Resolution

After doing a clean install of Windows 10 the AR100 Geolocation Sensor shows up as a banged out device in Device Manager. (You need to plug in the AR100 then install the GPS driver then you will see the banged out device in Device Manager). The banged out device occurs because the vcruntime.dll and mfc140u.dll files are missing.

To fix, is to do one of the follwoing and then reboot the machine:

  • Install the Toshiba Intel AMT component (TCH0427100A) by searching your model number in support.toshiba.com and selecting the Drivers and Updates tab, then Download and install the Intel AMT/ME-FW Update Tool
  • Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685
  • Manually copy the vcruntime.dll and mfc140u.dll files to C:\Windows\System32
