Update to Windows 10....Yes or No...? Encore WT8-A-103

Hi All, Is updating to windows10 going to work ok with our encores, will they boot up and function afterwards?Will it erase the previous OS with all data, apps, windows office and other programs completely during the update?My Windows8 OS uses nearly 8GBs SDD, will that increase expotentialy after the update...will it double in size or something and make my encore unusable? Does Toshiba support WIndows10 on our encores? Ive had the little Windows10 icon in the corner for nearly two months and the promised 29July date is nigh...

I'm having more second thoughts about the upgrade. Specially since I read we cant turn off online updates in Windows10. Which is bad when your traveling or on a bad internet contract and windows wants to do huge updates in the background. I've registered for the upgrade a few months back but now I might cancel my registration to upgrade. It says if I cancel I wont have the opportunity to have a free upgrade to windows10 again....Is that right?
I agree with your reluctance to upgrade immediately. We certainly won't upgrade production computers for some time. But I'd like to clear up some things.
1. Feel free to cancel your reservation at any time. Qualifying computers will be upgraded for free during the next year whether you cancel out or not.
2. Upgrades will be far more dependable because many thousands (perhaps millions) of "Insiders" will have tested them before they are released.
3. The computer will never restart without ample warning. You'll get a screen like this.
4. If a computer is upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. it will be possible to defer updates. That upgrade (Pro Pack) may not be available to tablets. I don't know yet.

Toshiba Encore WT8-A-103 - Jumping circles/points on the screen

Hi all,
one strange issue that seems to happen quite often with my Toshiba Encore WT8-A-10:
some jumping (mostly filled) circles/points or spots on the display. Firstly, always arranged in a straight line (both holding the tablet in landscapeor portrait mode). Today more than one line was affected.
Once this happened after starting the tablet and those jumping things resulted in keystrokes when I had to enter the password for my outlook.com account. I tried to start Taskmanager when this happened today, but this affect seems to be using quite some processor power, so I could not start Taskmanager. Also, when switching from the Desktop to the Start screen in W8.1, all of the tiles are kind of zoomed out, and I cannot use the touchscreen to scroll around and open programs. Since this was going on for some minutes without getting better, I had to press the power button for some seconds to perform a restart of the tablet.
Anyone else with this strange phenomenon?
Best,
Thomas

Okay, good idea. Just took 4 pictures right after starting the tablet and entering my credentials. Take a look at those dots in about the lower third of the image. Those dots go on and out, appear on other parts of the screen and mess up with the overall performance. Know these fancy xmas lights on a tree, where one goes off, the next goes on, thus simulating a kind of "movement". That's exactly what it is. Best - Thomas

Encore WT8 - Disable driver signature enforcement

I need to install a Fiio DAC driver which keeps failing.
Fiio themselves say that I need to disable driver signature enforcement in order to install the driver.
I've followed their instructions with regard to Windows 8.1 but when I get to the final selection screen where I need to press the f7 key, the keyboard is not accessible.
Is there any way around this as without it I will not ba able to use the DAC.
Cheers
Mike

Hi dude
I would recommend you to check if its really possible to install and to use such driver on an Windows tablet. Secondly, the Encore WT8 tablet supports an external keyboard via USB or Bluetooth.
So in case your issue is related to not visible keyboard, I would recommend you to test an external keyboard plugged to the tablet.

Update from Windows 8.0 to windows 8.1

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A Laptop that came with Windows 8.0 installed at purchase after taking a update to Windows 8.1 the DVD drive now isn't recognized any more. I've uninstalled the dvd driver and reinstalled them and my dvd drive still
doesn't work and my laptop is only 6 months old.

A simple test to determine if it is a driver issue or a faulty DVD drive (yes it can be bad at 6 months old, I have seen them bad out of the box) would be to use a Windows install disk and see if the machine will boot from the DVD. You may have to hold down
one of the function keys to access the boot menu. Refer to your laptops owners manual on how to boot from the DVD drive. Alternatively you can try tapping the F1 through F12 keys until you access the boot menu.
If the drive boots the disk then chances are the drive is OK and your problem is some sort of driver compatibility issues or the resources for the drive are not allocated correctly in the operating system. If the drive does not boot the disk, you have a
bad drive.

What is the issue with Java 7 Update 6 windows installer?

Hi guys,
I know that this is not the forum to ask Java Installation issue, but I couldn't find a forum that specifically deals with such issues. Also, as the issue in hand concerns JavaFx, I thought it appropriate to post the question here. Let me begin...
I ran the installer for JDK 7 Update 6 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, and it installed Java successfully, but no JavaFX SDK. So I uninstalled it, and ran the installer again, and it produced the same output i.e. Java installation O.K. but no JavaFX. It also didn't show any error message.
Puzzled, I looked at the system requirements for JavaFX 2.2, and it says SP1 for Windows 7. Sure my Windows 7 is not updated to SP1 yet, but JavaFX 2.1.1 was successfully installed on it, and it had same requirement ie. SP1. Since my numerous attempts to update to Windows 7 SP1 failed, I downloaded and installed separate installer for JavaFX 2.2, which the Oracle site says is for Java 6 only. Now, I am able to compile and run JavaFX 2.2 applications on my system without any problem. It has left me puzzled because if JavaFX 2.2 is compatible with my system, then why the JDK installer for 1.0.7_06 is not able to install JavaFX?
Are other users facing the same issue?
-Dinesh

Check JDK folder. You should see jre/lib/jfxrt.jar there.Yes it is there. And in Netbeans IDE, I specified the JDK home folder where it asks for JavaFX SDK folder location, and it accepted it; the IDE found all the required JavaFX SDK files in that folder as it is able to compile the program without any problem.
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. All the while I was looking for the folder named "JavaFX 2.2 SDK", and not founding one, assumed it to be some problem with the installer.
Thanks again.

Windows 8 Enterprise automaticly updated to Windows 8.1 pro

Hi all,
My company computer at my home location is running windows 8 enterprise.
yesterday i came home and there was a message in the screen asking for a reboot.
the reboot was needed for the update to 8.1 it sayd.
when the computer was rebooted several times, it suddenly asked me for a Licence key, this while there is a corporate licence.
then i checked the windows vertion and it is windows 8.1 pro now.
can anyone tell me what the hell happened and how i can revert this?
Kind regards.
Bas

Hi,
This is not possible. Windows 8.1 upgrades are available in the Windows Store or on media. However, when you upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store, you cannot change editions. Upgrading to a different edition of Windows 8.1 is supported from media
only.
Volume license version of Windows 8 Enterprise cannot be upgraded from the Windows Store. You must use media to upgrade these editions.
It would be helpful for us to do further troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Did you mean the Windows Editions you are running in the Company and at home were not same?
If yes, I think the edition when you were facing that ask to update to Windows 8.1 should not be the Windows 8 Enterprise.
Use your antivirus scan the whole computer and then double the version of the current system: right click Computer ->Properties ->under Windows Edition section, check the current edition.
Contact your IT admin to make if they push the related updates.

DPM 2012 R2 agent update on Windows 2003 server x64 - Exchange

According to the release notes on http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2014/04/23/now-available-update-rollup-2-for-system-center-2012-r2-data-protection-manager.aspx the following workloads are supported on Win2K3 with DPM2012 R2 UR2:
SQL 2005
SQL 2008
SQL 2008 R2
SharePoint 2007
Does that mean protecting Exchange 2007 on Win2K3 is no longer an option after upgrading to DPM 2012 R2 (UR2)? It works on DPM 2012 SP1 but I need to know if it will continue to work after upgrading.
(This question follows on from this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c425421b-b726-4125-82fc-beae8947722c/dpm-2012-r2-agent-update-on-windows-2003-server-x64?forum=dpmsetup which was marked as 'answered')

Hi,
Yes, Exchange 2007 backup will continue to work. I think that due to the timeframe of the UR2 release not all workloads were able to be re-certified, thus the limit in supported workloads.

F5 is not working after update of windows 8.

f5 is not working after update of windows 8 in my laptop. Rest of the function keys are working.
my laptop details are
Product Name: HP Pavilion 15-e008tu Notebook PC

Hello prem23,
What did the F5 key do before? According to your manual in the Action Keys list (page 32-33), that key wasn't tied to anything unless its just for page refresh.
If a Windows update breaks something, the best way I know to correct the problem is to uninstall that update.
OR
You can revert Windows back to an earlier state before the update with a Restore Point provided you didn't turn off that feature. If for some reason it is turned off, you will not be able to revert to that point as one was not created.
After the restore, only install one windows update at a time until you find the culprit and uninstall it. This way you have the other updates installed. YES this can be a long process.

DO NOT user the 2006-01-10 Updater on Windows XP

I tried running the 2006-01-10 Updater on my XP machine and it wreaked havoc with my system AND my iPod.
First running just "Update", and NOT "Restore", yes I made absolutely sure, wiped all of my data off of my 20GB iPod. Then when I tried to restore my data, iTunes (6.0.2.23) wouldn't start, after looking at the crash log I found that Quicktime had gotten corrupted.
I ended up having to uninstall iTunes, reboot, reinstall iTunes and use the 2005-09-06 Updater to get everything working again.
To the Apple guys:
You guys are doing a great job, but even the best of us goof once in awhile. This updater has some pretty serious problems.
Dell Dimension Windows XP

I think you might have something here.
I downloaded the 2006-01-10 updater over the weekend and installed it, at the same time I was also changing my PCs power supply to a more powerful one.
After I'd swapped it over I tried plugging in my LaCie D2 Extreme 250GB external hard disk (using FireWire) but nothing happened.
Well, the light came on but Windows didn't connect to it.
So I tried it over USB 2.0 and it worked!
Then I tried my iPod Mini, exactly the same problem, power is going to the devices (my iPod gets charged) but no communication occurs.
At first I thought it might have been something to do with the fact I'd switched my PSU, now I'm not so sure. See my troubleshooting thread here:
http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35034
Odd thing is, my work PC doesn't have the 2006-01-10 updater on it and neither devices work over FireWire on that now (did before the weekend).
But also interesting is the fact that neither work (over FireWire) on the G4 we have in the office (latest version of OS X, and updates are told to happen automatically, so I guess the 2006-01-10 updater is on that too).
I did a diagnostic test on my iPod and it confirms something wrong with the FireWire, here are the results:
Connection
Rate=s100 ERROR
FW Chip OK
Firewire OK
So, the chip isn't fried (which was my worry) but something low-level has been messed with, as a result of this 2006-01-10 updater by the looks of it.
Gonna try un-installing iTunes, putting the old updater on (if I can find it) and formatting both my iPod and the LaCie drive (got the data off using USB 2.0)
Quesiton is, do these devices store some FireWire settings that causes them to stop working on machines that don't have the possibly offending 2006-01-10 updater on?
Cheers

Error 0x80248014 on Windows Update on Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise beta build 9926.

Hi
As I download the new ISO and do a software Windows Updates.
I cannot seems to get any software updates at my end. Windows update cannot find any updates for Windows Defender.
My latest Windows 10 Technical Preview version 9926 cannot seems to find any software updates.
I keep getting this error.0x80248014!
I keep getting this error since I have the first Beta Build 9841 and 9879. I did not have the download of 9860.
I wonder there is a missing Windows Update at the Control Panel.
I have to search all over the place where is the Windows Update??? The GUI is very confusing for a First Timer like me!
See my screen capture.

mrdbeta,
Click the Retry button > if you have a Windows defender Update available, it will show up on the list together with a new build such as 9935 Professional. (See my screenshot at the end of the post.)
The system will start installing and when it finishes, it will give you the same error message. That's OK. It shows the error message because it is unable to install the new build which is NOT applicable to
us, the general users. Those new builds, 9931, 9932, 9934, and lately 9935 are meant for MSFT only.
Click Advanced options > click View your updates history. Your most recent Windows Defender update should be listed. If yes, you are OK. Nothing to worry about.
MS is well aware of the mistake. They will get it fixed soon. Please read the excerpt below from Inside Hub......
Windows Insiders who have installed KB3035129 may see reports in the Settings app under Update & recovery that a new preview build is available. Attempts to download the new build result in Error 0x80246017.
KB3035129 included a code change which unintentionally had the side effect of changing targeting for builds, allowing builds that are exclusive to Microsoft employees to appear available. No new builds are available which are newer than 9926 at this point.
We will issue another update shortly to correct the issue and ensure that Windows Insiders are able to successfully get the next build which is made available to you. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your continued participation
and feedback.
***** In the web, there is a registry modification dealing with this issue. I would suggest that you just wait for MS to sort it out. If you want to try the registry hack, google for it. Use it at your own risk

Yes, I'm having this problem also and mistakenly uninstalled iCloud 3.1 thinking that this would resolve the problem....which it didn't. Now I'm without iCloud period and have been searching for the old version of 3.1 to reinstall to no avail, and it seems that many people are having the same problem. Does anyone have a link or download for iCloud 3.1?

Prevent local administrators from opting out of Microsoft Updates / accessing Windows Update "Change settings" page

Hello,
Is there a a group policy setting / dll file / registry setting that I can restrict access to that would either:
A) prevent local administrators from unchecking the "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" box?
or
B) prevent access to the "Change settings" option on the left side of Windows Update?
Thanks!

> referring to the "Remove access to use all Windows Update features"
Yes.
> enabling this group policy setting would disable Windows Update and
No. It removes access to windows update, not windows update itself. If
you enable it, you have to make sure that windows update is properly
configured:
