Windows 10: All my laptops (Dell E6430s) have some weird issue with updates.

I have loads of Dell E6430s.

5 were in use and were working fine. The remaining were just in storage.

Today I needed few of those storage laptops, I turned them on and all of them are giving an issue with Windows Updates and AutoDesk updates.
Screenshot attached.

AutoDesk app plainly shows that it's not able to connect to the internet (even though I am and can surf with any browser, already checked proxy settings).
I though it must be cause of they were turned off for about 5 months, the 5 laptops were in use started giving the same issue.

All laptops have Windows 10 (1803), April 2018 update installed on them, no disk cloning, on all laptops Windows 10 was clean installed manually.


Please help.

Dell E6430 Touchpad


Hi everyone,

I have a Dell E6430 laptop and the ALPS touchpad does not work properly under Windows 10 Pro.
On bootup only the left button works, and this is behaving reversed (as if it was a right button click), and the right button does not work at all.
Can only really use the laptop with an external mouse plugged in.
Have tried various Alps drivers but to no avail.
Any suggestions at all ?
thanks
Mike

 

Dell Latitude E6430 starts up, black screen

Hi all,

Since a few weeks my laptop (Dell Latitude E6430) has been acting weird. I always turn my laptop off the ‘correct’ way (via Start menu), but a few weeks ago, when I turned on my laptop it started up fine, but there was no screen whatsoever; it was just a
black screen.

I turned it off, removed the battery and unplugged the battery cord, pressed the power on button for 30 seconds and then i plugged the battery etc etc in. Sometimes only doing his worked, sometimes I had to press F2 and then F1 (if I press F2 while also
pressing on the power button, a “keyboard initializing failure” menu popped up, that’s how I could press F1 and it just continued starting up and booting to the Windows 10 system).

However, none of these things work now. I’ve been trying this whole evening to get my laptop to work, nothing happens

Here is a video to “demonstrate” my issue:

I hope someone can help (and understood my issue, English is not my first language so I hope this was clear)

Thank you very much.
