Ok so if anyone is interested. The title effect I wanted back was in pd14 and clicking on it showed me it was from travel pack 3. So I installed travel pack 3 from the cd into my main laptop so it's now in powedirector 21. My other gripe was that some of my titles made in pd14 weren't...

Just as an update - had a clear out recently and found my original power director 14 disc and the powerdirector 16 disc. Two discs - one for the software, one for all the packs - so I will have the original effects back. Just wondering if, once installed on a spare laptop I can copy those...

Too many settings .............. Far too many - and nested hidden menus. Aside from that it works. By ads I meant microsoft flashy things on the login screen and elsewhere (I know you can turn them off but they come back again and - more settings).

All the rubbish is because it's free. I'd almost rather go back to the days of having to buy a licence and having a simple operating system without all the ads and flashy stuff.

I think it was great when it first came out but the amount of regular change in 5 years has been a nightmare. I liked that the original version actually worked on my netbook.

Our teen just decided to use a wireless mouse - I wonder if that would work? It still needs a connector in a usb slot for the mouse to wirelessly connect. Hope I'm not asking the obvious here but have you tried a different mouse with the computer?

Did any of them try setting a supervisor/administrator bios password to see if advanced settings appeared? I assume so if it's saying key management isn't supported at all.

I don't know. Not sure what that means :-) So I just ran the HP hardware test in bios. It said audio passed. Turned on and sound is back again :unsure: The only thing I'm aware that changed this evening, was firefox updated. But system sounds weren't working either. I had already tried...

No sound today on laptop. Volume is on full. Ran the sound troubleshooter and got an AI thing that said did you hear that beep (no) then said it would update the audio driver - I'm sure it didn't change anything and it made no difference. Could it be hardware?

Are you going to try the setting a bios password thing? It would be great if that works and you can reset the secure boot keys.

According to AI (which is unreliable), Huawei laptops don't have any kind of method of unlocking advanced bios, other than setting a supervisor password to unlock various things. Shut down, boot into bios with F2 key, go to "Security" tab, select "Set Supervisor password" (or set Administrator...

Just out of interest, what does it say in Device Security under secure boot? ie what message is there?

I'd email again specifically asking them to let you know how to unlock the bios to advanced mode saying that question wasn't answered before and you need to know. Worth a try.

It’s very annoying and I hope they reply to you. I think some people just turn secure boot off - not ideal I know. I have a couple of old ones that don’t even have secure boot. I suppose they are not used regularly so not particularly at risk. Microsoft released something a couple of weeks...

I'll just add, most of what I suggested above was learned from @garlin when I did my secure boot on my computers :-) Eg checking device security app. Some was just finding out incidentally when it finally updated. Credit where credit is due!
