hardware settings according to the way you work
with the computer and the peripherals you use.
TOSHIBA PC
Diagnostic Tool
The TOSHIBA PC Diagnostic Tool will display
basic system configuration information and allow
the functionality of some of the computer's built-
in hardware devices to be tested.
TOSHIBA Hi-Speed
Start
Hi-Speed Start Mode can make the computer
start up faster than it would start up after a
system shutdown.
The efficient performance might not be expected with multiple user
accounts registered.
Only startup from built-in SSD supports Hi-Speed Start Mode.
When system needs to be restarted because of Windows update,
drivers update or applications installation, please Shut down or
Restart accordingly. If not, those changes will not be reflected to the
system properly with Hi-Speed Start Mode.
When setting password (e.g. user password, HDD password), please
enter it using keyboard.
When the system is booting in Hi-Speed Start Mode, there are some
limitations on the settings at BIOS Setup. If it is required to use BIOS
Setup, please do not use Hi-Speed Start Mode. Please execute BIOS
Setup after Windows shut down.
Before using Hi-Speed Start Mode, please finish all the running
programs.
