  • HP Pavilion X 2 11-h003sa keyboard and the start button

    I have a Pavilion X 2 11 - h003sa running Wwindows 8.1. It's less than a week and without any changes to the system (no software update or driver installs) after a restart, the Start button stopped working and when I try to dock with the keyboard, the start on the tablet button remains lit (but unfounded) and the keyboard does not work. By that, I mean the key and the trackpad do not react, are not all usb devices, and even the charger shows not only plugged into Windows. The orange charging light lights well.

    Weirdest part is the only thing that works - he always knows when the laptop is closed with the connected keyboard.

    Any suggestion or help here would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello, James.

    Your X 2 is perhaps responsible got stuck on something, he is unable to perform; This problem can be self-correcting after a full stop and normal reboot of your tablet. Since it is not always easy to determine the power state of a Tablet, I suggest you make sure that is turned off by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, then release. wait another 10 seconds then press the Windows Start button. You should not feel any momentary vibration when you press the Windows key. When you are certain that the X 2 is turned off, try to start normally. I hope that your tablet will resume its normal operation, but if not, I suggest you contact your region (UK?) HP support because several interactive steps may be needed to determine the cause & fix for your problem; which can lead to a very lengthy process if attempted by the rear "n" following exchanges of the forum.

    Find your HP contact information & support options by scrolling to the bottom of this page, to this you see "On HP" on the left. Click on "Contact us" just below this to see the choices to your selected region or country...

     

    I hope you come back soon with news that your tablet is running normally. However, we will also try to answer questions if necessary.

     

    Good luck!

  • Windows Start button 8

    I have windows 8 and I hate where is the beginning. I wish that my old switch back. How can I go about it?

    Original title: Start button

    Hi Sheryl,

    I wish to inform you that Windows 8 is designed with a splash instead of a boot menu screen. If you want the Start button, you can upgrade to 8.1 Windows and you will see the Start button. The button Windows start 8.1 will take you to the start screen, as you can see in Windows 8.

    To learn more on the start screen, click on the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/start-screen-tutorial

    There are some third party software that can offer the option of a start menu in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. However, we do not support or promote any of these third-party software.

    In addition, if you like the old way menu start working, you can wait for Windows 10 to launch. You will find a menu starting with a lot of new features. To learn more about the next Windows 10, you can click on the link below and see all the videos:

  • Wallpaper, icons, taskbar, and start missing the Start button!

    When I connected my computer yesterday, my office was a black screen dark with no background, no icons, no taskbar and no start button.  Curiously, the 'My documents' folder has been opened and the files it contains coulds will open normally.  Using this file open, I was able to navigate to other files and folders through windows Explorer, but was not able to restore the office via the control panel.  Right click on the screen had no effect, and the windows of the keyboard key is also without effect.  I started the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on 'File', then "Start New Task" and "Explorer.exe" has entered into the box.  It restored the office and everything you still, but the problem is repeated every time that I reboot.  I have run many virus scans, eliminate a virus called "y.exy", as well as some adware in the registry, but the removal of the malware has not fixed this problem.  Is this virus problem, or is it a problem with the Explorer?  Why the monkey (my documents) folder would be always available at startup, when I almost never access that folder otherwise?  Any help would be most apreciated - is not only annoying - I am very worried that the malware may have corrupted my computer somehow.

    Hi rcquinn,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  Start your computer in Safe Mode and if necessary, start explorer.exe task manager.  Then perform a System Restore and let us know if this helps.

    To launch your applications, go to the start, screen by pointing your mouse pointer on the left corner of the screen of Windows 8 and click on it.

    Do scroll to the right and start your application.

    To display all the applications installed on your computer, click with the right mouse button on an empty spot on the start screen, and then click applications.

  • Start button fills the taskbar

    I have the screen task bar on the side of me, and the Start button is stretched downwards to cover the whole thing, it looks like a green sign instead of the taskbar. My computer has been infected by a malware called "malware protector" immediately before what has arrived, and at startup I now get a message saying

    I suspect this is related to the malwear when I Googled it this morning and follow-up of the results of the search, I was immediately infected again.

    The problem is not present when I boot in safe mode

    Follow these instructions, and fix any remaining problems.

    I think you should do the MBAM and SAS scans (referenced in the background) first, then to clean the remnants of the infection.  I had read all this completely through but so you will understand what's going on... then fix it.

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you can't find a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, re chances while your system is currently or has been infected with malicious software.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
    . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
