Yoga 3 pro Win 10 Upgrade Observation Thread

I noticed a couple of things with mine:
touchpad remains operational in tablet mode, additionally The touchpad disable button does not work(Fn + Delete)
Cortana says the microphone isn't designed for windows 10. I presume a driver update will fix this, since the microphones were designed for the Dragon assistant that came with 8.1.

Hi Cubo
I can recommend a few solutions (which others have tried) -
1) Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapter
2) Right click on the Wireless adapater and click Uninstall.
3) Restart the laptop and wait for the original drivers to install again.
4) Test the Wifi.
5) If it still doesnt work in Step 4, download the latest drivers for Win 10 64bit from Lenovo website and install those.
EDIT -
6) Instead of Step 5, I have seen a new driver for the WLAN (release on 7/17/2015). To install this, go to the Control Panel > Device manager > Network adapter. Select and right click the WLAN card and select Update driver.
If that doesnt work -
1) Shutdown your laptop for half an hour USING the hard shutdown button (on the right side).
2) Start and then test the wifi.
If that doesnt work then -
1) Setup a (hidden) OPEN network on your router.
2) Enter the hidden network SSID on your Yoga 3 Pro
3) Connect to it, see if that works.
Also, Did you have any VPN client installed prior to upgrade?
(like CISCO)

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Can't upgrade to Windows 10 - "Something happened" error

I've tried several times and I simply can't upgrade to Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The instalation process exists with the absurd "Something happened" error. I tried to set the Locale to en/us, and tried to install the ISO through a USB stick but no luck! Earlier I had setup my yoga 2 pro as a dual boot with both Windows 8.1 and Linux. Although I've never made any change to my OEM drives, since I went dual boot the one key recovery service also doesn't work. I still have all those OEM drives intact. When I go to the BIOS setup, I have two boot sectors, one is the original windows boot, and the other is the new linux boot; but I'm not sure it is related or not.

Hi SteveU,
Many things been tried (read the original post) - hybrid shutdown, intel drivers, uninstalling and installing again Lenovo Energy Managment driver (win 8.1 one), trying to use the Windows10 default driver for Energy management, shutting down with holding the shift (or alt button) can't remember now, many many things and clearly this is a Micorosft issue + Lenovo. Not enough testing down before hand, but everyone is happy at Lenovo as our money is at their bank... and have got expensive bit of kit that we shut-down holding down the button - because is just better than pressing shut-down...
This is the second time I'm let down by Lenovo - was thinking will give them another chance but as you can see moderators viewing or post but none of them has got a solution - isn't that right Amy@Lenovo or Majestic
Clearly Ms and Lenovo will blame each other now.
Fed up with this...
Windows 8.1 is the way to go, don't know why I was hoping that the latest MS updates will sort the issue out - wrong again
At least the Mail app works fine now

Yoga 3 pro win 10 update

I had a couple of issues after a win 10 STD upgrade from USB lash drive. Windows update wouldn't run at all. I needed to completely turn off Use Account Control and then rerun windows update. It would then start, but the update process failed. I ran the troubleshooting app in the control panel for windows update, which fixed the problem. I could then turn UAC back to where it was. I also have 2 problem devices in device manager, which I haven't fixed yet.
Serial IO 12C Host controller
Unknown device on ACPI-compliant embedded controller
After 24 hours, I have had a couple of times that the machine hung or crashed, and needed to be rebooted.

Yoga 2 Pro, Win 10 update, reverting back to 8.1

Hi, first time poster here. I went for the Windows 10 upgrade from my 8.1 Yoga 2 Pro laptop, things seemed mostly fine except for when using the laptop in any mode apart from standard laptop mode. Response from touch swipes were extrememely laggy. And as I bought and use this device in these various other modes I thought it was a rather limiting update. I advise caution on that front. I have reverted back to Windows 8.1 and have had some issues with Apps working, particularly the lenovo ones. I have tried the usual measures of uninstalling and restarting, but the app store won't let me re-download them. It says they are still installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bin mit etwas Suchen im Forum fündig geworden. Im Bios die Funktion Dptf deaktivieren. Dann klappt es. Ist aber nur eine Notlösung. Diese Funktion wird ja schon ihren Sinn haben....

Yoga 2 Pro (Win 8.1) wifi adapter go missing once a while

Dear Yoga 2 Pro fans,I'm sharing my fix here. I'm a device driver/firmware s/w developer so I know a few things My Y2P (bought in April 2014) works fine except that the Wifi adapter need to be disable/enable (via Ctrl Panel->Networks) to make it find my wifi router after power up, or after wake up from sleep. I've been living with this product defect but tolerable, and the wifi speed and stability is normal. I only use Y2P in laptop mode.I was using :* Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260, driver 11/17/2014 v17.13.2.2 (was update via 'Update Driver...' button in the Driver Properties), -- "Allow..device to save power"=checked, -- Advanced tab's U-APSD Support = Enabled* Intel Smart Connect (ISCT) is installed but turned off* Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools v17.14.0* BIOS was 76CN38WW Until 2 weeks ago, I updated the N7260 wifi adapter driver to12/16/2014 v17.13.12.1 (was update via 'Update Driver...' button in the Driver Properties), and hell broke loss... The wifi adapter will go missing randomly, i.e. midway when transfering files in the LAN, or after power up from shutdown, or after return from sleep. Subsequent shutdown and power on will not recover the missing N7260 wifi adaptor !! No overheating issue as I was using battery at 60% full.And more strange, I leave Y2P over night, or a couple of hours, and the N7260 wifi adaptor appear (be detected by Win8.1) the next morning....Bluetooth is always working and no problem. After spending one day, reading both Lenovo and Intel N7260 forums, I think I solved it but it wasn't easyas there are many combinations. Here's my final config* BIOS is 76CN43WW 5/5/2015, with Lenovo Fast Startup = Disable* Intel Smart Connect (ISCT) - uninstalled with Control Panel > Programs* Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools v17.14.0 - uninstalled with Control Panel > Programs* While N7260 wifi adaptor is in 'missing' state, via Dev Mgr > View > Show hidden devices -> Uninstall drivers & remove files, and reboot Y2P* Download from Lenovo Support Y2P and install 13kd018f.exe (while N7260 wifi adaptore is in 'missing' state), shutdown and wait for 1-2 hours.* Power up, and hopefully N7260 re-appears, check via Devi Mgr -> Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260, driver 5/26/2014, 17.0.3.3 -- "Allow..device to save power"= Unchecked, -- Advanced tab's U-APSD Support = Disable -- Power provide set Max Performance on Battery and Plugged-In I've used this for a day and is stable, will monitor more, and report back !

Ok, the above doesn't work, but at leas the Wifi adapter now consistently disappear the 2nd time when Y2P boots up after a shutdown or from sleep. I've brought it to Lenovo Service Center (Shenzhen), and found it's h/w issue, both the Wifi card has to be replaced as well as the 'sound card' that has connectors to hold the wifi card to the motherboard Checking fee: CNY 50Wifi card: CNY 380Sound card: CNY 280Cleaning fee: CNY 50 Gee.. my Y2P is just 2 months past the 1 year warranty

Yoga 2 Pro Win 8.1 WiDi/Miracast quirk

So since Windows update offered a new Intel graphics driver 10.18.10.3379 I've had an odd quirk in connecting to my adapter.
I will connect to my PTV3000 fine, use it and disconnect all fine. The quirk comes in after I shutdown my PC and restart it. The next time I turn on the PC when I attempt to connect to the adapter, Charms>Devices>Project I am not given a list of adapter but the list of display options: Disconnect, Duplicate, Extend, Second Screen Only ???????????????
Why after the PC has been off (overnight) and freshly started would it think it's connected to an adapter already?
I have to perform a Restart in order for it to reset properly and show me a list of devices to connect to. This is pretty annoying since I just turned the PC on int eh first place. I will note that upon shutdown, I have checked that the PTV3000 is fully disconnected and the Project menu is showing the device as eligible to connect to.
Specs
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
Intel Dual-Band Wireless AC 7260 - 16.6.2.1
Intel Graphics 4400 - 10.18.10.3379
Ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since the PTV is showing as a display on the Project menu that means the PC thinks it has successfully recoginized the device and thus a successful installation. Which it obviously does not.
Uninstall the widi software.
Go to Control Panel>Devies and Printers, delete the PTV device
Reinstall Wifi drivers
Reinstall Graphics drivers
Reboot (you probably will have to after reintalling those drivers anyway)
Then try to Add/connect to the PTV again.

Yoga 2 Pro - Win 8.1 x64 Pro - VeriFace doesn't work for Domain accounts

First - Lenovo's own tech support team seems completely unprepared for this product. There are no install packages online for anything but core drivers and the support teams really don't know much about the custom Lenovo software like VeriFace. Not bashing, just a disappointing reality. I'm hearing Lenovo does this all the time and that in a few months, stuff will appear. Great.
REAL issue: VeriFace won't work for Domain accounts. Pure and simple. I'm a geek, so I know the right account name shows up at the lock screen. When I type in the password, it says Incorrect. If I use a local account, bingo, works perfectly. I Googled some notes back in 2008/2009 where some people found a work-around by creating a local account with the same login name (obviously without the "domain\" part) to trick VeriFace. I tried it and it didn't work.
Can anyone else confirm this?
p.s. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling and you DON'T want to do that. See my first point. You can't re-install b/c the software ONLY exists in the hidden reset partition in OneKey Recovery. You have to completely reset your PC in order to get it back.

Confirmed. I even tried this trick, but this did not work for me

Yoga 2 Pro Went DEAD After BIOS Update

Had a horrible experience .. with good ending ... when upgrading Bios for my Yoga 2 Pro. So I'd like to share with others. I bought my Yoga 2 Pro last June (Man 3/22/14) and love it! But, it had problem restarting automatically after Windows Update. At least 3 times (That I can recall. Did not use it briefly from June 30 - July 22), the screen reminding user not to shutdown after Windows the update would stay on until I manually powered it down and restarted it. Last July 23, it did again after Windows Update. Searched Lenovo web-site and found a Bios Update for Yoga 2 Pro (Win 8.1 64-bit). Downloaded the new Bios (dated July 11, 2014) and went through the instruction striclty. First of, the screen responses were not at all as detailed in the instruction. So, the instruction is not very good. Received 2 warnings: Make sure the laptop is connected to the charger during the procedure, and the bios is for Yoga 2 Pro ONLY do not install it on any other models. As part fo the procedure, the laptop switched to a Bios Utility program. Again received the aforementioned warnings. Update progress was shown on the screen. All of a sudden, then screen went blank and the keyboard stayed lit. Waited for about 30 minutes. Still the same. Press and held the power button down (not sure for how long) ... nothing! Just no response from the latop. Called Tech support. She (the tech support lady) said that ... it is not recommended for user to go through the BIOS upgrade! What? Then why post it on Lenovo.com? She also said that I should not have downloaded software from the internet and upgrade, especially for BIOS. Well, I told her that I did not download the program from ANY web-site, I downloaded it from LENOVO.com. She said further that looks like the BIOS update had damaged my mother-board, there is a problem with Win 8 & 8.1, and because it was my own doing ... the damage would not be covered by the warranty! Considering the circumstance, Lenovo would waiver the initial $99 fee to assess the damage, but I would have to pay for any repair costs. In any case, I was so fumed at Lenove Tech Support responses that I hung up. close my laptop and put it aside. Almost 24 hours later, when the battery drained completely, I connected the laptop to the charger, press the power button to turn it on ... and ... to my surprise, the laptop booted and everything came back normal! The last (7/25) auto restart seemed to go well. Not sure if the auto restart problem is fixed with the new BIOS, but it seems to be. Time will tell.

Thank you for your posting. I searched the net when I ran into the problem, but could not find any help. Obviously, my search was not exhaustive. I was trying to make the following: a. Lenov should be more specific in their BIOS update instruction. Their instruction was ... far ... far from reality. b. Lenovo tech assistance was ... not much help. After listening to the description of my prolem, the tech lady immediately said that the operation must have damaged the mother-board, and that the operation is not ... recommended. No guidance on draining the battery a or how to restart the machine, etc... What I received was confusing that caused more panic! As a note, I had done BIOS upgrade on DELL PC/laptop before w/o any problem. I fully understand the implication of a BIOS upgrade, but trusted that manufacturer fully tested whatever that they post in their web-site. Oh well, live ... and learn! All in all, the Yoga 2 Pro is a great machine and I love it! Hope that anyone who runs into the same problem will be able to get the needed help in time! Cheers,

Yoga 2 Pro HDMI - no audio on tv

2. Digital Audio (HDMI) - High Definition Audio Device - Not Plugged In
ANY help to get the audio to play on the television would be greately appreciated!
More info available on request.
thx!

Hi Chris,
Is the Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter compatible to transmit audio? Can try with different HDMI cable or TV and see if that helps.
If its showing in "Sound" as not plugged in, then its possible that the adapter does not transmit audio.
Hope that helps.
*Non Lenovo employee*
I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Upgrading Win 8/10 to pro version fails on Yoga 3 pro

Hi. I tried to upgrade the win 8 install that the yoga came with to pro but after the install completed and rebooted, the message was the upgrade could not be completed please try again later. I let Win10 upgrade to win 10 home and tried to upgrade that to pro and hit the same issue. Also, as others have mentioned, i have wifi issues where it is picky on seeing only some access points. I was hoping win 10 would fix it but no such luck. Any help would be appreciated!

As for the wifi issue, you can try the new Windows 10 drivers by filtering for Windows 10:
http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-3-pro-1370-laptop-lenovo
As for the key upgrade, my upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro was smooth through the Add Features dialog. Is the Windows 8.1 Pro key accepted as an upgrade option in Windows 10 Home?

Yoga 2 pro slow in other modes in win 10

I have just upgraded to windows 10 and I have noticed that the Yoga 2 is really slow with the CPU throttled down to 770Mhz all the time when in any other mode(tent, tablet etc) than the usual laptop mode. Anyone with the same problem and how to solve it? Have read some similar threads after the upgrade to win 8 to win8.1 where the problem was the DPTF driver but do not know how to fix it now..

Have you tried updating DPTF driver from Lenovo's website ?
This was indeed well known issues with yoga series in windows 8.1. I have also just upgraded to windows 10. What I did was updating the driver. The last driver from Lenovo's site was version 7.1.0.21 03 dated 7/6/2015. I had no problem whatsoever. The CPU was never throttled to 770 Mhz in tablet mode, tent mode nor stand mode. I have checked all the modes. In fact, I see no performance issues on these modes. Although it might be too early to say as I just updated the driver earlier today. Another solution might be by completely disabling DPTF from BIOS setup. You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing the button next to power button while the laptop is off. Howeer, I see no advantage of it for now. My Yoga 2 Pro now is now actually runing cooler. For the record, I have also disabled DPTF when I was on Windows 8.1. But I noticed, the fan sometimes is making noise even when I am only surfing the web. Now that I am on Windows 10, I can say that enabling back the DPTF helps the fan to run without making much noise.
Wish you best of luck.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro: WiFi doesnt work after driver upgrade

After experiencing Wireless issues I tried to upgrade my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro 13" with Windows 8.1 64Bit to the latest drivers from the lenovo support site.
Ever since I cannot connect to the WLAN anymore. What puzzles me is that the driver status in the device manager shows a different driver version than what I have installed (uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it doesn't change anything here).
What puzzles me is the Lenovo Website shows driver version 16.6.0.8 (released 25.Jan.2014, see link below), whereas my system display version is 16.6.2.1 (dated 31.10.2013). Hence I thought I have another version from somewhere else on my and removed all driver versions I could find.
Checking driver details I get the follow file versions:
   C:\windows\system32\drivers\NETwbw02.sys    version 16.6.2.1 Intel, dated 2011
   C:\windows\system32\drivers\Netwfw02.dat       no version or publisher
   C:\windows\system32\drivers\vwifibus.sys          version 6.3.9600.16384 Microsoft
Still, whenever I deinstall the driver, install the files from lenovo and click "Detect new device" my system pulls the drivers as listed above and is incapable of connecting to any WiFi.
Windows 8.1. shows no connections available and doesn't connect anymore.
How can I get my WLAN back?
regards

Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Florian,
If Windows Update is configured to automatically fetch updates from Microsoft then the machine most likely have installed the Intel driver update for Intel(R) Wireless N-7260 as discussed in this article (which explains the different driver versions).
Things that you can try:
1. If the machine comes with the Intel(R) Wireless N-7260, navigate to:
- Device Manager
- Network Adapters
- Intel(R) Wireless N-7260 (right click > update driver software)
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer (you will then see a list of drivers, check if you have the version 16.6.0.8 from Lenovo and choose it and observe.
2. Restart the machine and boot into the BIOS (by pressing F2 on the Lenovo screen). Once you're in, navigate to the Configuration Tab and ensure Wireless is set to Enabled (if applicable).
- Link to picture
3. Perform a System Restore and choose a date before the issue began. (this will restore the unit to an earlier point in time where wireless connection is working fine)
4. Perform a Refresh / Reset or press the OneKey Recovery button (this will restore the unit to factory settings - ensure that you backup important files first).

Yoga 2 Pro Auto-Rotate Disabled (button is gray) on Win 10

Hi all, Upgraded my Yoga 2 Pro to Win 10 today, and the auto-rotate feature stopped working. The enable auto-rotate button on Win 10 is disabled, and in the display settings, the auto-rotate is switched on, but this doesn't make a difference. Don't know if the problem is with Lenovo or Microsoft, but would appreciate any help I can get...

Folks - any of you restored back to windows 8 to see if it still works? I did after my win 10 upgrade (with no rotation) and to my dismay, rotation no longer works in the factory image. I spoke to Lenovo and they are treating it like a hardware failure (apparently the factory reimage is the smoking gun for them). I'm starting to wonder if the Win 10 upgrade could have hosed the sensor!? FWIW - I have installed windows 10 about 5 times now on my Yoga 2 Pro, and in every case, the rotation lock function appears as a option (after the graphics drivers are updated by windows update) and pressing the button causes the on screen display to indicate that the autorotate is being toggled.

Yoga 2 Pro - Hyper-V not working right on Win 8.1 Pro

I wiped my Yoga 2 Pro and loaded Win 8.1 Pro, with all Lenovo drivers installed. I also enabled Hyper-V in the BIOS. However, I keep running into this issue as seen in the System event log:
"The speed of Hyper-V logical processor 2 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
I see one of these message for each of the four logical processors. Any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks.

I did try removig the Lenovo energy management software, but that didn't work. I also then reinstalled and tried setting it to Performance mode. However, I didn't look for a Windows power mgmt solution.
What's weird is that after I powered down and used the Novo button to check the BIOS version (just to confirm what I said earlier), when I restarted Windows again I did not see the Hyper-V error message. I haven't restarted again, but will check again tomorrow morning when Windows starts again.

Yoga 2 Pro Downgrade Win 8 to Win 7 ??

I'm done with Win 8.1. It's unstable with some of my primary apps (Thunderbird, etc..)
Is it possible to downgrade my Yoga 2 Pro from Win 8.1 to Win 7?
I don't see Win 7 drivers listed on the Lenovo download site.
Guess I'm outta luck?

Dear Drizzy
Welcome to Lenovo forums
Windows 7 has limited support now as it is not 100 % certain you will find all the drivers and also downgrading will lead to the loss of the recovery option in your machine.
if ypu installed windows 7 you will need a new liscence key and you will not be able to get to the factory settings using the recovery
Please let us know what problems you are facing with windows 8.1 and we will try to help you with them
you can read the info about windows 8.1 refresh from the below link if that might help
