#LIFEHACKER GLARY UTILITIES HOW TO#

Glary Utilities is mainly a cleaning tool: temp files, registry, adware, tracks (cookies and history). Really doinked at this point, but having backed up the drivers with Glary Utilities, I was able to use the backup to install the missing drivers, and install the correct I2C drivers for the screen hardware to turn the machine back into a tablet with touch functionality. This is a Winbook TW-800 and the support site at Microcenter doesn't have driver downloads, or any links to manufacturer's support of the chips in the tablets. Not with the second clean install of Win10. When upgrading the first time, going from Win8.1 to W1010, Win10 kept the drivers from the Win8.1 install, so everything worked. The clean Win10 install had installed drivers for I2C devices that weren't right, and there where about ten other devices that didn't have drivers and couldn't be found using Windows Update.

No Bluetooth, touch screen, screen rotation, sound.

That part of the install was great, but in getting into the tablet after the install, I found a lot of the hardware wasn't working.

Just a password issue as I found out the hardware isn't there to support Bitlocker.ДЄfter downloading and creating a USB install disk, and figuring out how to get into the tablet's BIOS to change the boot order, I did a clean install of Win10, skipping entering the license key, as has been stated as not needed now in Win10 once a machine has been activated. I was hoping to setup Bitlocker on the tablet, so removed the Windows login and on rebooting, found myself locked out with no way in. My need for then doing a clean install was in not knowing the password I used for a local account I set up on the machine. I had upgraded from Win8.1 and that Win10 install was working with all the hardware in the tablet. It has now officially saved me after doing a clean install of Win10 on a cheap Windows tablet. It normally defaults to just choosing the drivers that aren't available via Windows Update, but it probably is best to capture all the working drivers in an install.

Glary Utilities has a driver backup feature that will backup all the in use drivers on your machine.
