Hey thanks for the reply. I haven't had a chance to check out your suggestions yet. Been busy with job interviews and trying to find a job. For the time being I just did another system restore to before the update and everything's running fine. I checked HP's website and they haven't tested...

I also failed to note that I checked HP's support website for drivers on my PC and the only graphics driver they have is Version8.982.7.0 Rev. A from 10/23/2012 for Windows 8 which is the current driver that I have. This is not the version that is showing in the HP Support Assistant. HP's...

Programs crashing after updating AMD UMA Graphics driver I don't know if I should post this in this forum or in performance and maintenance. I have an HP Pavilion P6-2120 with an AMD A6-3620 APU and an AMD Radeon HD 6530D GPU. My PC originally came with Windows 7, upgraded to Windows 8 pro...

If the watermark also says SecureBoot isn't configured correctly build 9600, you will need to enable secure boot in your bios using the tutorial from Brink. If you don't wanna mess with your bios or am unable to enable secure boot click on this link below. Update removes the "Windows 8.1...

Yeah it also helped me out too. Also give give thanks to jimbo45. I didn't know that he also posted this solution before I did.

Hey I know it's been a couple weeks since anyone has replied to this thread. Microsoft has worked out a fix for this. Go to Update removes the "Windows 8.1 SecureBoot isn't configured correctly" watermark in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 , there will be a download option for x86 and x64...

Yeah I tried to reenter my product key but it did not work. Thanks for the suggestion. I will be calling a Microsoft support rep tomorrow. I hope they're working on a fix for this.

One more thing, will I be able to get a step by step upgrade path if my PC is no longer in warranty?

I will try that and see what happens. Thanks guys for all your suggestions.

I was a bit perplexed about their suggestion myself. I don't wannna spend all day resetting and reinstalling with no result. The HP tutorial said for a computer preinstalled with windows 8 to go into the setup utility and then go to secure boot configuration but my PC came with win 7...

I contacted HP and they said there is no firmware or bios update for my PC. They said that since my PC originally came with windows 7 there is no need for secure boot. They said to do a factory restore back to windows 7, then upgrade to 8 and then 8.1 which I really don't wanna do but it looks...

I am in the process of contacting HP on this issue. I was not able to find a bios update through their website.

Im having the same issue. I am unable to enable secure boot because my computer came with windows 7. Also is anyone having issues with metro apps running in the background after closing? I have modenmix and I'm wondering if that could be the culprit. I have enabled boot to desktop and it seems...

pparks1, I totally agree with you. That happens to me all the time. Its either that or I'm stuck behind someone who wants to take their sweet old time or have no clue what they're doing and need help every 2 seconds.

I am trying to get rid of the watermark by enabling secure boot on my hp pavilion p6-2120 using the hp support link in the tutorial from brink. My computer originally came with windows 7. In the support link it shows a secure boot configuration option in the security menu in the setup utility...
