Update to Windows 8.1 on my 920 made it slow and j...

As the subject line.
Is this common? 
Would restoring to factory settings take it back to 8.0?  
Thanks

Do a full reset. If you are referring to behaviour shortly after the update installs it could also be because of post update cleanup and install of removed apps.

It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

  • Updated to Windows 8.1, Having Problems with Touchscree​n, Bluetooth, and Mouse

    So, I'm having a few problems that I've tried googling and even looking through all these threads about the same problems but I can't seem to find someone (HP tech OR User) with a solution.
    I have a few problems:
    1) Touchscreen doesn't work anymore
    2) Mouse pointer does not appear on screen anymore (It's not "invisible" it's just completely not there)
    3) Bluetooth file transfer from my phone (Galaxy Note 3) to laptop and vice versa does NOT work
    There are also a few things that I've already tried:
    1) Hardware and Software troubleshoot
    2) Updating drivers
    3) Removing and re-installing programs (Synaptic)
    4) Connecting to a mouse (which solves the mouse problem, but when disconnected, the moust pointer is stuck where it was last pointing)
    5) Restarting the laptop (multiple times into different modes)
    My laptop is the HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k025dx Sleekbook (Energy Star)
    And I've only had the laptop for a few months. EVERYTHING was GREAT until I updated the stupid Windows 8.1 update. I've been sitting here for a good week now trying to figure out a way to fix this. Really about to throw this out the window.
    PLEASEEEE AND THANK YOU!

    Hello amykwon0520,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you've updated from Windows 8 to 8.1. That since doing so you have three primary issues with the Notebook. I will do my best to help you with this.
    I thank you for provide the amount of information you have. I do have a few questions for you to start with though.
    1) After updating to Win 8.1, did you make sure that all updates were completed? (Please check to make sure all Windows updates are completed, as well as using the HP Support Assistant to verify drive updates are completed.)
    2) The driver updates that you've complete. What driver's have you updated? Where did you do the updates from? (device manager, downloaded from online, ect..) If downloaded, was it form this page: HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k025dx Sleekbook Drivers?
    3) Did everything work correctly prior to the updates to 8.1?
    To address the issues that you mention having since doing the update, I have a document for each one that may help you with resolve it.
    1) TouchScreen not working - Please following the troubleshooting in this document: Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8.
    2) Mouse point not appearing on screen/touchpad not responding - Please following the suggestions in this document: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8).
    3) Bluetooth and file transfers - Please refer to this document: Using Bluetooth Devices (Windows 8).
    *Note* All documents say Windows 8, but the steps do apply to 8.1 as well.
    Try the documents for each issue and let me know if they are able to help you resolve the individual issues. Also, if you need further assistance please reply with answer to my questions above. I hope this is all able to help you out.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • I have the iphone 3GS and when I recently updated the software to 5.0, the phone has been slower and is messing up now, how do I fix this?

    I have synced it several times and nothing changes. I'm afraid to restore it because last time it deleted everything on there, even when I updated it, Everything was deleted and I always back it up. But now the internet is slow and it just loads and loads and it froze a one point, I've turned it off then back on, still nothing.

    There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
    In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
    Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
    Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
    Can you specify the error given?

  • Since I updated to os X 10.8.4 Safari is very slow and crashes

    I just updated to os X 10.8.4, and since then safari 6.0.5 is very slow, websites like youtube take forever to load, and I have problems opening new tabs.
    I hope someone can help me.
    P.S. Sorry for my english, not my first language.

    Do you get a notice that Safari has quit unexpectedly? If so, please do the following.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • An old macbook running 10.6.8 was restored using Time Machine then Snow Leopard was reinstalled and updated to 10.6.8. Now the machine is slow and repair disc permissions results in a cancelled by user message.

    Our old macbook was getting a gray screen with flashing ? on bootup. Eventually I restored it using Time Machine then decided to reinstall Snow Leopard since it would not boot. Machine now boots but is slow. Ran repair disc and tried to run repair disc permissions but got a message that it was cancelled by user.
    This machine is at least 6 years old and I just want to limp it along until I can afford to replace it in the spring.

    You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS.  I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before.  I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure.  Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

    Hi K,
    Thank you for you reply and sorry if the information was a bit too truncated. well here goes.
    I am using a MacBook Pro (3.1) 17 inch, 2.4GHz processor, 2 GB ram. I edit video using Final Cut Studio 2. i am having a problem with Final Cut Pro 6 after downloading the latest update (6.0.3). Before I downloaded the update I used to be able to export my movies on the Quicktime option of FCP (not compressor or Quicktime conversion) giving me the option to view the the movie while in an FCP Project. The viewer used to scale the exported video to 16.9 (720 by 576 anamorphic), it no longer does this, instead playing it in 4.3. I have tried exporting both from the time line and the canvas but the viewer will only preview in 4.3. As I want to see it in 16.9 because that is what the movie was made in, captured and edited in. The original settings have not changed but there seems to be this annoying problem.
    I hope that is enough detail

  • Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.169.2328.0) will not install.

    I've been going around in circles for hours now trying to figure this out, but I now officially give up. I have no idea how to fix this. So I came here before I chuck my laptop across the room.
    Whenever I try to install the definition update, it fails and says "error found. Code 80070002 windows update encountered an unknown error". I've tried to fix it using the
    Windows Update troubleshooter, but it can't fix it. Also, tried to follow some manual fixes, but none of what they say to do exists on my computer (like files and such). Help!
    I have a Sony Vaio, Windows  7 64-bit Home Premium edition.
    I also installed the System Update Readiness Tool as a last ditch effort to see if it would fix it. It didn't.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    I aggree with Hetti.
    In Windows 7, Windows defender only removes spyware, but to protect yourself from viruses, you still need to download antivirus software, such as Avast Antivirus.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2014/01/16/do-i-need-anything-besides-windows-defender.aspx
    To install the update for Windows Defender, i recommand you to fully exit Avast and manually install the update.

  • IPad 1 updates makes apps run slower and crash

    Hello everyone,
    I have 34 updates in the app store until now, i always updated everything to the latest but noticed things are getting slower and very crashy, the updates are obtimized for newer ipads so likewise it gets slower on the old ipad, i dunno why it notifies an ipad one user to update?? Its not for me!
    So, should i keep updating apps?? Sometimes i think that its intended by apple to get old ipads not to work properly to get me think about a new ipad, well devices  like ipad is not something to discard after a while you know, i will stick with it until it burns or somethin :P

    As far as I know - you can't update apps if they are for the new iOS only. The apps shouldn't update and you should get a message that the updates will not work on your iOS.
    Tap on app icon that needs to be updated and read the description first. Don't tap on "Update". Read the requirements first. If the primary reason for the update is that it is optimized for iOS 6, then don't update it - even it even can be updated that is.
    Some basic troubleshooting might help when the iPad gets "crashy". Try these and see if they help.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad and make a fresh start. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or try this ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

    I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

    sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it  keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
    i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem...   make any sense?  do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution?  i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

  • After updating to Windows 8.1, Windows Explorer crashes.

    Hello, I have recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. When it finished the install and reboot, it went to my desktop where my background image was gone, Kaspersky Pure 3.0 was gone, and Windows Explorer crashes every time it is opened. The other
    two problems are not as big of a problem right now so I searched around for a fix on this issue. I found that some applications, specifically Autodesk, were causing conflicts. I don't have Autodesk but I decided to update everything anyways. I reinstalled
    Kaspersky, fully updated it and ran a scan to see if it was a virus, which it is not. I updated AVG 2014 free, Malwarebytes free, and many others. I also ran Windows Update. I ran CCleaner to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't either. I looked at
    the error report and saw that it was caused by StackHash_35ff, which through further investigation turned out to be a fancy term for nothing. What is my problem? I really don't want to restore to an older version because I've spent the better part of the day
    allowing Windows 8.1 to bother me. Please help because I'm out of ideas and nothing from other responses seemed to be the solution.

    Okay, so the above worked. I ended the Com Surrogate task, the went into cmd and typed in these two commands;
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    regsvr32 jscript.dll
    Everything seems to be back in order. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem, seeing as no one else came up with this solution.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes does not think I have high definition display. Playback with other internet apps is in high def, but not iTunes.

    I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.  Now when I try to play high definition movies, iTunes says they can not play back on my display which is low def.  My display has high resolution and display settings are correct.  Other websites play back in high def.  Just not iTunes.
