Win10 Driver Issue

Well that certainly makes me feel better, and in fact, the speakers "popped" when the monitors & external hdd's stopped working, so a power spike does sound like a feasible explanation. Thank you for all of your help.

Win10 Driver Issue

ok, I will give that a shot but I think all of these attempts are negatively affecting my Windows installation. Yesterday while typing an email, both of my external monitors (HDMI via USB Hub) went black & my two external (USB 3.0) drives were immediately disconnected. I assumed the problem...

Win10 Driver Issue

Directly installing the Dell driver yields the same results as installing the Intel driver, HOWEVER, after clicking the "OK" button on the "The setup program failed to install one or more device drivers. Setup will exit" dialog box (see screenshot in previous post), the following "success"...

Win10 Driver Issue

Ok, that's good to know. My Intel Core i7-6700HQ fluctuates from about 60C to 70C with a moderate load - is that what you would expect? Here is a screenshot of the data you requested:

Win10 Driver Issue

I have tried the steps that you outlined, however I'm still having problems. After removing all current drivers & scanning for hardware changes, the items under the "Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework" parent are no longer showing an error, however there is now an "Unknown Device" in...

Win10 Driver Issue

I have been trying to solve the following windows update problem for about a month and am hoping somebody here may be able to shed some light on it. Each time WU runs on my Dell XPS 15 9550 I receive the following error: "Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework...

[SOLVED] You guys saved my bacon

I installed the latest driver (8.1.10605.221,A02) from the Dell 9550 driver site a few months ago (Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver Driver Details | Dell US). WU didn't start bugging me about this until a month or so later. I've also run the Intel Driver Update Utility...

[SOLVED] You guys saved my bacon

Thank you very much for the help - I really appreciate it. FYI, I ran "SFC /SCANNOW" & the same DSIM command last night (had to mount a win10 ISO first), which I believe fixed a problem with a shortcut file (absolutely no idea why/how that would be an issue): "[SR] Repairing corrupted file...

[SOLVED] You guys saved my bacon

Hey there - I joined late last night (early this morning) after I found some amazing forums on SFC and DISM problems. Using the advice, I was able to get SFC to work properly and fix corrupt files by using DISM RestoreHealth with a mounted Windows 10 ISO. I just wanted to thank everybody for...

Change Background Of Settings App To A Dark Background

Re: How To Change Background Of Settings App To A Dark Background Followed these steps but no color change occurred. I'm running Windows 10 Home (i'm still not sure why Dell would sell a new i7 laptop with this installed), and a quick internet search finds the following: "We’ve been told the...
