Common Problems & Fixes
No sound after installing Windows 8.1
Install the Conexant Audio Driver (v8.66.4.55) and restart. This model does not use a Realtek audio codec.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth missing
Install Qualcomm Atheros Wireless LAN, then Wireless Radio Control, then the Atheros Bluetooth package. A wired LAN connection helps for the first download.
Touchpad gestures not working
Install ASUS Smart Gesture v3.0.14. The generic Windows driver will not restore ASUS two-finger gestures.
Fn keys (volume, brightness, airplane mode) not working
Install the ATKACPI / ATK Package. This is required for ASUS function keys and on-screen display.
Low resolution or poor 3D performance
Install the AMD Beema chipset package first. X454WA typically uses integrated Radeon R2; some X454WE units add Radeon R5 M230.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this page for Windows 8.1 64-bit only?
Yes. The retained ASUS packages are for Windows 8.1 64-bit. Other editions need a different driver set from ASUS support.
Can I use the same files on both X454WA and X454WE?
In many cases yes — ASUS published a shared Windows 8.1 64-bit set. Still confirm the model sticker and Device Manager, especially for graphics.
Does this laptop officially support Windows 10?
These notebooks shipped with Windows 8.1. Windows 10 is not the original supported OS. Some 8.1 packages or Windows Update may work, but results vary.
Are the download links official?
Yes. They point to ASUS CDN paths on dlcdnet.asus.com. The original URLs from the source post are kept as requested.
What if a download link no longer works?
Open the official X454WA or X454WE Driver & Tools page, select Windows 8.1 64-bit, and download the same category again.
