Battery Level Stuck after Updates to Windows Insider Build 16226

$
0
0

My battery level was on 15% then I went for a nap and after waking up, the battery level was still on 15%. I checked if the battery adapter was plugged in correctly and even tested it on another laptop to see if It works and it did. My laptop does charge but only the indicator doesn't work properly as it should. My guess is that there should a problem with the drivers because when I opened device manager and reinstall the AC drivers, it then displays the current battery level but the problem still persists.

Thanks!

why does dell write there recovery software aka windows. to if you get a system with a 1 TB HDD per say. then that's all you can reinstall into it is another 1TB HDD or SSD. and they won't let you create partitions. the computer will just throw a fit that your not reinstalling another drive of the same size that came with the unit when it was shipped. one reason i would not buy anther dell again there to propritary for me

Dell Optiplex 3040 SFF cannot PXE boot windows 7 image

Hi,

I am trying to create a windows 7 image to the new PC's that we have just purchased. On boot after pxe network boot I get the message "Please add the network driver to the windows PE image on Windows Deployment Services." I have added many drivers to WDS with no luck and the correct one from the dell website errors and will not let me added it. I have the packaged the drivers into the install.wim and boot.wim using the AIK but still no luck. The drivers from the dell website do not seem to work in the PE environment. I'm hoping that someone has done this before and can point me to the correct driver. I have been looking for the best part of two weeks and i'm sure it can't be this hard.

Thanks in advance!

Dell Optiplex 755 drivers not working trying to fresh install Windows 7...

Recently bought a second hand Optiplex 755 which the previous owner had for some reason disk park cleaned the HDD and so couldn't get it back to working order and sold it to myself...

So trying to install Windows 7 it asks to put in driver disc or something to install necessary drivers to install Windows 7, so i've downloaded and burned to disc what i believe are the right drivers... 

www . dell . com /support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/dfx2k3j/drivers/advanced

(Remove spaces to follow link, not sure if it was posting properly)

When inserting driver disc as asked it has a window appear with the message,

"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."

As far as i can tell ive got the correct drivers but i am getting nowhere.

Win7-64 Pro Updates

I have a Dell Optiplex 745 desktop, and a Dell Precision M6400 laptop, both running Win7-64 Pro. Both run fine generally. However, with Windows updates, the desktop has no problems, but the laptop constantly has issues, where the updates get installed, go to restart, get to like 97% and fail, go to revert, restart, etc. This is annoying and time consuming. I have run the Dell hardware tests and everything checks out OK. Any ideas what might be the problem?

Win 7 x64 & UEFI boot vs. TPM 2.0 & Bitlocker on Opti 7040 Micro

$

Greetings, all! Here's one that will make you scratch your head. If you've solved this issue please enlighten us!

SCENARIO: Optiplex 7040 Micro, BIOS 1.5.10, UEFI boot for Win 7 64-bit, Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit installed OK, updated to Dell TPM 2.0 applied from here , Microsoft TPM 2.0 Hotfix 459309 for Win 7 applied from here . TPM On and Enabled in BIOS. We want this configuration for maximum security (need to be HIPPA compliant).

From Windows control panel turned on Bitlocker drive encryption (next, next, next, etc.) and Bitlocker finishes. Upon reboot the system displays "Windows is loading files..." message on screen after reboot. Nothing else happens, never loads Windows, just sits there.

Tried just about every different combination of TPM options in BIOS and no change. Even tried to clear TPM and disable TPM, same thing. 

I contacted Dell Tech Direct and their solution was basically "Upgrade to Windows 10". For a number of reasons we cannot upgrade our environment to Win10. Meanwhile I have about three dozen 7040 Micros waiting to be imaged and deployed.

Next I re-did the Win 7 x64 install using Legacy boot, applied the hotfix (still TPM 2.0) and tried bitlocker again. While it was doing "Initializing the TPM security hardware" step it crashed with Error Code 0x80280285: "A problem occurred during BitLocker setup. You may need to restart BitLocker setup to continue." Nice. I have a feeling I'm going to have to back down to TPM 1.2 with Legacy Boot to get bitlocker to work on Win7-64 on this hardware.

If any of you have come across this issue and SOLVED IT please share your magic sauce of  combinations of Windows & Dell patches and possibly voodoo.

These normally build fine with our standard images but 2 new ones refusing to build for some unknown reason. Standard tweaks of legacy build/ enable legacy roms/ disable safe boot applied but after first restart get Windows recovery error screen and just cycles at this point. Build is Windows 7.Have tried various other permutations but unsuccessfully.  Anyone experienced this and been able to resolve? Thanks
