to be fair, it does not always happen.

so sometimes it does not wake up when pressing the power button.

it happened two or three times since installing 8.1 yesterday evening

I have graphics driver issues when returning from sleep.

first it seems not to be able to wake up, then when it does after a couple of tries,

there is a message saying the graphics driver crashed.

I installed w 8.1 and the graphics update from windows update

Thanks for your replies.

In the end it was just some unexpected behaviour from windows update.

Although the download counter did not start moving, it was downloading.

So after a long wait it suddenly jumped to 97% complete and started installing after that.

It might be that the number of updates (more than 60) caused windows update to malfunction.

also because of the number of updates it takes a long time to find them, and that is why it seemed it could not find any.

so the bottomline is: patience.

windows update not working on w510

I have a new w510 and i want to do the windows update.

I also choose to do updates for other icrosoft products.

however windows update does not work. it is either stuck on searching for updates,

or it does not want to start downloading.

As a attemmpt to solve this i restored to a clean factory state and tried again.

windows update is still not working.

how can i solve this problem? and how can a brand new software installation have problems with windows update?
