What is the true nightmare for people who are using Windows 10 device? The dead blue screen which depicts the driver state power failure problem. Most of the Windows 10 users switch their panic mode on when they face driver state power failure problem. However, there is nothing to worry and there are simple steps to counter the driver state power failure problem which will be discussed in this article to help you through the so called “tough times”.

Driver state power failure problem is usually due to the fault in any of the drivers of the system which might be due to outdated drivers or when you are trying to put your computer to sleep or reviving from it. This type of problem is especially prevalent in computers which have been recently upgraded from Windows 8 or older versions. However, driver state power failure problem can be simply solved by updating the system.

There are several methods by which driver state power failure problem can be solved which are discussed below.

Updating Driver Software

This is the simplest possible way by which the driver state power failure problem can be solved.

1. Access the Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update.
2. Click to check for any kind of updates that might be available.
3. Once the update has been installed, restart your computer and the driver state power failure problem should be solved.
4. Go to the “device manager” by opening Run (Windows Key + R) and type “devmgmt.msc”. Press enter to open the device manager.
5. Now check all the devices manually and update driver software for any device which has a yellow sign against it.

Troubleshooting with Driver Verifier

The driver state power failure problem can be solved with the help of tools like Driver Verifier which can detect and rectify any kind of problem that the hardware of your Windows 10 device may be facing.

1. Go to the search option in Windows 10 and type “Verifier” and from the list of options available select “Verifier” which is a driver verify manger.
   
2. You will be provided with a list of various check boxes which you need to click individually to customize the settings.
3. When you click “Next” after customizing the setting you will be provided with a list of drivers to select from.
4. Now you will be presented with a “Provider”  tab. In this tab you need to select the various drivers that are not by Microsoft.
5. Once you have completed all the above steps, click on the “Finish” button to solve the driver state power failure problem.

Updating BIOS

Updating your BIOS to solve the driver state power failure problem can be a pretty simple task which can be done within a few minutes. However, this task has to be done with the utmost care and proper instructions have to be followed in order to prevent any kind of damage to the Windows 10 device. It is best if you can make a spare copy of all your important files before you update your BIOS.

1. The First thing you need to do while updating your BIOS is to detect which motherboard you are using and the version of it.
2. Next you need to confirm the version of the BIOS your Windows 10 device is currently running on.
3. Download the latest BIOS file available from the net.
4. Switch on the “Live Update” utility tool that is present in your device.
5. You will be provided with a “Save Current BIOS Data” which you need to save in the folder of your choice for safety reasons (in case any trouble occurs).
6. If your software is not up to date, you need to do that before updating your BIOS.
7. You will be provided with an option “Update BIOS from a File” which you need to select if you have already downloaded your BIOS file and select the folder in which it has been saved. Or else you can also select “Update BIOS from the Internet” option in which case the BIOS will be first downloaded and then updated.
8. Your utility diver will provide you with a comparison between your old and your new BIOS data which you need to check carefully and thoroughly before clicking on the “Flash” or “Update” button.

Removing Problematic Drivers in Safe Mode

If all the methods fail, then the only way to solve the driver state power failure problem is by removing the drivers which are causing the errors in a safe mode.

1. Boot Windows 10 in safe mode using one of the four ways described in this post. 
2. Turn the PC on in safe mode and uninstall the driver which is causing the problem.
3. To uninstall the driver open the device manager, then right click on the required driver and select uninstall option.

We hope that the solutions discussed in the article have helped to you solve the driver state power failure problem that you might have encountered while using your Windows 10 device. Happy to help!

Microsoft in 2015: The Good, the Meh, and the WTF

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 ,office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft had an incredible year, with some epic moments. So without further ado, here’s my look at Microsoft’s 2015, the good, the meh, and the WTF.

Good

I often hear about how negative I am, but I really just reflect what’s really happening. And on that note, Microsoft had some triumphant moments in 2015.

Windows 10

For all the miscues noted below, Microsoft’s 2015 will always be defined by Windows 10, which is nothing but goodness. As I noted in my review, Windows 10 is superior to both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and its user experience works as well or better on the different Windows device types—traditional PC form factors for Windows 7 and “touch-first” devices like tablets and 2-in-1s for Windows 8.1—than do its predecessors. But Windows 10 also exceeds Windows 7 and 8.1 in other ways, with an evolved universal apps platform that all users (and developers) can embrace, cross-platform chops that are unparalleled on other mobile and desktop computing systems, and an adaptable, user-focused user interface that can be customized to your liking at every step of the way. And it respects the way you work, whether that’s keyboard and mouse, touch, pen/stylus, or any combination of those things.

No software is perfect, as the old adage goes. But Windows 10 gets pretty damned close.

Microsoft Band 2

We are awash in wearables these days, but most of them seem to serve little purpose beyond being or copying an Apple product. Fortunately, Microsoft has chosen a different path. And with Band 2, the firm is again firing on all cylinders, delivering the right mix of features and improvements. This is my favorite wearable, by far, and the one that will grace my wrist going forward.

Surface Pro 4

Surface Pro 4 is a magical, nearly perfect device that improves on its excellent predecessor with a bigger screen, a lighter and thinner body, vastly superior processing and power management, more RAM and storage options, a superior new Type Cover with a real glass trackpad, and so much more. With Surface Pro 4, the 2-in-1 form factor has in effect been perfected. And it’s awesome.

Xbox One with New Xbox Experience

It’s too bad that Xbox One stumbled out of the gate—OK, before the gate, really—because Microsoft has kept up a steady drumbeat of improvements since its 2013 launch. And with the New Xbox One Experience, things get even better, with Windows 10 underpinnings, a gorgeous and usable new dashboard, an improved and faster Xbox Guide, and Xbox 360 game compatibility. For Xbox fans, this is the perfect storm, and a dream come true. And more is coming in 2016, with Cortana and universal app compatibility.

Continuum

Continuum has emerged as a key differentiator for Microsoft on PCs, tablets and now phones, offering a peek at the future today. It’s particularly useful on tablets and 2-in-1s, allowing the user experience to adapt on the fly based on the hardware configuration. But even the phone experience is pretty amazing, offering a way to turn your pocket-sized device in a real PC, with keyboard, mouse, HDTV and USB storage compatibility. Are you kidding me?

Meh

Sometimes Microsoft delivers something that isn’t actually all that bad. It’s just that no one even notices or cares.

Lumia 950/950 XL

I really like the Lumia 950 I’m currently using, and I’d consider switching to the phablet-class 950 XL. But I’m apparently in a tiny minority on this one, with even Windows phone enthusiasts complaining about the high prices, scattered availability, incompatibility with popular wireless providers, cheap case, hot running temperatures, and more. Too little too late is such a trite saying. But. Yeah.

Windows 10 Mobile

Windows 10 Mobile isn’t bad, in fact I like it quite a bit. It’s just that it has no good apps, no viable ecosystem support, no mobile payments, no distribution at all via new phones, no easy way to update existing phones, and no market share. In fact, it’s a sad statement for the platform that the only reasonable way to get this system is to sign up for a beta program that downloads massive full OS installs every few weeks. This, folks, is Windows 10 Mobile. And it’s too bad.

Microsoft Edge

I love the idea of a streamlined new Microsoft web browser that actually adheres to web standards. It’s just that I can’t use it. As originally launched, Microsoft Edge didn’t even support PC-to-PC syncing of bookmarks and settings—yes, really—and as 2015 draws to a close, it still doesn’t support extensions like ad blockers and password managers. And if you don’t use a Windows 10 Mobile phone, which is normal, you’ll never get PC-to-phone sync either. So as I write this, Edge is absolutely worthless, and it’s driven me to keep using Chrome and Firefox instead.

Microsoft Office 2016

If Microsoft releases a new version of Office and no one notices, did it really release a new version of Office? The biggest selling point of Office 2016 appears to be collaboration, a message that is more than a bit undercut by the fact that only oneof the desktop applications (Word 2016) even supports real-time collaboration. As far as I’m concerned, the nicest thing about Office 2016 is that it’s prettier, thanks to a new Colorful theme. And, yes, Tell Me and Smart Lookup are really cool. But Office just isn’t setting the world on fire anymore, and it’s perhaps notable that Microsoft’s approximately 1100 new productivity-oriented mobile apps got a lot more press in 2015.

WTF

This is Microsoft. Punching itself in the face. Again. And again. And again.

Surface Book reliability issues

Sorry, but Microsoft really blew the Surface Book launch, turning me from a wide-eyed-believer into a frightened little animal that jumps behind a tree at any little reliability issue. You cannot charge premium prices for a luxury product, completely screw it up with display and power management issues, and then announce you’re not fixing anything until after the holidays(typical) because it’s a “very hard computer science problem.” This is unacceptable and it would be laughable if it weren’t so serious.

HoloLens is a lie

All year long, Microsoft has been lying to you about HoloLens. And all year long, I’ve been telling you the truth. Which is this: Despite all the incredible on-stage demos you’ve seen, the field of vision is far too small. That is, as you look forward out through the HoloLens headset, you can of course see peripherally, but the area in which you can see holograms is a small rectangle in the middle of your vision. It’s like looking through a small portal, or a submarine periscope. You can’t see anything that is not right in the middle of your field of vision. It’s … constraining. It’s also disappointing, given how Microsoft advertises this product. Which will not be made available to consumers anytime soon, another lie.

Candy Crush in Windows 10

Microsoft has a history of over-compensating for its mistakes, and the app bundling in Windows 10 is a typical example. Why Windows 10 ships with apps like 3D Builder (what the f that is) we’ll never know. Why Windows 10 doesn’t let you uninstall built-in apps like Groove, OneNote, and Mail is likewise a mystery for the ages. But why Microsoft choose to bundle Candy Crush Saga—a three-year-old mobile game—with Windows 10 just highlights how out of touch this company is. At least you can uninstall it.

Low-end Lumia Windows phones

I won’t belabor the point because Microsoft appears to have belatedly received the message: There were far too many nearly-identical but painfully different low-end Lumias released in early 2015. And by continuing the broken strategy for over a year, Microsoft may have stuck the final dagger in Windows phone’s back. Congratulations.

OneDrive reliability

Microsoft dropped support for placeholders in Windows 10, a decision I did not agree with. But the reasoning behind this was sound, and the promise was a more reliable service. Which did not pan out at all in 2015. In fact, OneDrive was so unreliable this year that I switched to the far more expensive—but far more reliable—Dropbox for my most important work. Way to win over your fans, guys.

OneDrive unlimited storage

In what is now apparently an annual tradition, the OneDrive team dropped a bomb on its best customers in November and revealed that it would not provided unlimited storage to Office 365 customers and was killing off most of its free and promotion storage options. The firm (much) later apologized for the ham-handed way in which it handled this communication, but only took minor steps to address the concerns. Sorry, guys. You can’t win back trust that way.

Project Astoria

Imagine that Microsoft invents a technology that lets users of Windows 10 Mobile (which no one uses) run Android apps (the most popular mobile platform on earth). Now imagine that this technology worked sogood that it scared the living beejezus out of management, so they decided to limit it to developers so that they could port their Android apps to Windows. Now imagine that even that worked too well for comfort, and that they canceled that too. Yeah. That happened in 2015. And in fumbling around for the year, Microsoft now enters 2016 with absolutely no strategy for dealing with the Android app explosion. Which, when you think about it, is pretty much Windows phone in a nutshell anyway. Directionless.

Office for Windows 10 Mobile with Continuum to Require Office 365

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

To date, Windows phone users have benefited from free access to the full functionality of the Office Mobile apps, while users on other platforms required an Office 365 subscription for editing functionality. That’s not changing in Windows 10 Mobile … Unless you use Continuum.

In a blog post that “reveals” that Office Mobile is now pre-installed on your new Windows 10 phone, as if that weren’t always the case with previous Windows phone versions, and on upgrades to Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft also threw out this little tidbit. Literally as a footnote.

Editing in Word, Excel and PowerPoint with Continuum for phones will require an Office 365 subscription, but is available to try without Office 365 through March 31, 2016.

In other words, editing documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint is still a free benefit of Windows 10 Mobile … when you use those apps on your phone. But if you tether than phone to a larger display, as you might with a Miracast dongle or Microsoft’s Continuum-based Wireless Display Dock, then you will need an Office 365 subscription.

This requirement is also true of the Office Mobile apps on Windows 10, iPhone, iPad, and Android. That is, you need an Office 365 subscription to edit documents with Office Mobile on those devices.

Frankly, I’m not a fan of this requirement, though I understand the thinking. My argument is that Continuum doesn’t have enough benefit to put it over the top as-is, and that letting users edit Office documents might be enough, in some cases, to justify the functionality. That is, anyone who actually pays for a new Lumia or other Windows 10 Mobile handset and a Continuum solution (which will usually be made by Microsoft too) is already all-in on the platform. Why require Office 365? (Especially when that crowd is likely to use Office 365 already anyway.) This makes no sense to me.

Anyway. Enjoy free Office document editing with Office Mobile, Windows 10 Mobile, and Continuum through the end of March. Hopefully, Microsoft will change its mind by then.

Office 2016 for Mac Updated with OpenDocument Support, More

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com

Microsoft has updated Office 2016 for Mac, adding support for OpenDocument formats, native screenshot management, and custom citations.

Here’s a quick rundown of each new feature.

OpenDocument Format (ODF) support. Office 2016 now supports ODF text, presentation and spreadsheet document types. This capability was also added to the Office Mobile apps for iOS.

Easier screenshots. Now you can take a screenshot, or insert an existing screenshot, from Word, PowerPoint or Excel 2016 by clicking the new Screenshot button in the Insert ribbon.

Custom citations. Available in Word 2016 for Mac, this new feature lets you add custom citations from external sources in addition to the default citation options. Citations can be added in various formats, including APA, Chicago-style, GOST, IEEE, ISO 690, and MLA, and you can create your own citations sources.

Microsoft To Speed Up Release Cadence Of Windows 10 To Insiders In January

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

If there is one thing Insiders love, it’s new builds of Windows 10. So, when the company announces that they are going to be releasing builds as a faster pace, it should be a time of excitement but also cautionary celebration.

To reach the faster release cycle, the company is going to lower the threshold of what qualifies a build for release to the fast ring. The company says the standards used for release will be much closer to that of their internal rings for those who are in the Fast ring.

Seeing as they are lowering their standards for what can enter the Fast ring, the trade-off is that there could be much larger bugs that are harder to deal with on a daily basis. It’s the risk and reward scenario of giving out more builds but at the same time, the telemetry received by the team will also help to stabilize the builds too.

Of course, it should be noted that the company did say previously that they would speed-up the release cadence for Insiders. That promise did not materialize in the way that many had hoped but it does seem that they are much more sincere this time around.

The faster build release cycle is expected to start in January which means that if you do not want to live on dangerous side, or you need your machine always performing at its best, you should switch to the Slow ring now to avoid any show-stopping issues. Otherwise, hold on tight, as the builds will be coming faster which should make for a wild ride.

Microsoft Posts Developer Videos for Windows 10 Version 1511

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft’s Channel 9 has posted a new series of videos dedicated to getting developers up-to-date on the changes in Windows 10 version 1511. These videos are essentially an on-demand version of a live event that Microsoft recently held.

As a refresher, Microsoft does a great job with its developer-oriented videos, which are typically posted to Channel 9 and/or Microsoft Virtual Academy.

For beginning and aspiring developers, I strongly recommend Bob Tabor’s amazing and free Windows 10 development for absolute beginners video series. This series is an astonishing 80 episodes long and it covers an amazing array of topics. (And if you don’t know the C# programming language, no worries: Bob offers a great C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners seriestoo.)

For more advanced/experienced developers, Microsoft’s Developer’s Guide to Windows 10 with Shen Chauhan and Andy Wigley is the way to go. This series was originally presented as a live, two day whirl-wind tour of the Windows 10 developer platform.

So, perhaps not surprisingly, the new Developer’s Guide to Windows 10 Version 1511 is a follow-up to that latter series. It, too, was a live event, and it’s now available on-demand from the Channel 9 web site.

Major new features in this update include Windows 10 for Mobile, Continuum for Mobile, next gen authentication using Windows Hello and Microsoft Passport, and the new Windows Store for Business. Learn how developers can take advantage of these new features.

Windows 10 is Now Active on 200 Million Devices Worldwide

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft announced this morning that Windows 10 is now “active” on over 200 million devices worldwide. This figure presumably includes PCs, phones, Xbox Ones, and other devices, though Microsoft doesn’t explicitly state that.

UPDATE: Microsoft has now confirmed that the 200 million figure includes non-PC devices like Xbox One. –Paul

As you may recall, Microsoft chief marketing office Chris Capossela exclusively told Mary Jo Foley and me during a December 2015 live interview that we could expect a new milestone number for Windows 10 in early January.

This is only the second time that Microsoft has revealed Windows 10 usage figures. The first time was in late August, when the firm revealed that there were 75 million devices running the new OS. At that time, I compared the uptake rate to those of Windows 7 and Windows 8 and determined that the Windows 10 launch was easily the most successful in modern days.

“The real reason the Windows 10 figure is so astonishing is because of the upgrades,” I wrote. “Before this release, in-place upgrades were one of the most unreliable and scary things a user could attempt, and it was so bad very few Windows users ever did try it. With Windows 10, the vast majority of the initial 75 million users did in fact upgrade their PCs. And they did so successfully. That’s the 75 million … that is a triumph, no matter what you think of the math.”

But now it’s four months later. There are 125 million more Windows 10 devices “active” out there in the world, since that August announcement (which came at the one-month mark). So what’s different? Two things stand out.

This isn’t just PCs anymore. When Microsoft announced the 75 million milestone, Windows 10 was available only on PCs. So that number was all PC upgrades, with a handful of new PC purchases. Today, we have Windows 10 in Xbox One, in new Lumias, and in some IoT-type devices. So there is a wider field of device types from which to choose.

Windows 10 uptake is amazing. Despite the availability of Windows 10 on new device types, the average monthly usage gain over the past quarter was 31.25 million units per month. That is dramatically better than the standard-bearer, Windows 7, which was artificially massaged to accomplished 20 million units per month. You might claim that the uptake has slowed dramatically, since the first month was 75 million units, but come on. That was the first month. The first month should always be considered an anomaly. And if we factor in the entire period of time Windows 10 has been available, Microsoft has seen an average of 40 million active new Windows 10 devices come online each month so far. That’s double the rate of Windows 7, which is widely considered (except by me) to be the best-selling version of Windows ever.

In other words, this is nothing but great news.

And if you’re wondering about the 164 million figure I just wrote about in yesterday’s Thurrott Daily, that’s clear enough: The 36 million figure is non-PC devices like Xbox Ones, Windows phones, and IoT devices.

Microsoft’s take on this milestone is interesting as well. It claims:

Windows 10 adoption is accelerating. Microsoft says that over 40 percent of new Windows 10 devices became active since Black Friday. This tells me that the linear growth days of Windows 7 are long over. And that the coming year will not be one uninterrupted upward spike.

Windows 10 is on the fastest growth trajectory of any version of Windows. Proving my point above, Microsoft says that Windows 10 “[usage] growth” outpaces Windows 7 by nearly 140 percent and Windows 8 by nearly 400 percent. Of course, that last one is a low bar.

Highest engagement on Windows ever. This is the new Microsoft metric. People spent over 11 billion hours on Windows 10 in December alone, Microsoft says, “spending more time on Windows than ever before.”

Windows Store growth Here, Microsoft is desperate to hide the fact that the universal app story is Windows 10’s Achilles Heel. The “new” Windows Store has seen a “2x increase in the number of paid transactions from PC and tablet customers this holiday season,” Microsoft says. 60 percent of paying customers in December were new to the Store.

Momentum. Microsoft says it sees “accelerating and unprecedented demand for Windows 10 among enterprise and education customers.” Over 76 percent of Microsoft’s enterprise customers are in active pilots of Windows 10. And there are now over 22 million devices running Windows 10 across enterprise and education customers.

OK, some of the Microsoft claims are … nebulous. But again, this is great news overall. And there’s no way to claim otherwise.
