Windows 10: Hello there, I'm using window 11 on a dell inspiron 3850. Whenever I shut it down, it...

Inspiron 15 3850, restarts automatically after shutdownThis started few months back but it was occurring randomly so when I found that laptop is on I thought I put it on sleep and even started doubting my own brain. But after some days I realized it is a problem in my laptop that whenever I shut it down it restarts on its own.It goes like this: I click shut down -> laptop shuts down -> hardly 10 seconds later it restarts.I have tried different things like :1Turning on/off fast startup2Reset windows 3 times 3Checking Device Manager allow to wake this computer option4Automatic

dell inspiron trackpad stops intermittently, even after the gestures are disabled in windows 11.

I looked at this link: Issue trackpad Dell inspiron 15 3511 Windows 11 - Dell Community

Not sure, if this is helpful. But something with the "HID compliant mouse" setting.

Pushkar

 

Windows 10 Home on Dell Inspiron 3847 will not update to 1709

I have two identical boxes with same issue- Windows 10 Home will not update to 1709. Here are the hardware specs & steps taken to fix the problem:

Dell Inspiron 3847
Windows 10 Home ver 1607 OS Build 14393.1944
Intel Core i5-4460 3.2G
12GB RAM
Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600
1TB SATA HDD

It downloads and attempts to install the latest updates then several hours later reverts back to where it was.
So far:
- installed & ran Windows Update Troubleshooter & taken the steps that it suggests
- renamed Windows 10 upgrade folder and downloaded the latest updates
- deleted the software distribution folder & downloaded/installed again
- ran windows cleanup and deleted all those files
- tried stopping & disabling the windows update service to prevent it from continuing
There is licensed software so a clean install is out of the question.

These PC's are installed in a restaurant and when this happens the whole place shuts down during lunch & dinner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

dell inspiron 546

I have just downloaded Windows 10 to a Dell Inspiron 546 with a Dell 810 All in One printer. The previous OS was Windows 7. I had downloaded Windows 10 because the Windows invitation assured me all was well for the download.

Having made the download I discover I can not print. The printer is listed in settings. It used to be the default device.

Can you advise the steps I should take?

Thank you.
