No LAN access
This is the first time I’ve tried connecting an Ethernet cable to my Quantum Access LAN windows 10, and to my surprise it wouldn’t connect. I checked the device manager and the only device showing under network devices was wifi. I downloaded an installed the Axis 3.18 Drivers, rebooted and still nothing. Is the stick defective or am I missing something?

Thank you Luis I will try the reinstall. No haven’t touched the Bios or disable the port. The 3.0 ports are working fine. Will let you know how I do.

My Azulle Access Plus setup experience/review with emphasis on HTPC usage
I wanted something cheap and small for a HTPC application. This is borderline too slow for this application, at least when it comes to iTunes movie streaming. I am working on moving my library to network storage to download all of my iTunes movies to see if it will stop stuttering the video.
I would probably rate this as 5/5 because it’s still a good small PC if it were not for the almost endless reboot from a BSOD related to the USB3 controller. I’ve seen others have this issue so I will share what seemed to fix it with me. I had to hit F8 booting up to get it to the troubleshooting menu for Windows 10, then I had to reboot into Safe Mode. After that, I brought up the Device Manager and went to the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller and uninstalled it. Trying this in regular mode kept bringing up the blue screen. I rebooted it and logged back in and it finally stopped rebooting. I think that it must have reloaded the driver upon booting and stopped it from erroring out. I used to be a computer technician before moving into Systems Engineering thankfully, or I probably would have given up.
Make sure you run the updates for Windows first thing, it takes forever. Then run Disk Cleanup, making sure you click the Systems Settings (I think that’s the name) so that you can remove previous versions of Windows which will clear like 15-19GB after the update.
Also, for home theater use, resist the urge to move the audio to the highest sampling rate and bit rate. When I did that, I only got 2 channel audio going to my AV Receiver. I could go to the audio settings and add the surround channels, but I could only do L C R RS. I had to move it down to DVD quality 16 bit and then I could do L C R Sub RS LS.
Getting iTunes to use the surround channels was also difficult until I found advice after an hour of Googling. You have to launch a movie and click the little balloon icon in the lower right corner of iTunes that is the Audio settings. You have to put a checkmark next to the one that says something about Bypass for AC3, then it sends Dolby Digital to the AVR. Other than the stuttering of video, my only other complaint is I can’t make the icon on the start menu super large like the others. RIght now I have it in Tablet mode so that it brings up just the start menu icons that I am using for streaming.
VUDU seems to stream pretty good using the Windows 10 app. I was going to try to use Kodi as a hub for all of my streaming apps, but something it does prevents VUDU from playing movies; it kept giving the HDCP error until I removed Kodi.
The Disney and DisneyXD apps work better than on my Apple TV, it seems to output surround sound which my Apple TV app does not. My Dish Network channel isn’t in HD, so I used to use the Apple TV to watch Star Wars Rebels in HD, so now I get surround sound too; small win!
Native Windows 10 movies stream extremely well. HD, 5.1 surround (my Yamaha AVR is only 5.1), and no lag. I assume all movies work fine, but I only have Disney Movies Anywhere movies in my Windows collection since I linked DMA to my Microsoft account. But running movies from the Movies and TV app is really great for video and audio.
Dish Anywhere app is very laggy, especially Audio, which I noticed on all apps, until buffering catches up, sound like Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi when she is talking through the voice modulator in the bounty hunter costume.
I wish YouTube had an app like on iOS that I could just launch and play videos rather than using Microsoft Edge to go to a website. I may have to make a shortcut to YouTube and pin it to the start menu.
I still need to think about getting the small remote/keyboard that they offer, I currently use the Logitech K400 keyboard/trackpad, and I do love it, but once i’m done setting it up completely for streaming, I want something a bit smaller to control it all.
I have no idea how streaming works over wifi, I chose to just plug in the Ethernet to the switch in my entertainment center, no sense in competing with all of my wireless devices.
I haven’t decided if I am just going to leave it on all the time or turn it on when I need to use it. I just don’t know if I trust a fanless computer running 24/7.
If you boot it up on a tv and the start button and clock run off the side of the screen, go into your tv settings and look for an aspect ratio setting. On my LG, the proper aspect ratio setting was “Just Scan”. Previously it was set to something like “Set By Program”, but that had my start button going off of the screen. I have read that other TVs have similar settings, but are called something different.

Can this BIOS update also be used to install the 64bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise? I need the 64bit version to be able to get this the Azulle Quantum Access managed by our IT department and hooked up to our corporate network.

No Desktop Icons & Java Internet Files Gone after Reboot
Hello,
I use the Azulle Quamtum Byte PC’s at many different contract locations to run specific applications necessary for our business operations. Two of these locations that use these PCs have encountered a problem where whenever the computer is rebooted, all of the desktop icons have disappeared, and the Java internet files are completely gone or have been erased. The application that our business uses runs on Java, and after every reboot, the necessary Java files used to run the program are gone. This means we have to reinstall the Java application every time the computer in turned off and turned back on again. I’m not sure if this is a Java issue, but it has only happened on the Quantum Byte PC’s, not any other brand PC’s we have. The desktop background was also reset to the default windows 10 picture. It seems like there’s some sort of factory reset happening but it keeps some programs installed.
Has there been any other cases of this happening to anyone else? Any information would be great. Thank you.

Looks like they have the MS Update service turned off. If turn it on it will see updates. I have just started to see if the updates will install. Not sure why they have it turned off expect for a reason which wouldn’t be good.

My Experience with the Azulle Byte 3
This is my experience with the Azulle Byte 3. I preordered the unit on-line. The staff were very helpful with my questions. I intend to use Byte 3 as a TV box replacement for my Adroid TV box.
I received the Byte 3 in the mail. It was well packaged with no damages. For a monitor I used a low end 24″ LG LED TV and for the keyboard a Microsoft wireless keyboard with touchpad. Prior to boot the unit for the first time, I installed a M.2 memory stick. It would not boot up. I failed to check the M.2 for the type; it was an ePCI. It needed a SATA version. So, after a little running around I got a WD 232 GB M.2 SATA stick. I booted the system and went through the Windows 10 set up with ease. I had the unit connected to the router with an Ethernet cable for the updates and I then reverted the unit to wifi for general use.
I changed the Byte 3 settings so docs, videos, etc, would be defaulted to the M.2. When the option appears, I save the program setups to the M.2 as well. I loaded Kodi with a few addons. The videos played just as good as the Android TV box. There was no studdering. The sound on the LG TV sounded normal. I also download the Netflix app. It played videos just as good or a little better than the Kodi program.
I am still playing with the Byte 3. Once I move it to the big TV, I’ll try the Rii mini i24T mini Wireless Kyboard Mouse Combo on it. If anything earth shattering comes up, I’ll post it here.

Reply To: BytePlus and Mint Linux
Ok,
I am trudging along by myself on this one, apparently.
Problem one solved: Drives not showing up through PLEX server.
Directions on this site appears to have resolved the issue:
Problem two solved: Linux seizing up byte plus.
After re-installing Linux Mint 18.2, I opted to update the kernel.
I had not done that in the past.
This seems to have resolved the freezing issue.
Problem three: No sound through HDMI.
I am banging my head against the wall trying to gt his to work.
I have the sound source to Digital USB Stereo.
No dice on this.
Finally, I have NO access to the card slot.
My Samsung 128 GB is unreadable and the slot is unrecognized.
Any help is appreciated.
