Assoon as I upgraded my Windows to Windows 11 (the day this patch launched), my laptop's speakers stopped responding. They are, in fact, working and I hear the sounds, but they're always on maximum volume, no matter how loud I want them to be. They only work as usual when I plug my headphones or other devices in. I've reported this problem to the Microsoft center multiple times, adding to that Bluetooth random disappearance from the system itself (it was fixed somehow just a few days after), but nothing has changed ever since. After talking to the Microsoft support center, we came to the conclusion that it is the problem with my laptop. Can this be even fixed? I love my laptop and surely did nothing bad to it.
Hey guys! The problem I described here was fixed pretty fast! Basically, you need to check whether your Windows patch is completely installed (the person who helped me said that Windows 11 is lagging and crashing, so it's normal for it to be installed only partly) and check your drivers inside the program, not just by going to the settings. My Windows 11 was installed again (yes, I lost some of my files, but that was worth it, so save everything you won't be able to return). After installation, my speakers started working correctly, but they crashed again two times, so check the sound drivers again and again. It's been more than a month since I did it and everything is just fine now
I had the same problem, many HP agents tried to helped me, but didnt managed to solved it. Until I was lucky and an agent named Gary Perez helped me and solved it. Now I know how to do it, if you need help let me know.
Hi! Thank you so much for the reply I will definitely keep in mind that I can ask for your advice, but I think it's safer for me to go to the repair center since my laptop has been acting quite weird lately. I'm afraid my complaints will only bother you at this point.
I am setting up a new Pavilion 17-f105na laptop on my home network. Wired connection fine, but no luck trying to connect to router by WiFi . Having recently set up a Pavilion desktop WiFi without problem, I've compared everything and can find no obvious difference, so trying the 'simple' way now by using WPS.
Router is a Netgear DGN2200. The Netgear instructions for using WPS say to press the WPS button on the router, then within 2 minutes press the WPS button on the PC or do whatever else the instructions with the WiFi adaptor say. No instructions for setting up by WPS came with the laptop (bad mark to HP!), but I downloaded the User Guide from the HP web. This simply says to click on the required network connection and then press the WPS button on the router. No luck
In the end I reset the router to factory defaults. The laptop then connected OK. After that I then added back to the router one at a time all the settings which I had made originally, checking after each one that the connection still worked, and finally I got back to where I was originally with the laptop conenction still working. So, fingers crossed, the problem is now resolved, tho I've no idea where it went wrong in the first place.

Why you need WPS on a laptop ? Having a dozen of laptops around from 4 vendors inclduing HP, I can't find any button called WPS on a laptop. The set up is very simple for a Windows machine, from 1 to 2 mins max, given you already setup the router properly
Is it your new computer ? For a new computer it should guide you to connect to the Internet first time when you logon. Is it an old computer ? If yes, did you downgrade/upgrade the machine ? What is it running now ? Have you checked F12 ?
The super-sensitivity of the keyboard and mouse make this laptop very difficult to use. It has been this way since the first day I used it. Is there any way I can decrease the sensitivity? Slight movements of the mouse make things jump around. Hitting keys sometimes produce unwanted effects. The cursor goes to unexpected places. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a parallel suggestion to make the keyboard less sensitive? Things jump around with the slightest random touch to the keyboard. I've worked with computers for many years and never had this issue.
1. Hold down the keyboard win+R key to call up the run box, and enter regedit in the run box to call up the registry editor, as shown in the figure below.
2. Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER option in the registry edit page, click on the option to enter the next page
3. Find the Control Panel option in the new pop-up page, click on the option to enter the next page
4. Find the Keyboard option in the newly pop-up page, click on the option to enter the next page
5. Modify the keyboarddelay on the newly pop-up page. The smaller the number, the smaller the delay. Modify keyboardspeed. The larger the number, the faster the speed. Just modify the number to the value you want.
I used Macrium Reflect to make a backup of my HP Pavilion laptop. Macrium Reflect uses a USB stick which is set up to boot the computer when there is a need to install the backup. I thought I had told the computer to boot from the USB stick if one is inserted, but the laptop always boots the normal way.
a suggestion for OP to look up the HP pavilion laptop model on the HP computer support site, then look for the Manuals section and click on the user guide link and read the section for entering bios setup
Actually, on the HP Pavilion laptop, the trick to get to the BIOS is to start the booting process and rapidly keep pressing the ESC key. It takes you right to the BIOS, where you can specify the boot sequence.
My problem was RESOLVED. To get to the BIOS on an HP Pavilion laptop, keep pressing ESC quickly when the boot process starts. That takes you right to the BIOS, where you can alter and save the boot sequence.
Admittedly, I have been living a happy life in Appleland for the past few years and haven't stopped to check out what's been brewing in the PC world. Now that I have been tinkering with the HP Pavilion dv4t laptop that I am going to give away, I was a bit surprised by what it could do and what it was packing. I'll start off with the basics. The dv4t notebook line is aimed at the student crowd. It starts at under 1,000 for the base model and features a glossy 14.1-inch screen.
Fortunately, the model I am going to be giving away is far from the base spec. It boasts 4GB of RAM, a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Windows Vista Ultimate (if it was mine, I'd wipe it and go with Ubuntu), GeForce 9200M GS graphics, a blu-ray drive, a 320GB Western Digital hard drive and a 250GB Hitachi hard drive expansion if you slide out the blu-ray drive. In addition, the dv4t sports an external Serial-ATA port and HDMI output - pretty spiffy. I've heard of entertainment-oriented notebooks, such as the Voodoo Envy, coming with HDMI and eSATA ports, but not from such a mainstream manufacturer as HP. eSATA makes it very easy to connect a large external disk and retain the speed and minimal overhead of a Serial-ATA connection. The dv4t also packs in a web cam and fingerprint reader.
Aimed at the student slash entertainment crowd means that HP built this computer well-aware that most students use their computer as their only media device. That means it takes the role of TV, internet device and so on. Windows Media Center is at the heart of these functions. When not using the ExpressCard slot, you can stow away a tiny Infrared remote control that can manage Windows Media Center features as well as HP's own "QuickPlay" center, which takes over Blu-ray playback.
I tested the HDMI output by hooking it up to my 50-inch Samsung HDTV and it was recognized quickly. When I tried to play a blu-ray movie through the dv4t I ran into a snag saying that the protected media was not allowed to play on the screen, when I know that my HDTV is HDCP-compliant. Then I made the HDTV the primary screen in the Nvidia settings and it worked.. a bit. I kept getting digital distortion as the blu-ray played. See video below:
Further investigation proved that the dv4t created such distortion even when not connected to any other display. I only own one blu-ray disc so it's hard for me to tell if this is a disc issue or a dv4t issue.
