very slow new HP Envy Bang & Olufsen Core i7 7th gen

I too have this exact problem.  I have had the computer since December and it has never ever been quick. Never.  My last computer was MUCH faster than this.  I have looked at the Performance and nothing seems to point to slow performance.  My only guess is  that the drive is too big (2 Tb) and this causes slow performance.  

 

I have not been happy with the computer since I got it and I have been a long time HP customer.  I don't think so after this.  It takes about 5 minutes to completely boot up, which is nuts.

 

At least I know I am not alone, and suspect that HP really messed up this computer and we are all stuck with the problems.

I have a HPstream14 ax067nr

 

This computer is not under warranty. It is an experiment. No more, no less. However, I don't want to thrash it needlessly.

 

Is it ok to uninstall the following:

 

HP Wireless Button Driver. There isn't a "Wireless button" on the computer.

 

HP Audio switch.

 

If I don't NEED them, I want to REMOVE them.


Action keys mode enabled doesn't work.

Hi guys, I tried to fix this issue. Now I need your help.
I always used action keys mode ENABLED (don't need Fn to use vol+, vol-, bright+, bright- and so on).
Since 2 days ago these keys are reversed so I must use Fn key. I tried from BIOS to switch to DISABLED and back to ENABLED but it didn't work. I installed last drivers. Nothing. I tried to restore data factory, I tried also with old drivers or with a USB installation. Nothing.
This problem began when I restored data factory two days ago. Maybe It's a bug inside the new upgrade? Help me please.

Laptop not starting and not charging

Hello, 

 

I have met a following problem with my four years old Zbook 15 laptop:

It doesn´t start up with battery and I have managed to get it started without battery and in charger only couple of times.

Led "Charging" is lid when in charger

Whenhappens when I try to start it up:

Charging-led goes off

Power/on -led goes lid

Connections-led goes yellow

After few seconds both Power/on and connections leds goes off and Charging led goes on.

What is this led-blinking indicating?

 

I have managed to get the computer on few times with battery and then it shows that battery is on but not charging.

I have tried to uninstall battery programs from the system management but no luck

 

HP checking program has been tried and it shows that battery is ok. Could it still be that the battery is bad? It is already four years old anyhow.

Laptop asking for administrator password

0
0

A few days ago I clicked on update and shut down while logging off my laptop. The following day in booting up it kept giving me a blue box asking me to select privacy settings and on pressing okay, it would say, ‘something went wrong.’ Everything is running in the background but I just can’t see it because of the blue box. So I tried booting up on safe mode as advised then removing the last update but the **bleep** thing wouldn’t uninstall. I then tried system repairs and system restore to no avail. Finally on trying automatic repair again, it started asking me for administrator password. I never input any password as the administrator at any point. I don’t know what to do now as my laptop has become completely useless. It won’t even boot up on safe mode anymore. Please help.

BIOS F.05 Rev.A won't install on HP Pavilion 15-cs0073cl

Pavilion BIOS F.05 (sp91798) will not install on Pavilion15-cs0073cl

 

HP Support Assistant shows update available.  When downloaded and installed, the option to install is grayed out and says "This BIOS update is not compatible with this device."   I'm currently running F.04  and experiencing lockups so would like to update BIOS to see if this resolves the issue.  Your support website even shows it compatible with my device.

 

How do I get F.05 installed on my laptop?

AMD's latest graphic driver won't work.

So, I cannot install the latest version of AMD'S driver for my graphic card in the laptop. I tried clean install but that didn't work either. All I could do is to stick with the 17.2.1 version because that is the latest one which is working in my laptop. One more upgrade and it would stop working. Please help. 

 

I already updated my BIOS and all the other basic suggestion there are on the internet have been performed already. 

Windows Hello facial recognition not working HP Envyx360

I have the HP envy x360 covertible. I tried to enable facial recognition but it does not even give me the option for it. I tried installing/updating the RealSense Depth Camera but it did not fix it. I thought when I purchased this laptop that it was compatible with facial recognition.

HP omen key does nothing

0
0

Hi. I bought HP omen 15 (2018) and the omen key does nothing.

 

I think this is possibly because I bought an open box from Micro Center and they did not factory reset it correctly, as when I booted the computer the Window was initialized, but only one HP software (omen audio) was on it.

 

I managed to install various software through HP assistant and the Omen control center from Win store. I think I got drivers settled, but still the omen key does nothing. I don't even know what it is supposed to do. Does it bring up Control Center?

 

If there is a way to properly reset it to HP factory condition let me know. Otherwise just tell me how to get something mapped to the omen key. I would like it to be Home key if possible (It seems Fn+Omen works as Home now)
