with referring to the example provider of microsoft credentials.
However, I have two problems on Windows 7 for the second part. Please help me.
In Gina, I can create the timer to monitor the connection status of device with the machine, if the device is not connected with the machine, Gina will send the sas order and lock the screen.
on Windows 7, the credentials provider dll is load and unload dynamically, I can't create the timer to monition connection of device status, after logon to the system.
question 1: is there a good way to monitior the device status after login the system?
question 2: how to send the command to the system of lock screen?
Thank you
Shinson Yang
A forum script would be a much better place to post this question. Here is a VBScript that will detect the arrival or the removal of a USB mass storage device within 10 seconds:

ClassCase "__InstanceCreationEvent".MsgBox objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId & "Drive" & "has been added."Case "__InstanceDeletionEvent".MsgBox objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId & "Drive" & "has been deleted."Select endEnd IfLoopTo lock Windows you must run this command:

I have a Pavilion dv6 i3 with Window 7 64-bit. To start the HP logo appears, then I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I ran all the tests start and everything this past. I tried all F8, F9, F10, F11, recovery options with no luck. I tried to start with the ERD Window 7 64 bit I created when I install the laptop. Nothing... I did it with all the disconnected device. No luck. I'm looking for all the options until I re - install windows. I started with the Windows 7 recovery DVD and it reads, but I cancelled the process because it will reformat the hard drive and I expect to work around all the hassels of having settings to reinstall the software, etc.. Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks for the reply. I already tried these steps. I created a bootable floppy that I can get the data on the hard drive and am trying to restore windows to the recpvery of the DVD system that I ordered with the computer. Thank you
