Windows 8.1 update cursor key
Hi everyone, I hope you can help
I have a HP Envy Sleekbook 4 with Windows 8.1. My very annoying problem, is that the cursor disappears every few seconds weather im typing or scrolling. It is located on every page and I normally use Firefox. I tried to use Google Chrome, but the problem persists. I tried to disable the screen touchscreen and touchpad. The bar at the top right to minimize guard goes gray sense im not more connected to the monitor and its driving me crazy! Nobody else seems to have this prob so I hope someone can help.
Thank you very much! Rob.
Regenerate a Windows 8 will allow you to keep all your programs and settings, which can be transferred to Windows 8.
Only reason I want to say that it is because I think that it will solve the problem.

Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning
Hi guys,.
I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?
It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.
This is simply not true.
If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).
If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.
Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

Hello
Today, I noticed that this free update of Windows 10 is available until July 29, 2016.
I didn't need to date, but will probably have to Windows soon.
Is it possible to install this upgrade for my new iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015)?
I learned that I can install only 10 Windows with Boot Camp, but none of the previous versions.
I have a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD set & key)
and later I bought an upgrade of Windows 8 pro (download and key).
This help and how would it use?
I never had the Boot Camp on this iMac.
For now, I download the ISO from here.
Thank you very much.
If you are running OS 10.11 then Windows 7 is no longer an option to install through bootcamp. MS stopped support of the operating system, and therefore Apple.
If you don't install window 10 by July 29 deadline you don't perhaps more power get it for free or to install on any device for free even if you downloaded and saved before that time. Windows 10 must be installed, so it can bind to a system configuration and report this configuration for Member States qualify for free use. After that this time, he has not stated by MS so the program will remain free or will be a purchase (once or monthly) MS said they will not charge for Windows 10, if it was installed before that deadline, the exceptions are 10 Windows for the use of the company.
If you want to use a version of Windows on a Mac before winning 10 eye in VMWare or Parallels for Mac, or a previous instance of Mac OS X, where the old versions are supported under bootcamp.

Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L
Hello
I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.
Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.
After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.
Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.
The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.
Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.
Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!
Thank you
Michael
Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.
Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum
OK I fixed that.
First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.
It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.
I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

Audio not working do not after Windows 8.1 update
Hello
A few days ago that I have updated Windows 8.1 evaluation to the full version 8.1 and since then my audio doesn't work. In Control Panel, "Digital Audio display (AMD high definition Audio Device)" is listed as disconnected. The audio icon on the taskbar is XE out and clicking on it works the finder error in vain. Speakers no longer appear in the list of devices well now that nothing works I don't know if they have ever or if the audio comes through display Digital Audio. Headphones do not present as playback device and the volume on the keyboard controls and the taskbar are not accessible. I've never used external speakers.
Windows 8.1 update seemed to wipe all my software HP and AMD came with the laptop so I reinstalled the HP support center and looked for a driver updated and all that jive, but all also shows to date. I don't know what else to look for because most of the forums I've seen seem to speak of their output HDMI sound does not work when it is connected to a TV and I just try to have sound, period.HP ENVY Notebook PC m6

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you. It has been a few days and it's quite annoying when all was dandy just before the update.
ChrisHi Chris,
Try the following.
Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59861.exe
One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. If you see a very similar entry for (or entry of IDT) IDT HD Audio , right click on the device and select uninstall - you should also get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall. If there is no input IDT, go just below.
When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu. Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER. Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.
Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete. Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices. 'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176 does not print after update of Windows 10 anniversary update. I've updated two computers (HP Compaq Elite SFF 8300 and E6320 Dell), Hp with 2013 installed Office and Dell with Office 2010 installed. The printer is connected to my network. The latest "complete solution drivers' HP was installed before the upgrade. Printer does not printer-> Printtest properties, error notification appears and asks me if I want to troubleshoot the error. I can see the printjob in the spooler, but it is immediately deleted. Does not print any programs I've tried, with the exception of the notebook HP Print and Scan Doctor! When I troubleshoot with Windows printtroubleshooter, no problems found. Same thing with HP print and scan the doctor.
I uninstalled all the drivers and the Hp programs, rebooted and installed "drivers complete solution." Same problem!
On the Dell computer, I made a new clean install of Windows 10 Anniversery update, from a USB key. Office 2010 installed and 'full pilot solution again'. Same problem!
On August 18, 2016, I found new drivers on Hp. new downloaded web pages "complete solution drivers still" uninstalled all the drivers and the Hp programs, rebooted and installed "drivers complete solution." Same problem!
Among the many solutions, I tried turning the firewall. No help.
I know that brother Corp has sent an email to their customers, there are big problems with their printers/drivers and the anniversary 10 Windows Update. Same problem with Hp printers/drivers?
Someone who has a solution?
Hello!
Thanks for your suggestion of a solution!
First of all, it fixed my problem of printing when I tried with a new user on both computers. Yet, I was a little confused that two updates and an installstion clean "updated anniversary" should lead to a curropted user profile!
Then when I did what I always be with new computers/users, to the environment variables 'TMP' and 'TEMP' C:\Temp for the new user. Printing stops again. Extract a little more and found that users on C:\Temp needed to be 'total control '. 'Change' was not enough. Perhaps one of the new things in birthday update?
In any case, there where the pleasure with your help!

I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.
I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.
In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello
Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software. Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade.

Can not get the latest Windows 7 security updates
you want to say thank you in advance to anyone who could help me with this problem. I was not able to install the new updates of security, and I don't want to leave my computer in a vulnerable state, so any help is super duper enjoyed.
I have a desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1. I bought the parts of the computer separately, so it did not come with a pre-installed Windows OS.
Since about two months ago (when I installed Windows), I was never able to find the updates by using Windows Update. It crashes just on the "check updates" screen I have yet to get error messages, it crashes just on this same screen, with the bar that goes from left to right.
After a week or two, I noticed that Windows has not been activated, and all I had to do was re-enter the product key. Now that Windows has been activated, I tried to look for updates again, same thing, it of just always looking for updates without results.
In the Windows Update window, it says:
Final check of updates: never
Updates have been installed: never
You receive updates: for Windows only
I have some important updates, the value "Install updates automatically (recommended)" every day at 03:00.
I have Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320, status: success, installation Date: 17.8.2016 (the same day I installed Windows)
2 updates installed: KB976902 (installed on November 21, 2010) and KB2534111 (installed on August 17, 2016)
I searched the internet for possible solutions to the problem, and that's what I've tried so far:
I tried troubleshooting Windows update with the tool in the Control Panel, it hanged on "Check for updates online", so not much luck with that.
Scanned with Avast Antivirus computer a couple of times, has never found a virus.
I downloaded the WindowsUpdateDiagnostic tool and tried, I got the following:
Problems found
Windows Update, error 0 x 80080005 (2016-10-16-T-12_49_06P) is not fixed
Registration for the service is missing or damaged fixed
Fixed problems to install the latest updates
Fixed problems to install the latest updatesAfter that, still can't anything when I try to search for updates in Windows Update.
I tried to download and install KB3172605 from Microsoft Download Center update, I had read that the update was to make the search for updates in Windows Update faster. Download was successful. Then, I stopped the Windows Update Service. When I tried to install, but I was left with an error message saying that the update was not applicable to my computer.
Subsequently discovered on Belarc Advisor, downloaded and ran the program. He tells me that I have a total of 148 updates security missing, here is the list:

Can I download and install these updates manually using Microsoft Download Center? If possible, in what order should I install them? Are there any updates in the list that I have no need to get, or updates that should be included in the list? Y at - it updated I could get that would speed up the process of search for updates in Windows Update?
How long can it take to find 100 updates + I need help from Windows Update? A long time I've tried have Windows Update check for updates was like 10 hours, without results. Is it worth trying to leave to search for days even? Also can I disable my firewall and antivirus during this time, or is it too risky? I am reluctant to do it, because I SLEEP in the same room as my computer is in (and the cpu fan can get really loud).
One thing that I thought about just today is that I always shut down my computer at night. Since updates are planned to install at 03:00 in the night, interrupting this process by stopping the computer down every night? Should I try to simply put it to sleep instead, for a few nights?
We appreciate once again, if anyone can suggest what to do in this situation. Responses from anyone who has had the same problem and managed to resolve it might also be useful!
Thank you!

Windows 7 fail - invalid product key
Dear Microsoft - I'm about 10 hours in the direction of your store from competitors...
I have a custom desktop system that took place from Win 7 peacefully for many years. After a failure of the upgrade of Windows 10, I wiped the HD and reinstalled Windows 7.
Problem is that Windows does not accept my OEM product key. Yes, I tried repeatedly, validated I typed in correctly, etc. It's the only PC, this product has been installed on. Card mother and other components have not been changed.
I have wasted way too many hours to solve the created Windows 10 train wreck when he tried to improve myself. Income, I've lost to date would have paid for a new M@C. Thank you, Microsoft.
If you can not help rescue this soon you have lost a customer forever...
See the bottom of the issue of the genesis of this problem.
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_10-update/unable-to-boot-the-operating-system-with-error/beeb74a0-c723-48dc-8F1C-b0e9b88bc0b8
I don't know why you would have displayed a failure to upgrade to backup and updates forum instead of our world class facility forum where we treat these cases by the thousands. We could have helped you sort on the spot and you would have lost nothing.
In the present case is always with the lower upgrade in place, like a factory, install no tech fan would always go in the first place. Not the one who did the vastly superior clean reinstall Windows 7 has these complaints. You can even turn on with the Windows 7 product key after installation.
As for the activation of Windows 7:
Click right button start to open the Admin command prompt
Type slui 4, press ENTER.
Follow the prompts to update your activation ID in MS Servers.
If he fails to stay on the line for an agent, explain the situation.
Reporting results for the other steps if necessary. There is always the last resort to communicate with the Service customer who are responsible for checking the product key and once confirmed open a pension deal to get turned on by any means necessary.
We also volunteers here and not Ms. So threatening to a BONE with 10% of the market is fun but waste of time when we could help you.

What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?
I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).
This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.
I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.
My questions are,
What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?
If it is replaced with the new product key?
Is the OEM product key became invalid?
Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...
What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?
I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).
then, how it actually works?
Thank you very much for the reply.
Kind regards

Hello
No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.
You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.
Licensing rules (my words)
If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.
The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.
The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.
But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.
Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.
See you soon.

I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer is worn and I was wondering if it is possible for Microsoft to have a copy of it.
No, unfortunately.
But since you bought a Dell computer, it provides a DVD of free relocation for each model, which is a clean copy of the OS without the bloatware factory but just a logo and a standalone activation. Order here: need backup Media? Reference Dell U.S.
I would not use the drivers disk unless you need to install the driver of LAN network to get online. Instead, follow these steps to clean reinstall Windows 7, install all your Important and optional Windows updates until no more are available, so all still pilots missing in Device Manager must be imported from the Web page of the Dell Support downloads for your tag number.
Other than that if you still have the recovery partition on the disk Dell and it does not start after restoration of PC Dell Windows 7
Then, you can try to run it manually after the recovery Partition to start using EasyBCD . This also activates the self.
