  • Windows cannot reset your computer

    My computer says windows cannot reset your computer... Please help me to reset my computer...

    The original product key is embedded in the motherboard of the laptop UEFI firmware, so you're not going to lose...

    If you restore using recovery media HP, which will retrieve the key automatically and reactivate the original OS.

    However, you have already saved your PC running Win10 with Microsoft. So, if you decide to install Win10 instead, as long as you install the same version you already running, once the PC connects to the Internet, it will communicate with the Activation of MS servers and automatically reactivates.

    Good luck

    Hello

    No is the answer to your question.

  • Envy h8: after Windows 10 reset impossible to reinstall win tv software

    I upgraded to windows 10 8.1 all on time and everything seemed fine. Then last week I found that several functions do not work on the PC. As Start button, Windows Store, some of the apps etc etc. Is not too worried but thought I'd reset after having read about it on the Microsoft Web site. Followed the instructions and kept my files but when the PC has finiished I found that all who have been with the PC or software I had installed had disappeared.

    I've always had the installation disks for the software I have installed, but couldn't know how resinstall the software preinstalled, when I bought the PC. Most of it I don't mind, but I would really like to reinstall Win Tv7.

    I remember vaguely seeing awhile back on the resettlement of the recovery partition software but can't seem to do it now and the HP website has only an update for Win TV for windows 8.

    Anyone got any ideas please?

    Gordonmac8

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the problems with Win TV and wanted to help - but we need more information.

    We need the details of your PC product number.  There should be a sticker with this information on the case.

    There is more than one model of your laptop, and we need the specific model number to search for information on this subject.

    I personally found the updates of Win10 to be a mixed bag - a work very well, plus have problems, some fail miserably!

    The only way to reinstall the HP software that is preinstalled on the PC is to use something known as HP recovery media.  It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    If you are interested in this approach, then let me know - and I'll see if the recovery media is available by using the product number of details of your PC.

    As for versions of the software, unless the PC is delivered with Win10 preinstalled HP, even if there is a version Win10 of the HP software, he has no way to download and install it.  So, you would have the same problem.

    We can proceed once you provide the information.

    Thank you

  • Stream 13-c002: 10 broken Windows, recovery & reset fail.

    Hello.

    I bought a laptop HP flow, with 10 Windows pre-installed.

    I burned a set of recovery disks. I also got the product key OEM of Windows from the BIOS.

    Then my broken Windows 10. Cannot start. Get reviews of the process died error.

    Then I tried to recover. I get errors on the recovery of all and reset methods. Tried to 'keep my files', 'erase disc', etc..

    Then I downloaded and installed the unique language of Microsoft Windows 10 N ISO. It installs and runs without error.

    But he does not accept the product key OEM HP on this Stream l.

    I suspect that the store may have updated the computer from 8 to 10, and the OEM key is for 8, not 10.

    According to the HP website, my warranty is active.

    What can I do? I believe that, if the computer comes with 8, then if HP would provide 8 installation disc, that would solve everything. The recovery partition is not, so I need the complete installation disk.

    Or any other solution?

    THX,
    Johny.

    Hello

    Looks like the machine shipped with Windows 8.1 so it must have been updated with the windows 10 - this means generally that the upgraded version would be 10 Windows Home 64-bit.

    As long as the installation of Windows 10 has been enabled, the profile of this material should have been registered with the Microsoft activation servers and reinstall the correct version should translate into automatic start-up; but it is version dependent.  Try to perform a new installation with 64-bit Windows 10 Home as stated in the guide on the following link.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-Windows-10/

    Alternatively, you can order a set of recovery media for Windows 8.1 starting on the link below.

  • Why the Mac calendar window height reset with each launch?

    The calendar application has recently begun to reset the height of the initial window every time I run the application there. I put the location and size of my windows in the application in the manner that works best for me. Apps remind this location and size so that I don't have to go through the process over and over again. Now the calendar app remembers the location and width of the window, but always resets the height at a little more than half of the height of the screen. I have to drag the lower limit of the window to the bottom of the screen every time that I run this app.

    I use Mac OS X 10.11.2 and calendar 8.0 (2092.2) at the moment.

    I have the same problem.

    From what I've heard, many others also have.

    For me, everything began with the introduction of OS X El Capitan.

  • Windows Firewall resets after updates

    Hello

    We are a company who install a server client internally developed software. Our software requires certain Exceptions to the firewall Windows must be configured. But we would like the situation that sometimes, after the updates of Windows, our clients call us with the problems caused by the firewall, and sometimes we found the reset default exceptions. Is there anyway to prevent this as well on the environments that are the Working Group and based?

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Pavailion: Window 10 reset problem

    My laptop seems to be infected by the virus, my knees already have 10 installed windows and the factory recovery partition, I reset my turn twice before, but now I can't because a massage on hprecovey manager says (disabled: the recovery partition has been deleted) Please help

    OK, thanks for the information...

    Bad news, that's what you SHOULD have worked, as preinstalled Win10 PC have all the necessary files to do a factory reset.

    My guess is that the virus has damaged something in the chain of recovery and has to return to work.

    There are various options of HP recovery, so you should read through this to see if there is another option that you want to try:

    If nothing works, because it is a relatively new PC, you need to contact HP customer care directly so that they can put you in contact with HP Technical Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.

    I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.  I doubt they can do it with you, but they should at least be able to tell what you need to do to reset.

  • Windows update reset my settings?

    Never had happened before... After that the latest version of windows update, I started my computer as I usually do... and when I logged on to windows, all my settings has been reset to 800 x 600 resolution (which is all my icons in a colossal mess on the desktop), the color and lightning also changed. Now, that I can handle it, but I also noticed that now I can not play videos! It seems that the video is lagging behind; the image is moving slowly, while the audio is no problem. The quality of the video is also a bit down. (tried WMP and VLC)
    I did a system restore, but that did not help me. No error message or something similar.

    What exactly happened in the last windows update? : S

  • Address in windows explore resets

    When I try to use Explorer (explore.exe) windows to access network locations and try to change the unc path to the directory I want to browse, the address will reset to the start menu in my profile directory.  I can't get through on the first 7 characters of a new network unc path before it resets to the start menu directory new (i.e. try to reach \\serverX\D$ resets after you type only \\serv).

    I essentially open Notepad and type the full unc path that I want and then copy and paste into the address bar.  Sticking and pressing on enter will take me to the network wished before explore.exe location has the ability to reset the address.

    Everyone had this problem very or is anyone aware of a fix?

    This sounds like it may be connected to the "feature" of Windows full Auto.  Try to disable the Auto complete function and see if the problem goes away:
    Panel-> Internet Options-> content (tab)-> 'Settings' in the AutoComplete section.
    Uncheck the option "address bar".  "OK" your way out.

    If it solves your problem, then try to "Clear AutoComplete history" and reactivate the address bar.
