Why oh why does Micro$oft (and Crapple) have to jack with everything - then the computer manufacturer has to try and fix it, then "they" break it again. Why the vicious cycle? And the consumer is the one that suffers...
So, I just installed the latest updates from Micro$oft, then the fixes from HP, and then spent hours trying to get everything working again; except for the LED on the mute button.
I have searched and searched. I found all kinds of discussion, but everyone seemed to have a "stuck on" condition. I still tried some of the appropriate solutions, disabling the drivers, reinstalling the drivers, installing old drivers. I did not do a restore because I would lose some of the application updates I had to install because of the M$ and HP updates. Nothing has worked.
Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I firmly believe that when Micro$oft steered away from XP, and tried to make everything tablet oriented and graphically flat (because they weigh down the system with their inefficient coding) with Windose 8 (I won't mention VISTA, though Windows 7 wasn't too bad), they clearly signaled that they no longer cared about us consumers, that they are arogant that they cannot be unseated, and ruined any chance of being a trusted member of the computing community.
But for the fact that we have Windows and Apple based systems at work, I would be wholly Linux and Android... but, enough venting.
The problem I have is that the mute button works, but the LED does not toggle on and off, it stays dark! It was broken by a Microsoft update, and overlooked by HP?
I rely fairly heavily on that indicator! Has anyone seen this problem? Does anyone know what the fix is?
Thanks,
James
