Windows 10: Dell Precision 7540 Hanging Taskbar and Desktop

Hello,I have a Precision 7540 that was working fine until being dropped 1 day and then overheated in direct sunlight the following day.Following the overheat, the laptop froze up and took several hours of cooling to be able to boot.After booting up, the machine would run fine for a few minutes then become unresponsive where the taskbar, icons and start menu are not working.The only way to recover is to run task manager and kill an app, it does not matter which one.I have reached out to Dell tech support who had me try reinstalling windows 10 and then update and install all the current drivers.

Dell Precision 7540 integrated camera inverted

I have a really annoying problem with integrated camera on my Dell 7540 on Windows 11.

The video/image from the camera is color inverted and I can't fix it as there is only the default MS's driver available (ver 10.0.22000.469).

Dell does not have any newer driver.

Could anybody help me on this issue?

 

Dell Precision 5820 no network connection

Hello together,

we have some Dell Precision 5820 clients, that we must migrate to Windows 10.

We are installing our clients with a unattended.xml file and joining directly during the unattend phase to our domain. The Windows PE phase are working very fine, the Windows installation and Domain Join also. But when there is coming the first logon screen,
the client have no network connection.

We have also some other 1.000 Dell clients (other models), that have not the problem. This is only on all Dell Precision 5820 clients.

When is working:

• When we let the client join a workgroup, then the client have a network connection. When we switch to the domain, the network is working also. If we rebooting 3 -5 the client, we have again our problem.
• Reboot the client with no network cabel and plug in few seconds later, after the client is started, the cabel. The client will become a IP address.
• The IP address will receive from our DHCP server.

I have testet the following steps, but nothing from there fixed the problem.

• Testet the original Intel network driver
• The latest Dell network driver
• Domain Join to a extra OU in the AD, with block inheritance GPO
• Disabled some speed options in the BIOS for performance (only 1 core, disable Intel SpeedStep)
• Reservation on the DHCP server
• Fixed IP address
• Plugin the Client to a DSL AVM FritzBox, but the same problem to receive a address via DHCP.
• Analysed on the client via Wireshard, there is only a DHCP discover.

Any suggestions what we can analyse?

Best regards

 

How do you Pin Dell SupportAssist To The Desktop and Taskbar?

Please suggest how you can pin Dell SupportAssist to the Desktop and Taskbar. The control panel shows that the Dell SupportAssist is a program on the laptop. Dell Support Pro installed it, however, I cannot find it to open it. My
OS is windows 10. I have an Inspiron 55. Thank you!
