During the beta my pc had the same issue. Quite a few others did too when I
was looking through the feedback page. It seemed to fix iteself on release.

Sorry, thats not much help, but I thought I'd share it just incase you are
running a beta, which you probably aren't since its a new laptop.

Maybe toshiba has an update for the problem? Ring them maybe?

I hope that helps :-)
