    Sony Vaio SFEP driver

    I have a Sony Vaio VPCCW2S1E. It was upgraded to Windows 10 when the free upgrade became available, but the Nvidia drivers weren't available so I put W7 back on. I now have a new laptop and decided to try upgrading the Sony again so our son can have it.

    I have done a few clean installs on other laptops, so did a clean install, after some waiting and doing Windows updates, drivers were all installed, including the Nvidia ones. There are two exclamation marks in device manager. One is for the SFEP driver, the other for the Ricoh memory stick slot.

    I have most of the drivers for Windows 7 on an SD card, but Windows 10 won't accept the SFEP driver. Without that the graphics don't work properly apparently.

    Also, usually after a clean install on Sony's they need the SFEP, Shared Library and Setting Utility Series drivers adding.

    So - does anyone know where I can get the SFEP driver (or the others) that will work with Windows 10? Sony's drivers webpage for this model no longer seems to be there.

    I believe shared library and setting utility are needed to ensure function keys work and SFEP works with the NVidia drivers. Anyway although Windows 10 was working without them, the laptop got extremely overheated so I'm thinking the SFEP is necessary somehow. It doesn't overheat with Windows 7 on.

    I did find this link for SFEP driver for Sony Windows 10 but not sure if it's a good for any model of Sony laptop.

  3. Windows 10 Driver Updates for Sony VAIO Still Nowhere to Be Found


    For my case (Sony VAIO Tap 11)... it is there in the list of models.

    ... but it turns out i don't need that upgrade 'driver' anyway. The special 'upgrade' mode did nothing to my machine prior to the actual upgrade, and after completing the upgrade it merely installed one single update (to Sony Control Center I believe) that can be downloaded anyway from Sony's website. Working like a charm now running on Win10 (except for a few Intel display driver problems which are not specific to VAIO the way I understand it)

    I have a sony vaio and it says my vaio is off most stuff works but my list are all messed up it is sony vaio svl 24125 cxb

    Sony Vaio is the Brand Name of the laptop, not the operating system.

    "it says my vaio is off most stuff works but my list are all messed" doesn't make sense.

    How is your Vaio off?
