Blutooth in Windows fails

I have my iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core Duo running Windows on Bootcamp and it all goes fine, except for the Bluetooth connections between the mouse and the keyboard. Each time I close down and I reopen Windows, the bluetooth keyboard has to be found and re-connected. Batteries are new. Sometimes I loose the mouse connection as well.
Can anyone tell me if there is a fix for this problem please?

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

  • Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

    Hi All,
    I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
    Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
    Site to Zone Assignment List
    On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
    Log Name:  System
    Source:  Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Event ID: 1085
    Task Category: None
    Level: Warning
    Keywords:   Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
    There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
    I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
    Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
    After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
    http://servername.*  
    *.internaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.externaldomain.com  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.domain/name.*  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.au*  
    *.domain.com
    Is there something obviously incorrect here?
    Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
    "Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy?  Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
    existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
    **Please Note**
    I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
    always correct in the future. 
    thanks in advance for your time and assistance

    UPDATE:
    I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
    The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
    always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
    *.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
    If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
    Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
    I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
    There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
    Anyone have any more ideas?  I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

    Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
    http://*.domain.com, or
    https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
    http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
    something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
    This link might get the creative juices flowing:

    I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
    and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering
    up and running. I hope the guy asking for help didn't listen to that one! : ) - josh

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

    If you restored the hard drive to its original factory-new contents using the Toshiba recovery media, then the problem is almost certainly due to malfunctioning hardware.

  • Boot Up Error 0xc0000034 - windows failed to start

    I came back from work yesterday and found my laptop displaying a black screen saying that "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause" and to repair using the windows 7 installation disc.
    However windows was pre-installed on my machine so i dont have a disc. I left it on during the day so i can only assume it restarted due to an auto update.
    I only got this computer the other day and i really dont need this hassle.
    Any ideas??
    Ta

    > However windows was pre-installed on my machine so i dont have a disc.
    You didnt receive any disks because there was preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk creator.
    This allows you to create recovery disk which would help to restore the OS.
    But usually there should be a HDD recovery option too.
    Try this:
    Press F8, choose Repair my Computer, HDD recovery.
    If this will not help, then you will need the recovery disk. You can order this here:

  • F11 Recovery don`t work - error Windows failed to start

    After downloading MS updates don`t work administrator password. I try F11 Recovery and see black screen: windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause ...
    File: \windows\system32\winload.efi
    status: 0x0000001
    Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required is missing or contains errors.
    ?Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    1) Maybe I misunderstood something, but I thought that the function f11 restores preinstalled Windows from the hidden partition on the disk.
    2) I created a boot disk with Windows 8 Pro on USB and tried to boot from it through Boot manager. Beyond the first installation screen did not go.
    3) As for your advice to contact the dealer, so I did yesterday. The tablet was taken away for examination by 20 days...
    It's very sad, it was a gift to my father for Christmas.
    I work for a long time as the system administrator and am dealing with HP servers. It is a pity that such a reputable company can not provide the quality of their tablets. 
    I advised my daughter Windows tablet, but she wished to have iPad. Now I see that she was right - a year she has no problems with it. Windows tablet - this is not the best choice for a child or an old man.

  • Windows Failed To Start & Startup Repair Doesn't Work!!!!

    I have an HP Pavilion dv5-2135dx laptop... I don't know what went wrong but I randomly have a &quot;Windows Error Recovery&quot; screen when i turn it on: &quot;Windows Failed to Start. A recent hardware/software change might be the cause&quot; and i can either choose &quot;Launch Startup Repair&quot; or &quot;Start Windows Normally&quot; BUT when i attempt to start windows normally, it goes back to the &quot;Windows Error Recovery&quot; Screen. If i click &quot;Launch Startup Repair&quot; it doesn't do anything but stay on another screen and i've let it be on that screen for a whole day and nothing happens. I've tried safe mode and again it goes back to the &quot;Windows Error Recovery&quot; screen. I've tried all the debugging options and it goes back to the error screen. When I shut it down and tapped F10 to enter the bios menu, i went under the diagnostic tab and ran both the Hard Drive Test and Memory Test. Here are the results:<br>Primary Hard Drive Test- Hard Disk Full (305)<br>Memory Test- Passed<br>But i have no idea what that means because my laptop is brand new and it has 500gb... so the harddrive shouldnt be full. I'm in need of help because I don't know what to do after looking through abunch of forums... Please help me.

    Hi i have almost the same problem but my labtop is an Hp HDX 16 and it dosent let me start up eather it goes into a blank screen and i also did the start up recovery and nothing i dont know what else todo

  • Windows Failed To Start (Windows 7)

    I am not 100% sure where to post this, but I saw a similar post here, but not with the exact problem. 
    My spouse was playing a video game on the laptop when it suddenly shut down and when he rebooted the computer it gave him the error "Windows Failed to Start.  A recent hardware or software chage might have caused the issue after you install Windows Updates."  Well the two options we have are the repair function and to start windows normally.  The repair funtion said the memory was fine, but we could not do anything else with the repair.
    We tried pressing F8 to get the computer in safe mode, but when you click on safe mode you go right back to the error screen. 
    When pressing F11 to try a system recovery, it also goes right back to the error screen.
    We do not have the original windows disk to try a repair that way since the computer was given to us by a family member and the disks were not included.
    Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.

    Where did you see version is Vista? Some models that I have seen have Vista listed in BIOS-but actually have Windows 7 installed.
    Can you check the COA label wih license key attached to bottom of laptop & let us know if the version is Vista or Windows 7.

  • WIndows failed to start. (0xc0000225); cannot run Safe Mode and no install disc

    Hello,
    I am currently having a huge problem where my computer is stuck on "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the case. To fix the problem:..." (SEE IMAGE)
    I have tried finding solutions online but none have worked. My computer DOES NOT go to safe mode if I press F8 nor do I have an 'installation disc'. In fact, I tried the recovery discs from my brother's laptop and the computer doesn't even recognize that they're
    in the disc tray.
    My computer is an Acer Aspire M3470 running Windows 7 Home Prem OA.
    If it helps, this occurred when I tried running Spybot S&D due to Malwarebytes refusing to start up (pretty sure I had a virus of some sort).
    The other image is what shows before the error screen; pressing CTRL-F does nothing.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have obtained an installation ISO and put it on both a disc and USB but neither work. I get a blue screen with the following text and cannot proceed no matter what I press:
    "RECOVERY You pc needs to be repaired. The application or operating system could not be uploaded because a required file is missing or contains errors...
    File:\WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi Error code: 0xc0000225
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media, contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

  • Windows failed to start, please insert windows disk

    Hello,
    I have a HP envy 17 3d,
    When I turn my laptop on it says the following.
    Windows failed to start, a recent hardware or software change might be the problem.
    \Boot\BCD
    0XC/000000f
    An error occurred whilst trying to read the boot configuration data.
    I don't have a windows disk but a computer repair guy is bringing one over later. I just wanted to make sure I know everything I need to know, I want to avoid loosing any data!
    Thank you
    Erin

    The BCD store can be recovered by someone who knows what they are doing.  
    If you have a usb HP recovery flash drive you can access Windows startup repair.
    There is aslo a utility called EasyBCD that will allow you to repair an issue like this easily as well.
    BTW it always helps if you state which operating system is installed. That way we can be on the same page. Since the error is BCD then I already know that it is a Windows & or Windows 8 (.1) OS, but it helps us to know for certain. 
    The tutorial on the following web page shows what the computer guy is likely to do to resolve the issue if your notebook has a MBR formatted disk.

  • Windows failed to start. Required device inaccessible.

    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change could be the cause. The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible . Both hard disk and memory test passed. Please let me know what can be done. I think it's battery issue because it says battery problem but even if I remove the battery it's not going to windows home screen. Also tried I'm safe mode, did not work.

    Hi @San16,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a great  place to find answers and tips!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp that when you start your notebook you are seeing " The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
    Here is a link to  HP Notebook PCs - Resolve Boot Device Not Found Error Message (Windows 8, 7).  As you have already tested the hard drive and memory you can omit that step.
    If a recovery should be required, you will have an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss during that process. The link for the recovery process is in the document provided.
    Here is a link to HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7) should it be needed.

  • Windows Failed To Start

    Hi,
    I own a Lenovo Ideacentre All-in-one A700. OS is Windows 7 64 Bit. Recently I did a bluetooth software update which got stuck in between and I restarted the system. Ever since that, I get a message from Windows Boot Manager saying "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
    2. Choose your language settings and click next.
    3. Click "repair your computer"
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
    I do not have the OS CD nor have I created the system restore disks. What I do have is the backup of all my data in drive D. Now, when I contacted lenovo through e-mail, they asked me to use One Key Recovery (OKR) and repair my system. I tried using that but then when I tried to take the backup of my files I get a message saying "The Image file is not valid." I did a bit of research in lenovo forums and found out that those whose OKR version is older than 7 face this issue. I checked up my OKR version and found it to be 3.
    Here is the link : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/hk/en/HintsandTips/hints_show_13263616724030.html
    I have tried all the other options to load my OS including safe mode, safe mode with command prompt and last known good configuration but it comes back to the same screen. I am also unable to update my OKR to the latest version. I have a lot of important files located in my system. Now, can someone please help/guide me as to what I should do in order to use the backup created already in D drive and restore my system.
    Thanks for all the Help !!

    Well sorry to say this, but if you look that error up in Microsoft or a internet search it means the HDD is bad.
    The only thing I can recommend is to try and take the HDD out and pull the Data from another PC or boot Linux and see if you can copy your Data that way.
    Hopefully you can still save your data.
    Good luck.

  • Windows failed to start. winload.exe corrupt

    Been having a few problems with my Equius so decided to boot, do F8, and do a toshiba system restore.
    Started up, and began formatting the disk. All of a sudden it blue screened.
    Trouble is now I cant even boot that far to get the recovery/restore option. I get :-
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
    cause. . .
    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
    Status:0xc000000f
    Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
    missing or corrupt.
    Not sure how it all works but I assume the recovery stuff is stored on a separate partition. Trouble is I guess you need to be able to start to load windows before you can even get to this?
    I've downloaded and tried a vista boot recovery disk with no joy, and of course, toshiba dont supply a vista disk. How on earth do I recover from this situation?

    Hello
    At first I must say that I cannot understand why you didnt write which Equium do you have exactly?
    Such info is always good for better understanding and discussion.
    So, if recovery media was not delivered I think you have newest notebook model. Recovery media is not delivered with new notebooks and it must be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". This software is preinstalled on all new Vista notebook. it can happen that people don't think about it and because of that Toshiba has designed small reminder with follow content:
    +*Important INFORMATION*+
    +*your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. If you need to repair*+
    +*your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly*+
    +*from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"*+
    +*and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.*+
    +*Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator"*+
    +*to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer gets seriously damaged.*+
    So now the question: Have you seen this reminder? Have you ignored it? Have you started preinstalled OS at the first day?
    What you have done exactly?
    Sorry for all those questions but lot of people make big mistake: they don't even start preinstalled Vista and install WXP immediately.
    On this way you will not be able to create recovery DVD and you will also loose F8 option to install Vista from HDD.
    To be honest I don't know why this thread was posted under WXP category. As I wrote before after WXP installation on new notebooks you will not be able to use F8 and HDD recovery option.
    So if you want good answer please explain to us exactly which notebook model do you have and what you have done in the past.
    Bye my friend. Just stay cool we will find some solution or good explanation why this happen
    Have a nice day.

  • Windows failed to start: Insert Windows installtion disk?

    Satellite A205-S5843
    Windows Update the night before. Next day, the browser  was stalling. Eventually Task Manager reported Web Site Browser was not running. I closed down all programs and hit Restart. At the restart all that came on was a small image like when an image is loading. It continued for 20 minutes. None of the buttons would do anything, not even the power button or escape button. I finally unplugged the machine. Now when I turn on the power, I get the following message...
    =============

    1. Insert your Windows installation disk and restart your computer.
    2. Choose language settings. Click next.
    3. Click "Repair your computer"
    file: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc0000001
    Info: An error occurred whi;e attempting to read the boot configuration data.
    ============
    Things I have tried:
    Disks. I do not have the Windows disk. The recovery disk I made and filed when I purchased the machine gave the same error.
    Various button combinations. F8 key + power button. 0 (zero) key + power button. F2 and F12 are the only buttons I can access. I tried Reset to Defaults. Same results on power start.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Solved!

    Recovering to the factory default setup, and rebuilding from there, while not always necessary, is still a good thing every now and then, especially if your system has become quite messed up or corrupted.
    I am glad you were able to work it out with your Toshiba Recovery disks. In double checking your specs, it would seem your system never came with the Recovery Partition on your hard drive. Otherwise, there would have been the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator program listed on your pre-installed software, which it is not. So, keep those Recovery Disks safe, and maybe think of making disk copies of each to have a spare.
