For some drivers you will simply have to wait until Windows 8 drivers are released. This should happen until Windows 8 is RTMd. Aside from that you might want to run the installers in compatibility mode for Windows 7 (right click on the installer, go to properties and you'll find your way from there).
Did you do a clean installation or an upgrade from a prior OS install? Seems like your system is severly shot (reinstallation issue, etc.) A clean installation should not have those problems.
With Windows 8 RTM you will have to reinstall eventually as the upgrade path from the Preview Versions does not keep anything except for User Data.
I did fresh install
I installed the drivers
The problem was that win 8 has a new security system about the drivers.i disabled it in advanced startup
Hello XDA,
I have recently installed Windows 8 pro x64 and loving it so far But......
I have a Hp Pavillion with Amd Radeon Hd 6470M. Under 'Device Manager' it is indicated as 7400M with that little 'caution symbol'.
I have tried to update the drivers via the catalyst Program 'v12' for windows 8, but if I try to install it says "catalyst cannot download drivers because of incompatible software bla bla bla. I got another setup from hp.de and I managed to proceed with the installation. During installation the screen flickers a lot 'normal I presume' but after restarting I get a blank screen, lots of flickering and the fun going nuts. I managed to get the catalyst software running through 'run' and uninstalled the newly installed drivers, back to normal!!
Until now the 'caution' symbol is persistent.
Does any one know where to get 3rd party drivers or if you have a solution it will be highly appreciated!!

No third party drivers mate... I had the same problem... My advice is to dual boot your lappy.. I have a DV6 pavilion... Also do not install catalyst manager software... The only thing you can do right now is to update the driver using device manager...
i have a dv7 i tried everything except the obvious and it worked. I downloaded my drivers from hp's support site. Changed the compatability to windows 7 and installed as admin worked great all back to normal.
On my dv6 3006tx the default Windows 7 drivers work well - if you can force the installation of them.
Look for a swsetup folder on your C:\ root. There may be correct drivers within there.
If not, manually download the correct driver's from HP's site. Do NOT use an automatic driver detector. Run the installer, and everything will extract to C:\AMD or something. Then you must install the driver files directly through Device Manager. Right click, update driver software. Try both options. Also try the 'have disk' sub-option, and navigate to the .inf files you find in the directory.
Unfortunately, it's mostly trial and error. The drivers probably will work - but AMD just won't let you install them! If only there were a way to bypass every single OS version check they make...
Also try the generic Windows 8 GPU drivers from AMD's site. You probably won't get switchable graphics, though.

You're welcome.
im also have Hp Pavilion but Amd Radeon 6480G and this drivers works work me good

ps im have G6-1215SP and you?
put in a new SSD and got Windows 8.1, did a fresh install on a new hard-drive, everything's been working great, My nexus 4 has worked with with ADB./Fastboot and I've been able to transfer files to and from it in MTP mode. Been like that for about 4 days until about 3 hours ago, I had Windows Explorer crash, had to run Task Manager, end the process, and then manually restart explorer.exe My device was plugged in when this happened, and afterwards, I noticed that I could no longer see my Nexus 4 under the Devices & Drives section of "This Computer" (My Computer had a better ring to it lol) First I tried rebooting both my laptop and my Nexus 4, then I tried uninstalled the drivers, rebooting, re-installing, and then rebooting again. Did that like 4 times now, each time re-downloading the drivers, and doing an MD5 hash to create a Checksum, and checking them each time. Also to no avail. ADB shows my device serial number when i enter : ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized, so if I try anything like: ADB Reboot Bootloader, it says Device is not authorized.
So ! I don't understand wtf is going on. Was working fine before. The drivers are up to date, I just flashed the Official OTA image, and was on the leaked image prior to that. Then earlier this evening I switched to the newest version of the Nexus 5 Port, and everything was still working fine, hadn't made any changes in a couple hours before this happened. When I install the drivers, It acts like it worked. Instead of saying "NEXUS 4" under Other Devices in my Device Manager, it says Composite ADB Interface under Android Devices and MTP under Portable Devices. Sometimes tho the MTP entry will still show the Yellow Exclamation Point. But goes away. Don't know whats up with that either.
Also, it wont let me install drivers unless I am in MTP mode, which Usually you can install them regardless (tho I never tried in Camera mode, I am just assuming about that one) Usually I install drivers without MTP or Camera modes checked, but now if I try it, it says that Windows Cant find the Drivers, even tho I am obviously browsing for them myself and selecting them. And just now I tried updating instead of re-installing them, and it keeps saying that Windows has determined they are the most up to date.
So I am out of I ideas. I even updated windows media player cause that's what fixed my issue on Day 1 of running Windows 8.1 when it wouldn't recognize it at all. So I don't know. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to make sure I got everything in there so hopefully someone can narrow down what the issue is. Cause I've been at it for 3 hours, haven't slept yet, my Nexus 5 gets here today, and I need to get this fixed before I sell it to my buddy. Its brand new, only 15 days old.*
Any thoughts ?*
First, connect your Nexus 4 and use Device Manager to uninstall both MTP and ADB devices, make sure to check the box to delete the driver files as well. Then uninstall any other usb or adb drivers for other Android devices.
Then disable USB Debugging on the phone and get MTP to work first, Windows should be able to install it automatically.
For ADB, Windows 8 will not allow to install unsigned driver. To install unsigned driver, reboot Windows 8 into Advanced startup and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature (Google it if you don't know how). Although you could install Google USB driver which is signed I think, I recommend using Universal Naked Driver (link in sig.)
ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized

You need to authorize it from your phone, when you connect your phone to the PC with USB Debugging turned on, a toast message on the phone will ask you to authorize the device.

ok I am gonna try that now. And as far as the part about my phone being unauthorized. I already knew about the notification that pops up, i was waiting for it to happen. Never did tho. Maybe it will happen after I do the rest of what you said. thanks, i will post my results in a min
no matter what i do, i cant get MTP working. When i uninstall the ADB entry in Device Manager it gives me the check-box option for removing drivers as well, but not on MTP. And now it wont even give me the option to uninstall, update, or anything at all, even tho I uninstalled it already so it should at least give me the option to install drivers. Even tho it's showing up in Device Manager as a Portable device, if I look in Printers and Devices, it shows up as unspecified device. Disabled USB Debugging, and all that. it says its working but it wont show up in My Computer>Devices and Drives still. For some reason ever once in awhile it will pop up with the Yellow Exclamation Point tho, only for a brief second tho. other then that, its shows it like it's running correctly. Also, nothing pops up saying that windows is installing drivers when i plug it in. Which in Win 7, XP, etc, it always did. Does this not happen in Windows 8.1 ?
Also, under Driver Details, which is the only option it lets me click on MTP, it says the drivers are from 2006 lol
Update - Just reinstalled the drivers for ADB and enabled USB Debugging, and everything is still saying its working even tho its not. But when I take my phone out of MTP mode it shows up in device manager under "Other Devices" as Nexus4, with a Yellow Exclamation, and it gives me the option to update drivers, so i tried, but it says Windows Can't find my driver. This is very frustrating.
Had this problem aswell, which was caused by the N version of Windows 8 versions.
These versions dont have Windows Media Player istalled, which is needed for MTP to work.
So to fix your problem you need to download that latest Windows Media Player (WMP) from microsoft and install that.
I dont have the N version, I have WMP installed, i mentioend your fix in the OP. Had to update it, and it worked. It was working fine for the last few days, then it stopped working suddenly
double post, sorry. dont know why that happened.
Vouch. Since I use win8.1 (no n version) Mtp doesnt work. I tried all known drivers, disabled driver signature and so on. The only working combination for me is Usb Debugging + PTP. Then I use file manager to cut the files. Airdroid would be an alternative as well.
update - SOLVED * Kind of.....I say kind of cause I still don't know what caused it but apparently Flashing to the Nexus 5 Port fixed the issue lol. I am assuming something pertaining to the way USB connectivity is controlled by Android got corrupted, and a fresh install was in order. Whatever it was, it worked and i am back in business. thanks to all those who attempted to help.

Hello All,
I installed my fresh Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bits (build 9600), on my Acer V3-571G laptop.
Only I have a little problem.
When I go to device manager, and I want uninstall this driver.
--> Imaging devices
--> and Bluetooth,
When I Disable and Uninstall them, then, it's seems te drivers are gone!
But when I restarts mine Laptop, the Imaging devices and bluetooth, comes back?
Why is that? How I can complete remove that?
In the standard Windows 8 (not 8.1) that was possible? But 8.1?
Manny thanks..
Test 123..
Drivers will automatically re-install unless you have installed a different driver for that hardware... it's been that way since Vista. Deleting the driver files will slow the process down somewhat (require the computer to pull the driver off Windows Update), and you can disable that step (don't allow automatic searching online for drivers) if you want to...
Some reason why just disabling the driver wasn't good enough?
(to note: latest public win10 build, all avaliable updates installed, s10+ exynos on newest build)
Downloaded latest DEX version from samsung site but the installer does not run. This is what I have tried so far to resolve by myself:
removed phone from Your Phone windows app
deactivated link to phone on microsoft account.
removed link to windows pc on phone.
downloaded latest usb drivers from samsung site
uninstalled old driver, rebooted, installed new drivers
Downloaded latest DEX version from samsung site
attempted to launch dex installer - nothing happens and cant see a process for it in task manager.
uninstalled all versions of .net framework
rebooted
reinstalled .net frameworks
rebooted (again lmao)
attempted to launch dex installer - nothing happens and cant see a process for it in task manager.
have tried to launch installer after added as an exception to my AV, disabled AV and tried again, run as administrator, force run as administrator from properties menu, tried in compatability mode for older versions.
installed older version of dex for windows, it prompted me to update to latest version, i clicked yes downloaded install files, then appeared to try launch it but window disappeared instantly.
nothing i do lets me open the installer. please help!
Check Windows Event Viewer for error messages.

I did see this message when you replied, It was 2am hence the lack of immediate reply.
I did check the Event logs.... then got into a 3 hour fight with .net frameworks and Visual C++ redistributables
The ****ing PC won. Uninstalled and reinstalled .net and the vc++ stuff and tried some other random fixes I saw on various forums but nothing worked so I ended up just flattening my hard drive and starting from scratch.
I think I can trace it back to when I originally installed Windows last year and was using Powershell to disable various "features" and telemetry stuff. I've had ongoing issues with UWP apps and other random software since then and I think it's all related. None of it was a big deal though so I just ignored it.
Luckily it only took about 70 mins to install and configure the OS and all my important applications.
Really wanted to get Dex running and I am happy that it now works, loads better than the Your Phone application imo.
Apologies to anyone who finds this thread in the future hoping that I found an actual fix
