Have the Windows 8.1 driver issues been fixed??? 1-girl small business owner, can't afford to try to figure out drivers. Have new Toshiba Satellite.

I am using wiondows 8. Our company has instructed us not to upgrade to 8.1.

I am using it with Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with two external monitors. Once in a while, the monitors are not recognized when I plug in the USB cable. Unplugging and replugging brings them online without fail.

I recently connected it to my work laptop running 8.1, without the USB driver "fix" I had to do previously. It basically seems to work, although only with 2 of my 4 monitors. Maybe if you just need to hook up 2 monitors, you'll be fine...

It worked nicely with windows 8; I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it stopped working. I am an IT guy with many years of experience but I am not able to make it to work. Still waiting for AOC to do something about it, looks like a driver issue.

Sue; you will have to contact whomever is selling the unit..............I'm just another person who bought the unit off Amazon..... and by the way... I think Windows 8 is a POS...

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter, she has a laptop with Windows 8 on it. She said it loaded fine. I'm sorry this isn't any help to you.

Google the manufacturer and model name for drivers. And do the same for forums. That's what I did. You can find different driver packages but I believe as far as my last search went nearly a year ago, the maufacturer's latest drivers at that time were beginning to solve lingering user issues. Most reported good success though not necessarily the bandwidth specified, though still rewarding. Time has passed so a search should yield even newer drivers. I have not had a chance to actually install mine, but I look forward to it.. I think anyway.. by what I did read about driver developments.

Honestly I was disappointed to the point that I rarely use the laptop now. I use my desktop computer for everything I do on the web, and if I have time then will just uninstall Win8 and install Win7 instead. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware issue though, as it is already 3 months since I purchased mine.

Not good. The PC has about 4 drivers missing that are only valid for W8+. I tried it and tried to get drivers, but did not find anywhere. Yes, I hate W8.

All the drivers are up to date, and a driver cannot be forced either. I contacted Mad Catz who now state that I have the older version of this keyboard(bought from Amazon a year ago), and that there are problems with Windows 8 as I suspected. They stated they are working on it. In fairness to Windows 8, that I love by the way, this is the only problem not easily solved. Just beware when you buy this that you get the updated version. The reduced ones are probably being sold off because of this issue. I will meanwhile keep mine, just in case they update the driver, as it is a very good product when functioning. Many thanks for all of your responses. All the drivers are up to date, and a driver cannot be forced either.

Can't get it working on Windows 8.1, even with plugging in both USB cables (some ppl said it might be a power issue, but that doesn't appear to be the case).Like Paul P, I'm also in tech (about 14 years of software engineering) and can't get it working.

I finally hooked it up to my Windows 8.1 tablet. It was true plug-and-play with the Microsoft drivers. I was unable to install the Lenovo drivers on Windows 8.1, as opposed to Windows 7, but I don't need them.Jim

I have Vista and had no problem with it finding the correct driver. Might try searching for a driver that will work with 8.1. Or try contacting the company??

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

I've had no problems with Windows 8. You have to plug it into the usb port and install the drivers from the disk

Premsysl B., I'm having the same exact issues. It worked the first time I plugged it in but the system won't allow me to access and files on a blue-ray disk any longer. There seems to be no driver available for it to match Win 8. I used it several times in Win 7 and now that system won't recognize it either. I'm thinking the unit has a flaw of some kind. Too bad Rosewill, Samsung, or Panasonic (all attached to this make) won't post a fix.

yes I had a couple small issues, and just last week the hard drive crashed. I'm told that Toshiba hard drives are not the best. I gave the computer to my tech to research a better hard drive. Otherwise I like the computer overall.

Last I heard (couple years ago) there was no driver for Win 7. I would think someone would have come up with one by now, though. Google around for a driver before you buy.
