HP Recommended
Product: EliteBook 745 G4
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello Board,

 

I have a very frustrating issue:

 

My EliteBook is a few months old, and was running fine. I never bothered to install the drivers mentioned by the HP assitant untill yesterday. I installed all of them (7 if i remember correctly), inculding Radeon Graphics R5 driver, fingerprint scanner driver, sound system driver. 

 

This completely ruined my lapotp. It is extremely slow an inconsistent (sometimes taking 10 seconds for a google plage to load). Next to having a very short battery life (3-4hrs in battery save mode) and overheating sometimes, this is the final drop that makes working on this "business laptop" completely impractical.

 

I have tried to deinstall the R5 driver, this does help somewhat but still not as fast as before, Also the brightness settings dont work then.

 

I am desperate for a solution as I need my laptop everyday for work. If this does not work I am forced to buy another laptop dat does do what is promised, never to return to HP again.

 

Kind regards,

Dent91
