Windows 8.1 update on Satellite L50T-A-11T

Hi,
I got my Toshiba Satellite L50T-A-11T with Windows 8, so the first days I had it I installed Windows 8.1 from the "market", but my computer sometimes does strange thing like the desktop "restarts", all the icons disappear, the task bar disappears an after 1s it all comes again but moving some icons. It's very annoying.
So I looked for drivers on the web page and I see win8.1 and win8.1 upgrade and in the 8.1 upgrade there is a list of the order to install the drivers.
So my question is if I want to reinstall to solve the problem do I have to do back to win 8 and update as said?
And Windows 8.1 upgrade is referred to un upgrade of 8.1 or the drivers for upgrading from win8?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
All about Win8.1 update you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
In my opinion you should install original Win8 image again and then make Win8.1 update again following instructions from Toshiba page that I post above.

  • Windows 7 - BIOS update question - Satellite A350-13A

    Hi,
    I have the Toshiba A350-13A for Poland.
    It came with Vista 32 bit system. I would like to install there Windows 7 64 bit.
    So I have a question for BIOS update.
    In my toshiba model driver section for WIN7 there is only a 32 bit BIOS for OS independent, but in the Vista section there is a 64 bit BIOS.
    So shall I stay with the 32 bit BIOS or update to Vista 64 bit BIOS?
    best regards.

    Hi
    Do you have any performance or notebook issues using the 32bit BIOS?
    If everything is working properly then leave the 32bit BIOS on your notebook.
    I would recommend updating the BIOS only if some serious problems would appear
    Cheers

  • Update BIOS Satellite S55-A5176 on Debian Linux?

    Can I update my Satellite S55-A5176 BIOS on a Debian based (not Ubuntu) Linux system? I tried doing this in WINE. Only portions of the exe will run. Can I create the bootable BIOS from my Linux machine. Even better can do this from the command line and make a bootable USB? It would be best if I can do this with the operating system without installing poorly support software or library goosehunts.

    There is an issue with the bios on these newer toshibas, at least my model I know for a fact has this problem.
    I have to set my sata interface to "battery life' which is i believe sata 2 mode in order for it to be detected.
    To get into the bios from windows 8 on a newer toshiba follow these steps.
    From within windows 8
    1. Open the side panel and click on Settings
    2. At the bottom click on Change PC Settings
    3. Click on the Update and Recovery
    4. Click Recovery and under Advanced Startup click Restart Now
    5. The Option menu will pop up, click on Troubleshoot
    6. Click on Advanced Options and then click UEFI Firmware Settings
    7. Click Restart and your system will boot into the bios.
    Under the Advanced Tab, set the SATA Interface Setting to "Battery Life" and your ssd should be detected perfectly.

  • Where can i download Intel HD driver update for Satellite A660-1en?

    Where can i download Intel HD driver update for satellite a660-1en?
    (i can't install windows 7 sp1)

    >cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
    It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
    You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

  • Satellite L50T-A - Touchpad not detected

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L50T-A running Windows 8 64-bit. All of a sudden my touch pad has disappeared from settings. When I do a search for new hardware it is not detected either. Is it un plugged?
    I would appreciate pictures with exactly what I must do.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello
    If I understand you right touchpad is not detected and not listed in device manager, right?
    Problem is that you cannot do much about that and force touchpad to work.
    What you can try is to test functionality with factory settings. With other words, you can set BIOS to default settings and reinstall original recovery image. After doing this your notebook will have identical settings as on first day after first start.
    If you do this and the result is the same it is possible that touchpad is defective or there is some problem with touchpad connection to the mainboard. This must be checked by Toshiba service.
    Do you use external mouse at the moment?

  • Windows 8.1 Update is Garbage

    I tried to install the Windows 8.1 update. After 3 hours I found that I only had a blank screen with no keyboard or mouse response. I called into tech support at Microsoft and after waiting and waiting on hold I was told that it might be a video
    driver issue. Meantime, I now have a machine that can no long boot. After several reboots and hitting F8 constantly I was able to get the machine to restore the original operating system, Windows 8 Pro. Then I found out that it did something to 2 of my usb
    ports that now no longer work. I have 3 ports on my Dell XPS 15 and only one of them works now. I cannot find any errors or anyway to reinitialize the 2 ports. Any suggestions? I should have never tried to run this upgrade what a complete waste of time, and
    what a complete piece of crap update. Do Not install this update!!!!

    There seems to be an ongoing theme:  People who are comfortable with undertaking in-depth reconfiguration of their operating system and can rely on their large accumulated base of knowledge from past releases can get Windows 8 to
    work.
    For me Win 8.1 - the fresh install I mentioned up above - is still working every bit as solidly as Windows 7 did for me:  no crashes, no glitches.  I give it hard daily serious desktop use.  Last bootup
    was more than a week ago.  So far the longest stretch I've gone between reboots mandated by Windows Updates or software installs has been 17 days.  It's never crashed.
    But I'm under no misconception, even though I've written a book on how to do it,
    that Windows 8.1 is an easy system for the masses to use.  With 38 years computer engineering experience I can tell you honestly that it taxed me to my limits to turn it into something with which I can get my work done.  Windows 7
    took some skill as well to get running right, but not nearly as much as Windows 8.
    Meanwhile, Microsoft does things like not even bother to document it (try clicking a link in an event log dialog, for example).  There comes a price for reducing support:  Fewer people get it to work well for them.  Fewer people can write
    good drivers for it.  Fewer people can use it.
    Those who know what they're doing worry that Microsoft has lost the very ability to continue to engineer Windows at the professional level.  This version certainly doesn't do
    anything better than its predecessor to make it worth putting up with all the negative changes.

  • Unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1

    Apologies if this is not the right place or this has been posted before (I looked and didn't find anything)
    I am unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1, as I get an 'Operating System not Supported' error message right away.
    What can I do to get this working?

    Hi Zgreve,
    Usually, from
    hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server 2014, we can install SQL Server Express version on the Windows 8.1. For more information, see:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express.
     Before you install SQL Server 2014 Express version, you should ensure installing the .NET Framework 4, then run as administrator for the SQL Server setup.exe again.
     There is a similar detail about install SQL Server Express LocalDB via GUI and command line. You can also review the following steps.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2694/getting-started-with-sql-server-2012-express-localdb/
    If the same error about OS still exists,  I recommend you submitting a feedback to Microsoft such issues at
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback, Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the

  • Windows 8.1 update problem on LENOVO Y510P

    Hey guys, 
    Can't find anything similar to my problem and exhausted my options on this, so decided to ask. If it has been answered I couldn't find, so please point me out on the right direction.
    Back history:
    Have a lenovo y510p
    Bought caddy & SSD drive and installed it onto laptop
    Couldn't find a good doc about how to proced so my idea was
    1-restore factory settings,
    2-Copied the Windows C: partition and the SYSTEM_DRV partition to the SSD using Macrium reflect
    3-Went on the BIOS boot order and set the SSD to boot first.
    4-Voila, works fine, boots C: on the SSD and it's super fast.
    Problem:
    Windows 8.1 update can't install on C:. Bummer
    I receive a notification saying that I can update to windows 8.1, which I want to do.
    1 Hit ok to download,
    2 it starts the update process,
    3 finishes installing,
    4 says it needs to restart
    5-RESTARTS TO THE OLD DRIVE, changing the boot order on the BIOS (**bleep**???)
    I then check that nothing was installed even on the old drive, proceed to shut down computer, change boot order back to SSD drive, start windows and receive a message that it couldn't be installed and it has reverted the installation.
    Has anyone ever experienced that?
    My idea now is to 
    Back up my computer again
    Restore factory settings (on old drive)
    Install windows 8.1 to old drive
    Clone windows partition over 
    Change BIOS to boot up on SSD.
    HOWEVER my question is: What happens when I want to install Windows 10 ? Do you think I'll face the same issue? 
    Should I somehow format the old drive's windows partition to prevent this from happening ? 
    Any help is welcome and I thank you all in advance,
    Cheers

    Did you erase the recovery partition on the old drive? My best guess is to create recovery discs or thumbdrive take the old drive out and put the new drive in and use the discs or thumbdrive to restore the system. Then run the updates and then copy your personal information from the old disc to the new disc.
    As for Windows 10, I do not know if they are going to be doing a clean install with the update to windows 10 or doing an in place update so it is hard to know what problems you will encounter.

  • Problem with iPhone 6 driver on Windows 8.1 Update

    Hi guys,
    Each new device brings new questions: in my case, it's about Windows 8.1 Update (64-bit) not being able to install the proper driver for my new iPhone 6.
    Strangely, I don't have any problem syncing my phone with iTunes via USB, but that won't work over WiFi, and when I plug it into one of the PC's USB ports, I get this window stating that Windows is trying to install the proper driver, but it hangs, then fails.
    Of course, the phone shows in Windows Explorer, but when I double-click on the icon, it shows as empty.
    Have you guys experienced the same thing?

    Hey Jeff,
    Now that you mention it, I may have botched the job when I reinstalled iTunes on that PC: I don't remember allowing the install of the Apple Mobile Device Support...
    I'll give it a go and holler if things go South...

  • Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

    Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
    Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
    that does it with expertise.
    Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
    Thanks in and advance for suggestions

    Hi,
    I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
    Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
    Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.

  • Windows 8.1 update - S440 ThinkPad black screen with flickering cursor.

    Hello,
    Sorry if this is answered elsewhere.
    I have an S440. I've had it for one week. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows 8.1 update from the store. Since then, when I start up the computer, it doesn't even taken me to the 'sign in' screen. There's just a black screen. When I move the cursor, it briefly appears, flickers, then disappears again.
    I understand this is an issue with the graphics drivers. So I ran Windows in safemode and disabled Intel R HD Graphics family and AMD Radeon HD  8600 series graphics drivers.
    This, unfortunately, hasn't fixed the problem. It still boots to a black screen with an occasionally flickering cursor. I'm currently running in safemode.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    I also have an S440 and have tried 3 times to update laptop without success including updating all drivers and updates inc those from Lenovo.
    Is there a fix for this? Is this an AMD issue?
    My laptop is also very new and cannot believe it is incompatible with windows 8.1.
    Tried the compatibility checker with Windows 8.1and it didn't report any problems.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-assistant-download-online-faq 
    Is there anything that can be done to get this working?
