>SOLVED< Driver problems Windows 11

[ObsoleteTech]

Hi!

Installed Windows 11 on my old notebook (Info below)

 

Made the installation media using Rufus, the installation went very well and it mostly works wery well and it's snappy (not fast) and seems as power efficient as 10 or better.

However, i have some trouble with drivers. The touchpad is working for moving the cursor but two-finger scrolling and tree-finger application swapping is not working anymore, as well as the adjustment of the screen brightness that is also broken.

 

It is a Fujitsu LifeBook S935 i bought used a couple of years ago.

 

I have tried to get Windows 10 drivers but the fujitsu drivers site seems to be down. It is also possible that they, making mostly enterprise stuff, haven't moved to W11 yet.

 

Some suggestions, i rather not replace the computer bcs it works and the cheap new ones seems so brittle, this one is a tank and that has been beneficial...

I managed to find a list of notebooks that do have windows 11 support but it was from 2021.https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/wp-Systems-ready-for-Windows-11.pdf

So Fujitsu do have support but possibly not across all of their products.

Have you tried SFC and DSIM to see if Windows can find and fix any broken system files etc.

it might help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-system-file-checker-in-windows-365e0031-36b1-6031-f804-8fd86e0ef4ca

Update!

Windows Update found lots of updates both from Intel, Fujitsu and Microsoft. 

After installing the display brightness control started working at least.

 

The "multi touch" on the touchpad though is still not working.

Problem solved.

The Windows 10 22H2 driver worked just fine and now it's ok!

FYI one thing I have run into with laptops, is they often need another install for their Function keys and special modes for the touch pads.  Try searching for software for the function keys with the model number, and you may get lucky.

Maybe because of it being an enterprise product i got all the drivers for function keys, battery management utilities et.c pushed from Fujitsu via Windows Update. Fujitsu even "side pushed" a BIOS update via a prompt in Windows at startup.

 

The only thing i hade to sideload was the touch pad drivers that, as prevuosly said, worked with Windows 10 22H2 drivers.

 

Everything works perfectly now, snappy, stable and good looking, almost as it was installed from the beginning, one could hardly beleive that the original OS on this machine was Windows 8.1...
