March Win Update Disabled All Touch Screens, Wifi and BT? WHY?

I give up - everything I have done, this is a brand new Dell Inspiron - both images are shown below, one from Registry Editor - showing proof of the Mainboard's date and the BIOS. I run on a Touch Screen, Win 8.1 Pro - I had exhausted everything in the world;
even Microsoft Tech Support in Tier 3 can't figure this out - it was working fine all along, but come late February; MSFT comes with these new Windows Updates and making it worse March wipes out literally the BT (Bluetooth), turning off completely the WiFi
(although all are enabled in Services) and considering this is one expensive piece of equipment here ... C'mon now... All my Firmware and everything else is up to date and up to par and was working peachy until Intel came up with their update of the Intel
i5 Core (see below in Device Manager - you will see where Microsoft Windows and which KB is it - I am clueless now, because the info is vague and I've had to wipe out the entire HDD and reinstall it via the OEM DVD Win 8.1 and redo the whole reinstallation
all over again) and you are installing via Windows Update i7 Series and this is not an i7 Processor - there are no i7 series for i7 Core Processors - I am sorry... Intel does not have this. Then with Bluetooth; I give up - I have it all (hidden) uninstalled
and wiped out literally; superimposed for security reasons because for the life of me I have no earthly idea where to even start anymore, neither does Microsoft Tier 3 either.... they are clueless too!  Now you've disabled my Touch Screen with your March
Updates where this now is completely a DESKTOP and it is not designed for mouse usage; it is designed for swipe or touch and go ... self sufficient are the images posted below for you to see and figure this one out yourselves.... I've done everything possible!
Yes, everything is there and functional once everything is reinstalled but once that Windows Update begins - that is where the problem begins, I have the Windows Update on MANUAL Mode so I can view the KB's but sadly, many of the KB's are very vague in information;
this is not helping me here - before I know it; I am right back to square one! Since this will only limit me to two images - so the best I can provide you is that of BIOS and Device Manager to show what mess the Windows Update is giving everyone who has touch
screens (RT - Ultrabook to Surfaces) a massive headache;  you cannot turn it on, if it were possible - I could show you also how these are enabled in Services.
PS: NOTE - the Service Tag has been Blacked Out to prevent theft - there are no information there that people can steal from in BIOS and the other from Device Manager (followed by the BIOS first) ... go and figure these out yourselves... I am throwing in
the towel; it has nothing to do with the Manufacturer - everything was working just fine; but I can't disable Windows Update because I need it! See the point - it is futile and vain!
"Vujà Dé - The feeling you've never been in here before"

Understand your frustration there, but let me try to help
May I know your detail Dell Inspiron model?
What I suspected is, Dell launched the newest update for your Chipset, Bluetooth, WIFI and Touchscreen driver or software. Since you perform Windows update, OS will obtain latest driver via Windows update. Maybe incompatible driver which comes from
Windows update didn't match with your PC OEM hardware, that the reason why processor information, Bluetooth, WIFI and touchscreen don't functioning normally even worse will they turn grayed out or disable.
What I suggest here you check at Dell site, maybe there is update driver for this specific Dell model. Or let me try to find it for you. You can also download manually from there and applied the update
And maybe incomplete or corrupted Windows update process and downloaded files will caused issues like this

  • How do you disable the touch screen (Broken and handicapping normal mouse use)

    Hi, I have an ideacentre B540. My two year old daughter did something to my computer when I wasn't in the room and ended up busting it right on the top left corner. There is only one hairline crack that was visable in the upper left corner. I've found a replacement LCD screen, but cannot afford it right now, so... Meanwhile, I would like to just disable the touch portion of my computer, because often, it will think it is active (probably damaged the sensor in the fall :-P and take the power away from my  mouse, open random windows, and generally... Make an otherwise normal PC unuseable. Is there ANYTHING that I can do to disable the touch pad? Even a list of the touch specific processes that I can immediately delete upon startup would be great, because it seems to give me a few minutes before it decides to start acting up. Thanks!

    hi SharaLynn,
    Sorry to hear about your trouble.
    Can you try these methods to disable the touchscreen:

  • Is there a way to play a video and disable the touch screen

    I want to be able to play a video and disable the touch screen so that it will play uninterrupted (even if the screen is accidentally touched). Isn't there a "hold" button?

    Press the Home button once real quick to put the iPod on Hold.

  • I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    Could be two things:
    - It is on a screen and you can't find it.  Try using the Spotlight search feature and search for Safari.
    - Somehow the restriction for Safari got turned on.  If on Safari is hidden and will not appear on the iPod even via search.  Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.
    - Also try resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

    There is no way to downgrade to a different iOS. Apple does not support downgrading. See this link regarding speeding up the iPhone 4. http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/

    Why has my iPhone 4 lost its touch-screen-ability and created selection-boxes around apps, etc.. that require a double-tap to operate/execute?

    VoiceOver is on.  Triple-pressing the Home button may be set to turn it on or off.

  • Win 8.1 Upgrade Disabled Twist Touch Screen Fixed

    After a Win 8.1 Upgrade, I had no touch screen function. Calls to Lenovo led nowhere Same with searching Microsoft boards. I fixed the issue on Sunday 6/1- No help from Lenovo or Microsoft.
    For me it was finding two "Unknown Devices" in the HID section of Device Manager which did not have drivers installed. After researching and determining that Win 8.1 will not allow unsigned device drivers, and also seeing the "Update Driver" option failing because the drivers on the laptop that fit the problem were getting an 'INF unsigned driver error', I went through the steps to allow unsigned drivers... Charm Bar>Settings>Change PC Settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery>Advanced Startup>-Restart> Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Settings> Restart and then Chose #7>Allow Unsigned Device Drivers and Restart again... then Updating the two Unknown Devices with the drivers already on the Twist.... and voila- the errors disappeared and the touchscreen returned to full function.
    I don't know if this happened to many people, but Lenovo had no idea what to do. They wanted me to ship them the laptop and allow them to roll it back to Windows 8. Posting here to distribute it to a larger audience. Maybe someone at Microsoft should call Lenovo too or Lenovo should call Microsoft. The Twist is a great laptop with Win 8.1 when everything works the way it should. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Cvj17,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per your query we understood that you are looking driver for Unknown device. In some system after installing all the drivers also the unknown device will show in Lenovo Solution Center, hence confirm it once in device manage is there any Unknown adapter is showing in that.
    Please install Lenovo System Update application and run it to verify the driver automatically.
    Unknown Device issue.
    Hope this helps. 
    Best regards,
    Hemanth Kumar

  • Twist - Resolved all driver, WiFi, touch screen, version and battery issues through Windows Refresh

    I would like to report that I also had many of the issues mentioned in several other posts and solved them all by doing a Windows Refresh.
    In particular, the following issues were resolved:
    - Missing driver for WAN miniport device
    - Intermittent connectivity on WiFi
    - Unresponsive touch screen (charm-swipe was not working anymore)
    - Version mismatch of Lenovo Settings
    The computer is now absolutely stable and faster than before. Furthermore, first impressions seem to indicate that the battery life has also been significantly increased by the refresh.
    What I did:
    - Performed Windows 8 Refresh
    - Installed all Windows updates (several rounds of updates and restarts)
    - Reinstalled all non-Windows 8 applications (Windows Refresh keeps/restores only your data and Windows 8 apps)
    - Performed disk cleanup (including system files) and disk optimization
    The whole process took me a good half day but was well worth it. Twist runs like a charm now, without any issues.

    Windows Refresh generates a detailed list of all desktop apps that were removed during refresh. That list includes links to the manufacturer of each app and makes it quite easy to reinstall them.
