Windows 8 brightness control is stuck on my screen and won't go away

I have upgraded to Windows 8. It seems to work normally, except there is a brightness adjustment in the top left corner of my computer screen and it won't go away. It is about 1 inch long, and it does not work - if I drag the brightness indicator down, it automatically goes to the top. This control is on each screen that I use and it blocks the visibility of what I look at. Can someone help me to eradicate this annoying brightness adjustment?

For me, putting off the power and the monitor got rid of him.

  • Help please - Clip + stuck on USB screen and won't do anything else...

    I just bought a little used RockBoxed Clip + someone Head-fi.

    The first time I plug the thing into my laptop with intentions of matching with my MediaMonkey software (so I can load it with music and manage, etc.), it crashes with the USB icon lights up on the screen and a few other icons. I discovered that even after disconnection (re-login) the device that this display won't go away no. matter what combination of buttons I push or press and hold for a while.

    I included a picture to illustrate what I'm talking about here. I wonder if I should just go ahead and ask the guy to get a refund. Or maybe someone here will know what to do to get this thing not blocked. I tried to look for a pin hole to reset. I saw one at the back of the unit, near the top. I tried using a PIN in the hole, without success (I hope that she is in fact intended to be a reset hole).

    Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    PS - Sorry, I can't get the picture to load here.

    OK, finally got out of this screen after contacting the original vendor (who told me to press and hold the power button for: 20 sec).

  • When I closed my Windows Vista computer, it reached the "Logging Off" screen and seems stuck.

    Sporadically, when I turned off my computer, it reached the "Logging Off" screen and seems stuck.  I walked away from my computer for a returned more than an hour to find the screen always showing "Logging Off" with the small circle in the middle of spinning.  The only way I can close down is to do it manually and then when I use the computer at a later date, I ger the message that my computer has been shut down improperly and I should log in safe mode.  This happened only since I upgraded to Windows Vista.  My computer is a Toshiba laptop Satellite P105-S6147.

    Downloaded Windows 10. 1 week later, I have a black screen. When I turn on the power to all I get is a flashing caps button one am not able to connect. Ilha a Compaq cq62 model.

    I have seen this reported, and the response is not good, sorry:

    "Problems of upgrading Windows 10: black screen after update (new).
    Some users taking advantage of the Windows 10 upgrade are the conclusion that once the completed upgrade their device just gives them a black screen and does not start.
    Microsoft is still working on a fix for this, but it's not a way to avoid it now. Worse, it seems that the problem that happens on multiple PC configurations. For now, we can only suggest using the utilities provided with your backup device and create some external media backup before starting the upgrade in case that happens. If this happens and you live near a Microsoft Store, make an appointment with them to have your device looking if you experience the problem. Some reports (such as those of our comments) indicate that disabling anti-virus programs before performing the upgrade prevents this issue. »

  • Windows 8 does not not to the Welcome screen and the start option advanced

    I met a very strange situation.

    1. I first put my system into hibernation and walked away for a while. Then when I tried to turn on the system, it freezes at the Welcome screen. I tried the strok key (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) but nothing happened. I noticed that the ' FN ' on my laptop works very well! I could turn on and turn off the Wifi with them. But the system has not responded to all other keys and my touch pad.

    2. I tried waiting for the system to respond for a long time. When I noticed that the little light on my laptop showing the status of the HDD stopped flashing, I thought that the system could already went wrong so I hard reboot the system.

    3 then, strange thing that happened:

    (1) first is the logo of my BIOS flashed on the screen and disappeared, which has never happened before.

    (2) then the system told me that he prepares the update. But I remember turning off the automatic update and I had not installed update before the system went wrong. Although I remembered that there is a warning to the login screen that there is some new important updates and I should install them.

    (3) the system is restarted automatically when the increase is 30%. After this reboot, the system maintains hang at as before welcome screen.

    4. I've tried several things and hard reset for many times but nothing has changed.

    (1) I tried to disable the quick start to the BIOS.

    (2) I've tried allowing CSM (disable UEFI in legacy mode)

    (3) I tried to press F9 to start and got into the advanced boot options screen. However, all there hang two! My keyboard and mouse are both inadmissible.

    (4) disconnect all connected to my laptop.

    Then I'm lost. I can't repair or restore my system. I think that my keyboard works fine because I can change the BIOS setting to use. Now, I'm at my wits end with. Can anyone suggest anything?

    Update:

    Turned history that I tried to plug my USB mouse to the laptop. It worked, and when I connect my USB keyboard that works too! But minutes after I logged on successfully to Windows, I got the WORKER_INVALID and restart the system.

    I found this post which has almost exactly the same problem with me (I use an ASUS laptop too!). So I uninstalled my driver warned of the gesture, and then the system has not crashed over.

    But my problem has not been resolved. I downloaded and installed the latest driver of ASUS and always found my touch pad and the keyboard does not. I also realize that even in a different operating system on my system (LinuxMint), my touchpad and keyboard will not work.

    To summarize:

    Now I can use an external device (USB keyboard and mouse). But the built in keyboard and touch pad does not work. The latest driver for ASUS (ASUS Smart gesture) and ASUS ATK Package driver does not work. Strange thing is that when I open the computer, can I use my keyboard and even type in the Linux grub shell. But once the system got loaded, both in Windows and LinuxMint, the keyboard and the touchpad don't work.

    Now, I suspect my BIOS went wrong, but I do not know and do not dare update the BIOS so recklessly. Any ideas?
