Drivers installation problems (Acer Aspire Switch 10E) - windows

My laptop model is SW3-16-15TV, I installed windows 10 home on it and I don't have sound, wi-fi, and other features... I found drivers for it here https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/6460?b=1 . I download only this driver https://i.stack.imgur.com/8JXTL.png because contains all other drivers. I tried to install other drivers one by one but I can't. Some of them throw errors and some of them installed but nothing happend. For example I installed audio driver, but after I reboot my pc I don't have sound and the same problem. I entered in BIOS and from there I found laptop serial number and searched that drivers... When I want to run Platform Drivers Installer it throw me this error:
a system reboot is required to rollback changes made
I didn't know why it throw me this error :(

I found the how to fix drivers! Device Manager -> uninstalled driver (with yellow or red attention sign). Click on Browse my computer for... -> Browse driver path, check that checkbox and click Next !

Bad image error on any exe files in Windows 10

I recently dual booted my Acer aspire E15 laptop with Ubuntu. The Ubuntu was working fine but when I opened the windows from grub menu, wireless networks like wifi wasn't detected and any exe files are not opening rather a bad image error is popping up which reads:
“Example.exe – Bad Image”
“C:\Windows\AppPatch\example.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f”
It comes up when I open any kind of exe files including even task manager.
I even deleted Ubuntu and included the partition created by Ubuntu into C drive. I guess I have made a huge mess of the PC by changing the settings. I tried regedit method as well but the value in AppInit_DLLs was null by default. I even tried resetting the pc but after 11% it is saying can't proceed,undoing the changes. Somebody please help, I have watched plethora of YouTube videos on this topic but to no avail. I did these changes in my bios https://askubuntu.com/questions/771455/dual-boot-ubuntu-with-windows-on-acer-aspire as well given by Umar having 5 upvotes during dual booting. How can I undo everything just like my new computer with windows 10 or fix this problem.
Try contacting Microsoft Remote Assistance Support, they will format your PC via remote assistance. It worked for me.

no keyboard or mouse usable in win7 installation/settings screen with only usb3

Keyboard and mouse works in bios, but when in win7 installation screen, they are failed?
After google, mostly the problem is win7 is lack of the USB 3.0 drivers, and they just tell us to use USB2.0 port, or even use PS/2 port.
Then how can we deal with only with USB3.0 or their suggestions is not suitable for us?
update 2
stuck in firstly settiing windows?
[self mark]
If you meet above problem, this link may help you and save time.
I have try to use USB2.0, but most of BIOS settings is not found in my computer. After lots of retry, I found this video that tell us how create a Windows 7* installation image to include USB 3.0 drivers.
this tools required:
Win7 ISO
windows-usb-dvd-download-tool to install ISO into your USB
Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility to install USB 3.0 drivers
If link is failed, try to search tools'name.
update 2
After above actions, my compute is stuck in setting compute(set name).
==> I solves it by set BIOS-USB_SETUP's USB Virtual KBC Support Enabled, the refer link is miss.
Finally Done...

PICkit 3 not recognised by Computer

I got a completely new PICkit 3, MPLAB X on a MacBook Pro and the PIC16F1827. I set up a new project with the xc8 compiler and, to my knowledge set up everything correctly. Then I connected my PICkit and thought that it would start downloading and flashing a new firmware.
Instead it just flashed the STATUS LED red and nothing happened. I have power on the PICkit and the connection is active.
This is what I get, when trying to start a debugging session:
I tried reinstalling MPLAB X and to switch the USB Cable, in case it was faulty. Any suggestions?
The fault was actually Apples System Integrity Protection, which prevented the installer from changing vital permissions of one installation folder. By now this has probably already been resolved in the new versions.
But in case anyone still needs it:
Reboot your mac into recovery mode.
Open the terminal.
Type csrutil disable #this disables the SIP on your machine
Reboot and install MPLAB X
Reboot into recovery again and reenable SIP (with csrutil enable)
Usually, when a tool is detected, the serial number appears below its name. I believe your PICkit3 is not being detected. Do you have it connected directly to the USB port on you computer? Sometimes they don't get recognized when connecting through USB hubs.

Arduino "unknown device" error on Windows 7 x64

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, I'm new to arduino and I searched for my question here on ST and found similar but outdated queries that didn't help me so I might as well help others who might be having the same problem.
The very first time I connected arduino to my W7 laptop, it worked like a charm, installed new device drivers successfully, uploaded my sketch (which still continues to run every time its powered). I checked device manager and it showed the arduino under COM/LPT ports.
Then, after disconnecting the arduino and reconnecting, it no longer shows a COM/LPT section and instead shows an unknown device under USB. Every time I've tried uninstalling driver and reconnecting, it keeps giving me a driver installation failed error.
Googling for the issue told me to "update drivers" manually using the .inf provided with the Arduino installation through device manager, but when I tried that, it says the drivers aren't compatible with Windows x64.
Another tip from an arduino forum user told me to copy the arduino.inf into C:/Windows/inf, but that didn't solve the problem either
Any ideas?

Windows Phone SDK Paradox: "Xde couldn't find an IPv4 address.." and "The emulator couldn't determine the host's IP address..."

A few useful pieces of information: I'm running Windows 8 Professional on a custom-built rig, and I am using a 'WiFi dongle' to connect my computer to the local router. I am using a home network, not a public/work/school network.
I installed the Windows Phone SDK. Piece of strawberry cheesecake so far. Coded my first simple browser app (as detailed on the Windows Phone Dev site) and hit the Run button, expecting my app to come to life and breathe in links and breathe out websites!
But instead, I got this:
Something happened while creating a switch:
Xde couldn't find an IPv4 address for the host machine.
In this case, the emulator wouldn't run at all. And so, I did my research and found out that the solution was this:
Remove all the switches from Hyper-V Manager's "Virtual Switch Manager", and make a new Internal one called Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch.
I did, and the error did NOT show up again but it did screw up my WiFi and Bluetooth adapters (which I had to do a system restore to solve) and now both WiFi and Bluetooth peripherals are working again.
However, I got this error instead when running the emulator again:
The Windows Phone Emulator wasn't able to connect to the Windows
Phone operating system:
The emulator couldn't determine the host IP address, which is used to
communicate with the guest virtual machine.
Some functionality may be disabled.
In this case, the emulator did run, but I couldn't find my app anywhere. I did some research again and found that the solution to this was:
Delete the Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from Hyper-V Manager's Virtual Switch Manager.
Now, I created the switch to solve the problem in the first place. But I did delete it, for the heck of trying everything out. And no surprise there but, it went back to the first error.
I am now stuck in this paradox and have no idea how to escape it.
Thank you in advance!
follow the following steps to solve this problem
1.go to network and sharing center
2.go to change adapter setting
3.go to v Ethernet (internal Ethernet port windows phone emulator internal switch)
4.right click it and enable it(if already enabled then disable and enable it again).
Remove any Cisco VPN's or similar connections. I have found this VPN client works as a replacement to Cisco https://www.shrew.net/
For me shrew soft version 2.1.7 was the only version that worked.
