Satellite U940 PSU6VA - updated to Win 8.1 without following the instructions

I recently upgraded my Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA - 00S 002) of Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows.

However, I didn't know at the time where there was quite a long list of procedures that I should have followed before and after the upgrade (see [http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/]).

After the upgrade, I noticed that the computer is slow, and the fan would never stop. I finally discovered that the driver for the graphics card was gone, and so I used Toshiba Service Station for update my drivers. Now, everything seems to work normally (except that my Wi - Fi off frequently, but happening before the upgrade as well).

However, read the article I linked above, I see that I have not followed the steps correctly.
I do not uninstall the software listed in the annex is before the upgrade and I have improved my drivers without apparent order by Toshiba Service Station (rather that check the Toshiba website for good order, that article says).

So, what I want to know is: this will potentially lead to problems in the future?

Is it useful to do a factory reset and go through the upgrade process again? (I have all the time at the moment, so I can afford to do so.)

> So, what I want to know is: this will potentially lead to problems in the future?

If your system works fine now, I don t think you will have some problems related to the upgrade.
But of course, you might get some problems of system in the future, no matter if you upgraded the system in the correct order. Something like that is not in the order of installation.

However, I have read in this forum that many people had problems with the Windows 8.1 because they did not follow the update instructions. In such cases, it s advisable to repeat the upgrade procedure

But in your case, all seems to work fine

    Salvation without flinching,

    Did you apply permissions to all items included for these files to Adobe?

    Apply permissions to all items in a folder or disk

    1. Select a folder or disk, and then choose file > read

    2. click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.

    3. click on the pop-up menu Action , then choose "apply to the included items.

    and you also have to give all the permissions to the Adobe User Library folder (~ / library) as defined by miguana in the initial post.

  • Ridiculous... unable to perform acorobat drive after having tried to update, following the instructions to uninstall, change browsers, etc. etc. Spent all morning and still can not installed so I have no way to open all the previous documents acrobat!

    I did everything that was asked to update my acrobat reader, who showed on my computer. When I couldn't do in a first time, I followed the instructions, save it to run first to change browsers, etc. etc. I uninstalled my control panel of my acrobat reader program and NOW I can't open any pdf course or install little matter what I do, and how many times I repeat and change according to their instructions. I'm more than embarrassed because I spent the last 4 hours trying to install it and update or reinstall, etc, etc and I have it in my past as a career. It's a known issue, bug, of course, if someone needs to contact me to Adobe and let me know what they will do about it.

    Please help because I know what is happening in the world and I know that Adobe must have a solution outside everything what they propose that do not work.

    Thank you to all those who have different ideas of what is happening on the websites of ADOBE

  • Satellite C50T-A382 - updated to Win 8.1 Pro & touchscreen support

    Dear all

    I am currently the owner of Toshiba Satellite C50T-A382 machine which has preinstalled Windows 8.1 edition in plain language.

    I now want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition, however I'm worried if updated to Win 8.1 Pro, it will support not my touch screen, because I read many comments on the Internet about other brands, like H.P., happens, etc. where users have upgraded to Windows Pro Win SL 8.1 8.1 and their support of the touchscreen is so more than work.

    Very would be grateful if someone could inform if it would still technically support my support for touch screen or not?

    Thank you.

    Concerning
    Tan

    I put t see serious reasons why the touch screen is not working after these updates.
    The driver that controls the touchscreen part of Windows 8.1 System. It s not supplied by the factory for laptop (Toshiba, etc.), but it of a Microsoft driver.

    However, in most laptop cases factory provides own systems preconfigured and tested, including all drivers and additional software. All other systems, own hand are not supported by device manufacturers.

    What does that mean?
    This means that in the case of certain problems (after the installation of another system) you will be always asked to test the device original system preinstalled and preconfigured.

  • Satellite P300 - 19 H: can I install Linux without losing the warrany?

    Hello

    I'm a french so please forgive me for my bad English.
    I just want to know if it is possible to install Linux on my system without compromising my warranty.

    My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 19H
    The current operating system is Vista Premium Home Edition (pre-installation on my laptop)
    I paid for 3 year extended warranty, that's why I want to be sure I can install Linux.

    If it is possible, I have to take certain steps before you try to install it in a Dualboot with Vista?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hello

    You can install Linux without losing the warranty. Toshiba doesn't support Linux on this laptop, but you can install it of course.

    If you want to do a dual boot with Vista and that you are interested in a version of Ubuntu, you should take a look at the Wubi:
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It is a sure way to install Ubuntu on laptop with Vista installed.

    Check it!

  • Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

    _ * My specifications: * _
    * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
    * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

    I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

    ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

    So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

    In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

    NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

    Hello

    See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

    So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

    Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
    You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

    In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

    Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
    Suggestion - let it be.

  • Satellite U940 PSU6VA - recover after removing the software RAID

    * My specifications: *.
    * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
    * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)
    * Storage: * 500 GB + SSD 30 GB HARD drive

    This particular model of Toshiba comes with two hard drives (a HARD drive and SSD) and uses the SSD for caching purposes. I think to disable this caching so that I can use the SSD for other purposes.

    However, according to the observations of MannerhagenVPO in [this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=79976]:
    -This caching is implemented with a software RAID
    -To access the SSD, you must remove the RAID software
    -Once deleted, software RAID can be restored by an authorized Service Professional. Even the Toshiba recovery media will not be able to restore it.

    I'm not really worried about permanently losing the caching features. What concerns me is this: the Toshiba recovery media will always be able to restore Windows 8 (but without caching)? Or the recovery media Toshiba will become completely useless if software RAID is deleted?

    As far as I know the RAID features will be removed if replace you / remove or change the SSD or HARD disk drive.

    In any case, using recovery media created by Toshiba Recovery media creator software you should be able to reinstall the Toshiba preinstalled system

  • Satellite U940 PSU6SA - installation of Win 7 ask for HARD drive drivers

    Hello

    not sure whether to put this under "Windows 7", Mods please move as necessary.»

    I have a ultrabook Toshiba U940 PSU6SA - 02K 002 that came with Windows 8 (not Pro) and I would like to install windows 7 on it. It has a Hitachi 500 GB and a small mSATA SSD 32 GB.
    It works already latest BIOS Toshiba 1.30.

    I turned off safe start-up and UEFI, can I start and start the windows 7 installation from USB, but it is looking for additional drivers that I can't work. I have tried various drivers of windows 7 Toshiba has had on their site for the 940 Ultrabooks but without success. (Driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology, Intel Chipset Software Utility, driver USB 3 and Intel Display Driver).

    I'm unziping the drivers on an another USB and installation is to find them, but they seem not to be what he wants.

    Any suggestions or a guide? Thank you

    What you need is the SATA driver that must be loaded before Win7 installation doesn't start.
    Please download it from here.

    I used to install Win7 on my U940.

  • Satellite NB10T: Want to install Win 7 but cannot change the UEFI in MSC mode

    Hello

    I know that it isn't the best article at the post office, but there is no instance void for my computer (Satellite NB10T) series and this problem is bound to win 8
    I'm stuck at the moment: I disentailed 8 victory because I want to go back to 7

    I am aware of
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
    The problem is that I did not mode Boot under advanced system configuration option; the only thing I can do is enable or disable secure under the Security tab, startup mode which isn't enough

    I also added a supervisor password. It adds a clear keys for secure boot option, but still nothing on the Advanced tab to move to the Csm.
    Clearing keys does not work too.

    I tried to boot multiple linux distro and win7 on usb bootable (theses work on other computers), but no luck. Boot order usb first value of course).
    What can I do?

    Edit: will put some pictures of the uefi

    You posted the screenshots of the configuration of Toshiba utility.
    The boot mode must be changed in the BIOS settings.

    To access the BIOS of the laptop must be turned off.
    Then put the unit BUTTON and press F2 to enter the BIOS.

    In the BIOS, you will find the necessary options: secure boot must be disabled and the UEFI mode must be changed to MSC mode
