Hi Michelle38,

sadly, I have been unable to fix my issue so far. I also restored the laptop to factory settings - that helped. But unfortunately, there is no way of stopping Windows from downloading those updates again - indefinitely that is. I believe it's MS fault and there isn't much one can do about it except wait for a fix either from MS or HP side, neither of which has happened as of yet.

My BIOS seems up to date according to the HP software which came with my HP Envy 13, for it doesn't recommend me any new updates. I also sent a private message to one of the HP staff, so wonder what he will have to say about it...

 

P.S. Bsod in my case only happens after the latest Windows update, always displaying the same "SrtTrail.txt error".

Welcome to the HP Support Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, there's an issue with the reserved RAM.

 

Appreciate you trying the steps. Don’t worry, I’m here to help! To better assist you - How did you install the operating system? Do you have a Recovery Media or a Retail Copy of the OS? 

 

While you respond to that, let's try these steps -

 

1) Press and Hold the Windows key and Press R.

2) Type msconfig in the Run dialog box and Press Enter.
3) The System Configuration window will open. Go to the Boot tab in it.
4) Select your Operating system from the list below if you have more than one.

5) Now Click on Advanced Options button. On the upper right corner, Clear the checkbox next to Maximum memory. Click Ok. 
6) Now restart your computer. Check of the issue resolved. 


Hope this helps!

HP Stream M# 14-AX010NR, Windows Updates

Hello,

I'm interested in getting an HP Stream 14 but I'm concerned about windows updates slowing it down or making it freeze due to little storage space. I'd like to keep it running quick & efficently. My questions are:

1) How often does this unit need Windows updates ?

2) Can I uninstall the old updates & then install the new ones when it's time so I don't take up all the space to keep it running

    quick & efficently ?

 

Please help !

Hi

It needs Windows updates as often as Microsoft deems it/them.

Buy lots of cloud storage space and an external caddy and HDD.

Regularly backup your data, and have Recovery USB's ready made.

 

Think about what you want to achieve, within your budget, and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) then probably buy something a bit bigger and a bit more flexible.

Hello

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Slowliness is very subjective matter - what is slow for you may be very fast for me, and vice versa. It would be great if you provide details about your problem and include details. Has it always been like this and what has changed recently ?

 

**TKB article existing in the Community for this problem you experience now. You may want to check it out >> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Knowledge-Base/Slowness-My-Computer-is-running-slow/ta-p/6900953

 

Besides following the steps in the article, pay attention to and do the following:

 

Perform some basic hardware checks to rule out hardware problem

 

 

1. Please, shutdown the computer using the power button (pressed and hold for a few seconds until PC powers off)

2. Power the computer back on.

2.1 As soon as you press the power-on button, immediately begin hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap) before any logo appears. This should open a HP Startup Menu

 

3. Choose F2 to open System Diagnostics. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform System Test >> Quick test.

This will check major hardware componets for issue (do it just in case) . Here is more info >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JXUp43ahHA

 

If there are no system checks/no quick tests, perform HDD (hard disk drive) and RAM check (memory check).

 

Let me know the test results.

 

 

 

Back to Windows:

 

1. Optimize

- defragment your Hard Disk Drive (if you have hard disk drive) > https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8933-optimize-defrag-drives-windows-10-a.html

- run Disk Clean Up - cleanmgr.exe > https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3012-disk-cleanup-open-use-windows-10-a.html

 

 

2. Remove unneeded and temporary files. Download and run CCLeaner (from Piriform) with the extra options checked. Here are instructions

>> http://www.howtogeek.com/113382/how-to-use-ccleaner-like-a-pro-9-tips-tricks/

>> http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/portable 

 

 

3. Scan your PC for threats, viruses, malware...

 

3.1.... Run the free ESET Online Scanner >> http://download.eset.com/special/eos/esetonlinescanner_enu.exe

Scan your PC for viruses, threats and unwanted/unsafe applications - remove if anything found.

 

3.2.... Run AdwCleaner >>https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

 

3.3.... Run Kaspersky TDSS Killer >> http://media.kaspersky.com/utilities/VirusUtilities/EN/tdsskiller.exe

 

Let me know in details if they found something and what it was....

 

 

4. Uninstall any programs you definitely do not use but you think might be a bit high on resources. You can uninstall them from Control Panel > Programs and features

 

5. Download and run the free Speccy  > http://www.piriform.com/speccy

Install and run the app

When it is ready, click on File > Save a snapshot

 

A file with .speccy extension will be generated. Please, upload it somewhere (e.g. in your Google Drive, Dropbox, ICloud or OneDrive storage) and give me URL to download/see

 

 

 

Looking forward to your reply.

Re: "Boot Device Not Found" after attempting to do factory reset 3 days in a row

Hi

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

 

The built-in recovery partition is corrupted. This happens occasionally mostly due to some Windows updates. May also be caused by other reasons, though. If the recovery does not work, your best step now is to perform clean "vanilla" Windows 10 installation. And it's great that the hardware tests passed - this confirms the root cause of the problem.

 

Here are instructions how to clean install/reinstall Windows 10:

 

* Video reference >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAvFm52IjI4

 

 

Windows reinstallation / clean installation :

 

- You can directly download Windows 10 ISO from MS site or download >> Media creation tool from Microsoft site, create installation DVD or installation USB  and  proceed with clean installation/reinstallation.

 

Download:

>> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

 

Make sure you select the proper version (64 bit / Home or Pro) if asked.

 

Media Creation tool will always provide you with the latest Windows version/build - now 1809.

 

- When download completes, you will need to write  the ISO image and boot from a bootable media. You will need a blank USB pendrive (min 8 GB capacity). Use the Media Creation tool.

 

 

When ready with the USB drive or with the DVD:

 

Please, shutdown the computer using the power button.

Insert the Windows USB thumdrive prepared previously

Power on the PC.

As soon as you press the power-on button, start hitting the Esc button repeatedly (like tap-tap-tap).

This should open a HP Startup Menu

 

Choose F9 to open Boot options. Select the USB thumb drive as a boot option.

 

- Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 10. Perform clean installation/custom installation (not repair).

Delete all existing partitions and install Windows on Disc 0 Unallocated space

 

- After successful Windows installation, install drivers taken from HP web site or via Windows Update/Device Manager >> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

 

- Make sure Windows is Activated by going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Activation

 

- You might want to stop some of the Windows Telemetry by using free tools such as Spybot AntiBeacon or DWS Lite

 

 

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes
