    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

    Place a shortcut in the following ‘Hidden’ folder:

    Code: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs[/quote] Now open Start Menu > All apps and locate the shortcut you placed. Right-click on it and select Pin to Start.

    That should work. Personally I prefer to pin Excel itself to Start (or the taskbar). A right-click on Excel then brings up the jump list of recently opened documents, with the ability to pin any of them to this jump list.
