Networking Issues after Upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a Windows 8 desktop PC that is working fine with my network.  I can browse the Internet fine using all major browsers etc.  After upgrading to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store I noticed that my wired networking was not working correctly.
 The status of the network does not change (i.e. it doesn't change to Limited Connectivity) however browsing to sites in Chrome, IE or Firefox doesn't work as well as Windows 8.
IE11 gives me the error "This page can't be displayed, make sure the web address is correct" and other browsers give a similar error.  I normally have to refresh 2-3 times to get a new page to load, sometimes even more.  Everything works
fine from a laptop connected at the same time so it isn't an network issue with my provider.
I thought this might be a driver issue with the two on-board Marvell wired network adapters.   I wasn't able to rollback the driver to older versions I found on the Internet.  I then purchased another network card, Intel Desktop gigabit and the
issue still persists with that adapter.  I then tried a USB wireless adapter and the issue still persists using wifi with the wired adapters disabled.  I tried a new network cable and no luck either.  I also tried resetting the IP stack using
the various netsh commands.
After that I thought I might try reset the Windows 8.1 PC, however that didn't work as I didn't have the restore image available as I upgraded from the Windows Store.  I then tried installing Windows 8.1 fresh using a ISO with my Windows 8 key using
some of the recent guides that are available.  That all worked but it didn't fix the networking issues.
I re-installed Windows 8.0 and the networking is now fixed and back to working normal again.  I'd like to try again but I think I will have the same problems.  I can't imagine why this would be a driver issue as I tried 3 different network adapters
and two installs of Windows 8.1.  Any ideas what would be the cause of the Windows 8.1 issue?

HI,
Since this issue only occurred in the your desktop PC, and many network adapters you tried, failed, thus I think maybe we should focus on the model of your desktop PC, I suggest you update the BIOS and chipset from the manufacture to improve
the performance of win8.1.
Please also test this issue in safe mode with networking.
Please refer to:

Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
The issue occurs in safe mode as well under Windows 8.1.  The motherboard is an Asus P5B Premium, however it works on Windows 8.  How would I update the chipset when booted into Windows 8.1?  In Device Manager it wasn't allowing me to update
the network drivers as they were newer versions already installed.
Edit:  I also installed at Intel Chipset Device software dated 8/8/2013 with version 9.​4.​0.​1026 and the issue still occurs.  I am also running the latest BIOS that is available.

  • Lost 5 GHz wireless network access after upgrading to Windows 10

    Hello, Lost the ability to connect to (and see) my 5GHz wireless network after upgrading Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on my Yoga 2 13. I have tried to update the wireless driver to the latest version. The WiFi card is the original Wireless-N 7260 that was installed when I bought the computer. I know for a fact that I was able to use 5GHz networks Before as I can see my saved networks and I can clearly see that I have my 5GHz network in that list. Please advice, Patrik

    Good to see it fixed itself. One setting that can block Windows 10 from seeing the WD My Cloud and other devices/computers on the network is the "network location type". During the upgrade or install to Windows 10 one may not quite understand what they are reading when, or if, asked which kind of network they are connecting to. If they select "no" on that particular screen (example below), Windows 10 will block access to certain local devices possibly including the WD My Cloud. The following link gives a general overview of the issue and ways to fix it if one made the wrong selection: Change network location type (Public or Private) in Windows 10 

  • U410 touch WiFi issues after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Hi all,
    I have a U410 touch and yesterday I upgraded to windows 8.1
    I have major WiFi issues.
    connection drops after a few minutes giving limited. troblesshooting resets the adapter saying ''the default gateway is not accessible '' is fixed. But after a few minutes the problem comes back. and it goes like this forever.
    I have the Intel Centrino N-2230 and I installed the driver I found here (15.10.3.2).
    I''ve tried to uncheck the power management option but the problem is still there.
    I also have other issues with the dolby system (I see others have the same problem )and my touch screen is not working.
    any help will be greatly appreciated
    thanks!

    Hi-
    I am also running into the same issue with my Lenovo U410 and it is really frustrating. I also have Centrino Wireless chip with driver version 15.10.3.2 and I have windows 8.1
    I bought the laptop from Costco and was having similar issues. I sent it back to Costco Concierge who apparently replaced the wireless chipset on this laptop but now I am getting this issue.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • [Forum FAQ] SkyDrive synchronization issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After Windows 8.1 released, users may encounter the issues about syncing files in SkyDrive. There are the error messages you may find:
    Error 0xS00705B4: This operation returned because the timeout period expired
    Sorry, the action couldn't be completed because the file hasn't finished uploading. Try again later
    Error 80070490: element is not found.
    Many SkyDrive folders in library like SkyDrive [1], SkyDrive [2] …
    We just would like to point out some possible causes of this issue and give you some suggestions to troubleshoot it.
    Cause:
    Location was messed up during upgrade.
    Pending uploading or downloading task blocked in synchronization.
    SkyDrive was hang.
    GPO blocked the syncing behavior
    The user profile folder was relocated after upgrading.
    How to fix:
    Suggestions 1: Checking the consistence of locations on both registry key and SkyDrive properties:
    Right click SkyDrive -> Properties -> Location tab              
    Open regedit.exe, locate to the following key and check the location.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SkyDrive
    Suggestion 2: For many SkyDrive
    folders:
    Check which one can be explored properly with right files and relocate the SkyDrive folder via changing the settings in
    suggestion 1.
    Or create a new folder for relocating SkyDrive’s.
    Suggestion 3: End the Skydrive.exe process and restart in command or disconnect and reconnect your MS account in SkyDrive to clear the pending task:
    Press Win+R to open run, and type following commands one by one:
    %windir%\system32\skydrive.exe /shutdown
    %windir%\system32\skydrive.exe
    Log off your MS account in SkyDrive and log in again to check the issue.
    Suggestion 4: Check the GPO settings in both gpedit.msc and regedit.exe:
    In GPO: If User Configuration –> Administrative Templates
    –> Desktop -> Prohibit User from manually redirecting Profile Folders
    is enabled, please disable it. Don’t forget to force update the policy changes: run command
    gpupdate /force as admin.
    In regedit: if DisablePersonalDirChange is set to 1 under
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, please change it to 0 and start the SkyDrive to check the results.
    At the end, we can’t assure that these suggestions can fix all such
    issues. If you need further help, it’s ok to feedback here or submit a new thread with the
    SkyDrive.exe.err.**.log under C:\Users\[Your name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\logs
    uploaded for research.

    I wrote a blog post back in January which describes a similar issue with the SkyDrive / OneDrive app in Windows 8.1 and how to resolve it at

  • Heating, Longer Startup issues after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    It has just been about 1.5 years I have purchased this laptop and the way it is behaving now is killing me.
    There was absolutely no problem while I was running Windows 8(which was my preloaded OS).
    But after I upgraded to Windows 8.1 I am facing numerous problems which I am stating below.
     Startup time has increased to double the time it took perviously( even after I disabled unnecessary startup entries ).
     Laptop is getting heated from the moment it is started, no matter what I do or I do nothing and keep it idle(which earlier happened only when I played any high graphics game)
     HP Support Assistant no longer works in Windows 8.1(I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times still no solution), so I am no longer able to get any technical support.
     Right click on Desktop takes ~10 seconds to open up the menu(Once again checked and found no unwanted third party context meny handler entry blocking the right click)
    Please help me out as soon as possible.
    Currently I am using Microsoft Windows 8.1 x64 Single OS
    Product Name-HP Pavilion G6-2236TX NB PC
    Product Number-D4B09PA

  • Sleep and Shutdown issues after upgrading to Windows 10

    Hi there,So I'm having issues with sleep and shutdown after I upgraded to Windows 10, the laptop won't go to sleep or shutdown properly. The screen turns off, but the power LED stays on and the fan as well. If I chose sleep it won't wake up no matter what I try, and I'd have to perform a hard shutdown everytime.Any solution for this problem?Thanks.

    **I have posted this in another area with the same issue** YES!!!!! A Solution that worked.  Spread the news.  It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue.   1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS.  If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk.         You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled.  My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS.   The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked.  WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8.  I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue.  Hope this helps.

  • Network issue after upgrading to OSX 10.4 from 10.3.9

    After upgrading to 10.4 the network seemed to be working fine, internet works, mail works fine, but on the finder network menu I had some problems. Selecting the network menu brings up the menu and selecting network a folder displays named MyNetwork not local. All of the servers and other macs are shown in the next colu mn on the form. I cannot connect to them. Opening the icon for any of the nodes results in the message The alias to the "Node" cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found. This message box provides the option to fix alias, or delete the alias. The fix alias does not accomplish anything and the delete alias gives an error that I do not have the privileges to delete the "Node".
    I am fairly new to working with apple (2 weeks.). I am guessing that a file was not moved during the upgrade. I would like to learn how to correct this problem.

    Hi Tom, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    The fix alias does not accomplish anything...
    I've never heard of it working for anybody either!
    Try this, in Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, toggle off the Show Network Icon, Find the IP of the iMac in it's Network Pref Pane>TCP/IP tab. In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then on the PB, type in afp://ip.of the iMac, like...
    afp://10.0.1.5
    afp://192.168.1.3
    (smb:// if PCs), if it connects then reboot, then toggle that setting back on.
    Where are we now?

  • Split x2 - Touchpad issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I bought this Split x 2 a week ago and it came with WIndows 8. Everything was working fine until I upgraded to WIndows 8.1. Now my Touchpad will freeze some times and I have to log out and log back in to my profile to unfreeze the touchpad other times I can get it to unfreeze by resetting the release touch screen buttom.
    I called HP customer service and they said it was a Microsoft issue and transfer me to them. Microsoft said it was a hardware (HP) Issue and that i needed to go back to the store where I bought it
    (BestBuy). I took it back yesterday to BestBuy and they gave me a knew one. I did the same thing and upgraded to Windows 8.1 and touchpad issues is back. So pretty sure is not a hardware issue.
    All windows updates are completed
    I checked the Touchpad's Driver and it is up to date.
    NOTE: I plugged a wireless mouse to my laptop and when the touchpad freezes the wireless mouse still works.
    Does anyone know a fix for this issue? Everything else works great on the laptop is just very inconvenient when you are working and you have to log out to get your touchpat to work again.
    Any help would be appreaciate it.

    Well you gave me a great idea.  So the same thing happened to me, the install failed due to the driver signature.  I uninstalled the current driver, then turned off the feature that requires signed drivers and installed the driver.  Everything is working so far.... the only odd thing is it doesn't show the driver any where.  I am going to try a few other things BUT the mouse hasn't stopped working for a good half hour.

  • Touchsmart 600 1390 - issue after upgrade to Windows 8 - DVDBD wont work.

    I successfully upgraded to Windows 8 and although the harddisk ran non stop for about a week, with me dubbing 8 -  WindowsWait... It eventually finished whatever it thought it was doing and is about normal now.
    EXCEPT the DVDBD that is onboard now can not read any media.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows driver several times but without any resolution.  I have searched the HP website but there is nothing i have found there - drivers or advice.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    You have used the drive to install windows right? Was the unit working before you have done the upgrade?
    Optical drives should not give any problem after an upgrade, other components you might not get a driver due to manufacturer not releasing it, but not the optical drive...
    Make sure you have your windows activated and you have all windows updates already installed...
    How is the optical drive detected in windows explorer and device manager? Can you tell me how the drive is detected?
    Thanks,
    I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

  • G60 laptop left without sound and bad screen issues after upgrading to Windows 8

    I have a G60-458dx notebook that I just recently upgraded to windows 8.
    Since then I have had no audio whatsoever, and anytime I try to wake the computer from sleep or hibernation, the screen won't turn on. To get the screen back I have to do a forced shut-down, then turn it back on.
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling all of the relevant drivers (e.g. video, audio, chipset) to no avail. If anyone has any info on available generic drivers that would work, or updates from hp, you would make me a very happy man.
    Here are the hardware id's for my audio and video.
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A42

    Try uninstalling the audio driver and installing this generic IDT audio driver: http://goo.gl/0IMBd
    If that does not resolve your audio issue, then more than likely it is a hardware compatibility issue.

  • Portege M700 rotation issues after upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit

    I upgraded to windows 7 last night on my portege m700. It is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I installed all the drivers under the Windows & 64 bit category on Toshiba's page. Everything works great except the screen will not properly rotate when put into tablet mode. I can push ctrl+alt+ arrow keys to rotate it, and I can also use windows mobility center to rotate 90 degrees at one time. I am wondering what I need to have it rotate once snapped into tablet mode, like it did in Vista. I have the Toshiba rotation utility installed but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It seems like it is not receiving a signal from the monitor that it has been rotated.
    I need this for school, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Hi
    I think there are not all Win 7 64boit drivers published and released for M700 and you will have to install also some drivers released for Vista 64bit!
    For example:
    *Tablet PC Extension Package v 1.0.0.1 for Vista 64bit*
    This driver package installs a range of important utilities.
    _TOSHIBA Rotation Utility:_ Set the default screen orientation you want the system to use when switching from PC to Tablet mode, or vice-versa.
    _TOSHIBA Tablet PC Buttons Driver:_ You can dedicate tablet buttons to performing common tasks so that you can easily operate your tablet computer when you're away from your workstation. For example, you can dedicate a button to open a program or to change your screen orientation.
    _TOSHIBA Accelerometer Utilities:_ These Utilities are a set of hardware utilities that work with the motion sensors built into you machine. With the Accelerometer, your machine will be able to detect the way you are holding it at any given moment. You can set the machine to perform a specific function when the unit is quickly tilted to the left or right, or to the front or back. You can also take control of the cursor in some applications and make it move by leaning the PC in a certain direction.

  • Networking Issues after Upgrading to Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks, my mac mini must be connected to my Laptop and roommates PC to play  my screensaver slide show.  All the pics are on my mac mini's hard drive. It also will not allow me to change the pic file in System Prefrences, unless it is connected to the other computers.  I am frequently getting the message that the mac mini can not connect to these computers.  I choose the option to dismiss but it will come up again and again, not satisfied with my choice. Now I leave the box alone and work arond it but it always stays on top of all the windows making it super annoying.
    I have tried moving the Pic folder.  Copying the pics to another folder.  I have activated each pic throught preview to see which ones maybe still linked to the other computers. I did this while leaving the wi-fi on so that if one of the pics was on another computer the Mini would mount that computer to the desktop, but none did.
    While leaving the wi-fi on and connected to the other computer I am able to change the pic file for the screen saver.  I choosed a folder that I know have pics that have only been on my Mac Mini. I then terminated the Wifi and the same problem happens.  The system prefrence screen saver will show that it is loading the pics and will not allow me to choose any folder. Says  "loading...."
    I have turned off the sharing on the laptop and the Mac Mini. I don't touch my roommates PC.
    I feel as if this has something more to do with the System Prefrence / screen saver program
    I also have a problem with my Finder crashing and having to do a hard reboot to fix it. 
    This was not a problem before the upgrade to mavericks.
    PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS!

    UPDATE!!!!   Now it seems all the Mac Mini want to do is connect to those two computers.  I don't have to open the screensaver prefs for the Mac Mini to now proclaim that it has failed to detect my roommate's and the laptop computers.  At least now I can say OK and the warnning box will go away for about 30 seconds before it pops up again!  I can not connect to these computers anymore and this is SUPER ANNOYING!  I have also checked both these computers and they do  not contain any pictures that I was using for my screensaver.  Which I changed to a genric apple one, and it still required to connect to those computers to actavate that screensaver.
    ANY One out there with a Fix??????????????

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer - issues after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After successfully downloading a driver from the HP website to enable using this all-in-one printer with a new HP laptop using a Windows 8.1 OS, I confirmed that the printing function works normally (just as it did with a Windows XP OS on my wireless home network).
    However, I don't find any icons appearing on the 8.1 desktop for other HP apps (e.g. HP Solution Center, HP Photo Creations). I do have an icon for the Printer. When opened, it shows two options: 1) add a new printer and 2) add new software (from the original CD). But the original CD is for the XP OS, which I don't try and possibly mess up what already is working.
    So-o-o, Is there any HP software download available for HP apps to use with this printer, especially HP Solutions Center?

    Hi Riley.
    You can get HP Photo Creations here:
    www.hp.com/go/hppc
    It's a free download for Mac and Windows.
