How to stop Windows disabling BootCamp keypad functions?

Windows keeps disabling Boot Camp keyboard functions.
Have to reload disk and perform repair.
Last until next window update, then becomes disabled again.

If it is a 15" model, than it should have two GPUs. Use the internal display and download gfxCardStatus. Ensure your are using the Intel GPU and test your browsers. If the screen issues are resolved, then nVidia (or driver) is suspect, otherwise I suspect the logic board.
You can also check the Mac Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support . It may not find all issues.

  • How to stop Windows 7 computer from advertising DLNA on the LAN?

    I have a streaming server and client on my network, but when I use the client, the server list is cluttered up with the Windows 7 computers I have. I will never, ever be using these computers to stream videos, so how can I remove them from the list? I discovered
    that I can do it by removing the Windows Media Player component, but if I do that, then my computers can't play videos either! I just want Windows to stop advertising DLNA services on the network.
    Incidentally, this question is not as simple as it seems, because I do have streaming turned OFF. If I use my DLNA client to select one of my Windows computers, I get an error on my TV screen saying that streaming isn't enabled. I want to stop Windows advertising
    a service that isn't there...
    A workaround would be to remove Windows Media Player and install a third-party media player, but I don't really want to do that.
    I imagine that the solution is to disable a "windows service" but I don't know what it's called. Thanks!

    Yes, that's it. I never found the thread when I searched for an answer because no one mentioned DLNA in the thread at all, which is weird because that's what it's about...
    So the service is called "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service". Thanks to bawoodruff for that.
    I echo the frustration described by "jase-in-atl" when he complains that streaming can be turned on, but not off again. My streaming was OFF because I'd never used it, but I had to turn it ON before I could set all the devices to "blocked".
    When I blocked all devices, it no longer showed up on the client's list, as I wanted.
    It's certainly a very user-unfriendly option, that I have to turn streaming ON, in order to successfully turn the DLNA advertisement OFF. Turning streaming ON seems like a backwards step. Microsoft's attempts to simplify things, or possibly to cajole people
    into using certain windows features, certainly makes the settings harder to understand.

  • How to start Windows in Bootcamp?

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows succesfully with bootcamp and I do know how to start Windows on start up. But when I restart with the option key held down, select the Windows system and push the button with the straight arrow, Mac Os X starts and not Windows.
    Does anyone have the same problem? And how can I fix this?
    I know that I can also open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and then select the Windows system, and restart the computer. But Why doesnt it work on start up?
    Thanks in advance.

    Steps:
    1-Open command prompt with admin mode
    Or Boot from DVD in command prompt mode.(This is what i experienced, able to show the safe mode menu)
    2- Write this command "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" and click enter
    3- You can now press F8 while Windows 8 starts in order to access Safe Mode and other Advanced Boot options.

  • Macbook bad DVD drive how to install windows in bootcamp

    My macbook has a bad DVD drive. I just upgraded it to snow leopard and want to install windows using bootcamp. Unfortunately when the windows installation starts the machine reboots but does not seem to be able to detect the windows disc in an external dvd that I have attached to it. I tried two different usb dvd readers and finally a firewire one I had laying around to no avail.
    without the DVD drive working, how can I get it to install Windows?
    thanks very much in advance for any help

    Hi Amy
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    This particular forum is for student software developers so you might not get an answer to your question. I suggest you post it again, but this time to one of the Boot Camp forums. Maybe someone there will have the answer you want.
    Best wishes and good luck

  • How to stop windows 8.1 from installing default apps??

    Hey guys,
    Are there any ways to stop windows 8.1 from installing those pesky default apps for new users (Travel, Games, Food and Drink, etc)? Ideally, if there is a way to manage this through a gpo that would be great, but I know of no such way. The point is to deploy the machines without the end user having any access to those apps or the app store. I've written a simple logon script in powershell that uninstalls them, but that seems way to inefficient and a lag on the network. Any thoughts??
    Thanks!

  • How to stop windows defender popups in windows 10

    Hi,
    I have installed antivirus program on windows 10 which internally disable windows defender and now it started giving popups saying "This app isn't monitoring your PC because app's service is stopped you should restart it now."
    I know that my antivirus program has stopped defender but still I'm getting the popups.How can i stop this popup message
    Thanks in advance.
    Nandkumar T.

    Hi Nandkumar T,
    Regarding the notification issue, please open services.MSC, find the responsible service and check if it is started, also make sure it is configured to Automatic for the startup type. (Which is supposed to be Windows Defender service).
    Regarding the installed Anti-virus program, please consider seek help at the vendor side for a proper suggestion.
    Besides, as
    Kapil-Arya suggested, you may uninstall the program, use Windows Defender only (Which is reco), or you may disable Windows Defender.
    Best regards

  • How to stop Windows phone 8.1 app from crashing?

    Hi All,
    I have developed an app in Windows Phone 8.1 environment (WinRT). When i tested the app in my local testing device, it worked fine but when i hosted the app on app store, it sometimes crashes. Please help me, how do i stop my app from crashing?

    Sometimes crashes or always crashes when deployed through the store?
    If you want to rely on data instead of magic then check the crash reports as Abdul suggests. If you want magic then my crystal ball says that if it always crashes the app is trying to write to its install directory.
    The install directory is writable for test deployed apps but not for apps deployed from the store.

  • Macbook pro mid 2012- Wanting to know how to install windows using bootcamp

    Hello everyone,
         I'am sure this question has been asked many times but this is urgent and can't really find all the necessary steps I need in my situation. I am using a MacBook pro mid 2012 I believe. I'am taking colleges courses, and need to use visual basic. Unfortuanatly visual basic is not compatible with macs. I've done a few researchs and found out installing windows 7 with bootcamp is maybe the best solution? Probleme is I have no start up disk that came with the mac, and the cd drive is broken. I do have an external hard drive I bought a few months ago.     
         What exactly do I need in order to set this up? Is it still possible without a start up disk, and by using a external hard drive? How should I get windows 7? Online or buy the disk?
         If someone could either direct me to a threaded explaining a similar case? Or point out what I need, and a few important steps to follow?
    I appreciate it!
    Thanks
    LJ.C

    if your MBP has a DVD drive (even if broken), it requires that to install windows via boot camp so you have 2 options
    get your dvd drive repaired, or
    see if the usb boot camp hack will work for you - http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=51873

  • How to Stop window from resizing when loading a project

    Every time I load any project (even one I saved and closed 5 minutes ago) After Effects resizes the window.  I would like to disable this 'feature' how do I do that?

    Check your workspaces and also your graphics card stuff. Especially in a multi-screen setup your graphics driver may simply be resetting the application window to the primary/ first screen.

  • How to stop Windows from mounting a usb fat32 flash drive

      Here's the problem. I have 4 identical Sandisk Cruiser 32GB flash drives. Windows has never mounted these drives in the past, until several months ago. Now Windows is mounting 2 of these drives but not the other 2. When the drives get mounted I end
    up with about 5GB of files being added to each drive because they now show System Volume Information and the Recycle Bin. The amount of data added varies depending on the system I plug up to. On one Win 7 machine it can add up to 10+ GB. I would like to 
    be able to use the entire space for my backups but am unable to. These two drives are only used for Music and Videos. Is there a way to stop these two drives from being mounted in windows systems?
    Thanks,  Bill

    Sorry but my figures are not exaggerated. Right now on this machine "System Volume Information" is showing as 3.2 GB and "Recycle Bin" is showing as 2.9 GB.  I don't own these computers I use so I can't make changes to them such
    as emptying the recycle bin. I only use portable applications from my flash drives on friends systems. By windows loading these two folders to my flash drives it it effectively stopping me from being able to use all the space.
     Now as I mentioned in the first post, windows is only loading the SysVolInfo and recycle bin folders to 2 of the 4 drives. I am able to use ChkDsk on the two drives that are unaffected by windows but not on the other two. I get the message that windows
    can't check the volume while it is in use and would I like to check it at startup. This always fails because, I think, These computers do not recognize the usb drives until windows is loaded. I have a work around for this in a utility that will unmount the
    two drives and run ChkDsk and then remount them.
     This doesn't answer the question though as to why all of a sudden this is happening to 2 of the 4 drives? And on several different machines? Windows does assign a drive letter to all 4 drives as it always has however the 2 drives without the system
    folders are able to be scanned in windows without unmounting them.
     I would really appreciate any insight into this behavior I could get.
    Thanks, Bill

  • How to stop Windows iTunes from spontaneously creating new folders with duplicate copies of songs, and renaming existing folders?

    I've recently started using iTunes regularly to import CDs. Since then, I've found my Windows 'My Music' folder is behaving in bizarre ways.
    I like to organise most of my music in folders by Genre --> Album title, without paying attention to Artist. I also like to rename certain album folders (and the Album name in each track's metadata as well, so that each album/folder remains consistent), and also to create customised 'mix tape' album folders. I just want to use Windows Explorer / My Computer to manage this; I don't want to do it via iTunes. I just want to use iTunes for initially getting the music from CD to computer.
    Previously, when I was using Windows Media Player to import CDs, if Windows Media Player placed an imported CD under a folder category I don't use, such as Artist, I would just manually move the Album folder and delete the empty parent Artist folder. However these days iTunes is spontaneously creating an entire series of Artist folders, even for tracks and albums that were already on my computer, and is placing duplicate track files into them. Additionally, it's renaming albums for folders and tracks I've customised, turning album titles back into their original values. This is happening even though the destination for newly imported/downloaded iTunes tracks is not the My Music folder itself, but rather another folder within that one. I've had a look at Preferences --> Advanced and the 'Keep iTunes media folder organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' boxes are already unchecked, so it's not related to that anyway. How do I get iTunes to leave my folders alone?

    First off see this user tip so should any further unwanted changes happen you have a chance to revert to your original layout.
    It is not unknown for AV software to interfere with iTunes and corrupt its configuration files. If this happens iTunes can revert to the default settings to "Keep..." & "Copy...". Deselecting those options won't return any files to their original paths.
    If you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled under Edit > Preferences > Store that can lead iTunes to download the original metadata for any of your purchases and show that instead of any edits you may have made to it. Turing that option off and restarting iTunes may reveal your version of the metadata.
    There is another option under Edit > Preferences > Store that reads "Share details about your library with Apple" although I don't think that changes metadata in the way that the similar option in Windows Media Player does. Double-check your settings in Windows Media Player (Options > Library) to make sure it isn't set to "Retrieve additional information from the Internet". This is usually the cause of spontaneous tag resetting. WMP can be called into life in the background when visiting certain websites and it has a lazy cache, meaning it can sometimes write out metadata to your media files long after the data was originally acquired.
    It is also work noting that mp3 files may contain multiple tags and iTunes, for one, treats these unpredictably. In some cases it may appear to accept and write out a tag change only to later read back the original unchanged data from another copy of the tag.

  • How Get Quicktime Window Zoom Button to Function Properly?

    A newly opened Quicktime window won't expand when I click on the window's green toggle button in the upper left corner. But if I first expand the window by dragging its corner, I can then toggle between the new and original sizes.
    How can I get my green button to perform properly for Quicktime (it works fine for other apps)?

    Yes, the keys you suggested work. Thank you. So I guess my question has become borderline academic.
    But I'm still bothered by the initial inertness of the green button, which works as designed ONLY following the first MANUAL size change after the file has been opened. Same behavior whether that first size change was made by dragging or by the Command 1,2,3 or Command F keys.
    Is there maybe a Quicktime system file that's been corrupted that I could reinstall?

  • How to stop Windows Explorer 8 refusing to download Firefox? It says this is an illegal action

    I have a new-to-me 2008 Dell laptop running Explorer8 for Windows XP(SP3). I try to download Firefox, which we use in all our other computers as browser, and it refuses to download the files, saying this is an illegal action, and it kicks me offline. How do I neutralize Explorer8, which apparently is not willing to die peacefully, download Firefox, then change to Firefox as default browser without a laptop meltdown?

    You can download the Firefox installer to a USB flash drive or CD-RW at a public library or a friend's house or a colleague's PC. Just make sure that if you have a different OS (e.g., Windows vs. Mac) that you get the correct version. You can use the "all" page for that:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    You also may want to grab some anti-malware tools while you're at it in case the process rejecting Firefox is not IE itself but an infiltrator. These two tools are highly regarded:
