    HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you

    Make sure Cortana is enabled by clicking on Cortana and going to Notebook (2nd icon from the top), select settings. Then say something into your mic like "Hey Cortana, sing me a song". Or you can bypass the "Hey Cortana" bit by clicking the mic icon on the search bar.
