Wireless button

[User_E123]

I am in need for the Wireless button drivers for Windows 7. It seems they are not available for this type of laptop (HP Probook 650 G2).

I have installed all other drivers. Wifi, bluetooth, HP hotkeys,chipset,...

The button on the laptop does seem to turn off the bluetooth connection but not the wifi. It also will not change color. (It stays white).

I have tried downloading the driver for Windows 10 and 8.1 but this gives me the same message. "Software is not intended for this operating system". Running the setup in compatibility mode does not work.

If i'm missing something please point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I think this laptop comes with Windows 8 or 10 by default so you won't get Windows 7 drivers for this laptop and the newer ones won't work correctly (only bluetooth, etc) or at all. I have got the 14" version (PB 640 G2) and Intel 7260AC works great on Sabayon linux. No Windows on this machine but I bet that the proprietary Windows 7 Intel drivers will definitely work on your laptop. Ethernet or Wifi should use only proprietary drivers as these are the latest ones directly from the manufacturer.

HP does list Windows 7 as a valid operating system for this laptop. They provide all drivers except that one.

Yes,

It lists the Wireless drivers. But i don't need those.

I need the "Wireless button" drivers.

HP Wireless Button Driver (American, International)   1.1.15.1 Rev.A
7 Jan 2016 3.2

1.1.14.1 Rev.A
16 Nov 2015

This is copied from the Windows 10 x64 list. Under "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices (4)"

Without this button i cannot turn off the wireless with the button on the laptop...

And i have tested this driver and the one listed under Windows 8 x64. It will not install and gives the error message "invalid operating system".

I'm lost here. It's the first time I hear that you need a special driver for the manual button to be working. I don't need any special driver on linux and if Windows need it then you should consider switching the OS because it doesn't work properly.

I also have the problem where the wireless button stays white.   Did HP decide NOT to create a Win 7 driver or software?  The 650 G1 works just fine and I didn't have to do anything special...

I checked the BIOS AGAIN and found that the Lock Wireless Button was CHECKED!  I unchecked the box and I'm able to use the wireless button now!

The touchpad on this G2 must be extremely sensitive!  Even typing on this G2 the cursor is jumping all over...I will adjust the sensitivity, but when we image these laptops, we configure the BIOS first and it is too sensitive!

Hello,

Solution to your problem is to install HP Hotkey Support and problem solved. Just like that.

Have a good day.

Once again, solution to your problem is to install HP Hotkey Support and problem solved. Just like that.

Have a nice day.
