Lenovo Solution Center shows disabled devices

I have just upgraded to the latest version of Lenovo Solution Center in order to resolve the problem of Unknown Warranty, but now it is showing many printers as disabled devices - but Device Manager is not listing these printers. I do not know where these printer have come from - I do not have any of them.

I am having a similiar/related issue. Solution Center indicates a Device is having a problem, that it is an Unknown Device and is Not Installed.
I cannot identify any devices in Device Manager that are having issues.
I have a 13" Yoga and am running the latest version of Solution Center (2.0.019).
Any suggestions?

Lenovo solution center shows warranty expires today while it gets okay after refreshing.

Lenovo solution center shows warranty expires today while it gets okay after refreshing. I need to refresh this every time i reboot my machine i.e. T430.

LSC has not been working for a long time. Each release seems to have bugs in it as far a warranty access is concerned. After the last update I ran which still could not access the server. I seems to have uninstalled itself. The startup is gone everywhere on my systems. I haven't checked Control Panel for it since it still is a garbage tool now. ThinkVantage thread in the community still has posters indicating the problem is continuing. Each time you launch it if there is an update it wants to install it. LOL But that software is of little use anyway. The diagnostics is poor as well.

Lenovo Solution Center Showing Wrong Warranty

I bought my Lenovo G500 laptop in December 2013. It has 1 year warranty. Today I installed Lenovo Solution Center and saw that it shows wrong warranty.
According to Lenovo Solution Center, the warranty is set to expire on September 22, 2014. But its wrong since I bought the laptop just around Christmas in 2013.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Mayank,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
There was an initial bug in LSC where extended warranty was not accurately shown and this was addressed in version 1.1.006. Several changes to the functionality of warranty lookup have been implemented in different versions of LSC to address other considerations.
In some cases, the Lenovo Solution Center is displaying a message, “Unable to determine warranty”, for the System and displaying a message, “not available”, for the Battery.
This could occur on any Lenovo system running Windows 7 or 8 and running LSC.
These will be solved in version 2.0.018 or higher of LSC.
Warranty status can be checked on the Lenovo support site at any time:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_IN/product-service/warranty-status/default.page?
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Lenovo settings dependency package & Lenovo Solution Center

The Lenovo Solution Center showed error message about Battery on System tab,and suggested to install the Lenovo settings dependency package.But there is no Lenovo settings dependency package in the download page for T61p but yes for other models.In the attached Readme.txt, T61p is not supported model.What should I do?What do you think? Thank you for your attention.

Yes, I use Windows 8.1.I'll try to install that package as you recommend,and report weather any problem occurs or not.Thank you, ColonelONeill.

Windows 8 - Lenovo Solution Center claiming problem wih disabled printer (but it's not disabled)

I have an HP printer for which I needed to replace the stock Windows 8 printer driver with HP's full featured driver. Since I did that, Lenovo Solution Center [LSC] complains (under Check-up> Device Manager) that "one or more devices have problems" and it lists my Officejet 4500 G510n-z as "disabled". When I go to device manager to check the status of my printers, I see a print queue category of devices, and all of them, including the two associated with the printer, are enabled and "working properly".
Under what circumstances does Solution Center determine that a device is disabled? How do I convince Solution center it is making the wrong assessment ;-)....or perhaps there is something wrong but looking at Device Manager doesn't tell me so??? Is there another place I should check?
I finally solved the wan miniport problem (thanks to other posters), so now I have 1 problem left to fight to be able to rid myself of unwarranted exclamation marks from LSC.

I have same problem after completely installing the HP full solution driver and application support for the printer. It's the "Multifunction Adapter" category in Device Manager that causes LSC to show the error. I already have a Z: Sendto device that corresponds to the SD Card for the printer, but have nothing inserted. If I attempt to Update Driver for the multi-function adapter, it's not finding driver on Internet (Windows Update) and not finding a signed driver for Windows 8 under Update Driver, Printer driver support if you choose the locate on c: drive and point to the correct HP printer. Interesting also, I have three "discovered" HP printers, all showing "Disabled" Multi-Function adapters under Device Manager by LSC.

Unknown device in Lenovo Solution Center Helix

It's not causing any problems, but it's killing me to know there is an unknown device that I can figure out what it is!!! Talk about Fly in the Ointment.
Why is it there? Why doesn't windows not know what it is? What's it's motivation?
No external devices plugged in, wireless printer driver installed and working correctly.
This is one for Sherlock, or THE LENOVO COMMUNITY
I looked in device manager, nothing is popping out saying "Hey I'm unknown"
Lenovo Solution Center sees it but doesn't have a fix for it, and it gives me that smug number 1 with a red circle around it under check up (the nerve!). Taunting me that something is not right and there's nothing I can do about it.
Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, your my only hope!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lenovo Solution Center currently has a bug that happens on systems with touchscreens, it shows an unknown device like you say, even though there isn't anything wrong.
There is supposedly an update to LSC coming this week or next, it should fix this bug.
And there is something you can do about it, click on the "remind me" option and then select "never", then LSC won't bug you about this non-issue anymore. Sorry for this inconvenience caused by LSC.

'Unknown device' in Lenovo Solution Center, but not in Device Manager

Even with all the latest updates installed, I still get this annoying warning from Lenovo Solution Center
'Unknown device' - status 'not installed'
Control Panel / Device Manager gives no signals something is wrong.
why?!
Details:
Computer: Thinkpad Yoga (TPY)
OS: Windows 8.1 all updated
Lenovo Solution Center version: 2.2002 / revision 17630
External device attached to TPY: OneLink Pro (also has latest driver = Realtek 8.10.1009.2013)
Thanks in advance

It seems to me you are missing some update from Lenovo. I had the same issue, however just recently after updating any available software/drivers for the TPY the message has disappeared.
Glad to hear the problem is solvable. Regarding missing updates, I honestly would not know which one.
Lenovo's own update programs ('L-Update and Drivers' & 'L-System Health and Diagnostics') inform me that all drivers are up to date.

StorLib error message in the Lenovo Solution Center

I keep getting an error message under the device manager tab in the Lenovo Solution Center.
It says under drivers - 'StorLib bus (virtualstorage support)', status is 'Uninstalled'.
I can't find anything anywhere about this or how to correct the issue.
Any help out there?
Moderator Note; subject edited.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The device manager pops up the screen with all the 'devices' . When I expand 'other devices', the storlib bus shows up with a yellow triangle and ! mark. Double clicking brings up a window, with status;
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
When I try to update it, no driver can be found.
One option os to uninstall it. Guess that would get rid ot the error if it is something not being used.

Hardware Scan Failure using Lenovo Solution Center G580

I have a G580 Laptop, it's lessa than a year old now.
I use both Hard Disk Sentinel (HDS) and Lenovo Solution Center (LSC).
HDS showed an alert that one weak sector has been found.
LSC gave this result code after the hardware scan WHD01V00I-HJ9C1E, it failed the "Targeted read test" and "SMART short self-test". How can I fix these problems and what do they mean?
Thank you.

hi Casanova8,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Smart Tests are critical for the HDD Performance and functionality.
I would suggest running another test using HDTune
Let me know your findings
Cheers!

Lenovo Solution Center - Sugar Sync- uninstall

Since uninstalling Sugar Sync, Lenovo Solutions Centre reports under Device Manager that there is a problem with the driver StorLib Bus. When I check in Device Manager, Storage Controllers, Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller, the device is working correctly. What needs to be done to LSC to make it not report a problem that probably isn't there.
Any help, Thank you. Petedf.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform that it is a false indication from Lenovo solution center. Since Windows doesn’t detect any missing device drivers within the device manager, there is no driver that is missing.
If the warning keeps popping up, change the reminder settings to “never”. Probably, you have to wait for an LSC update in which the bug would be fixed.
Refer here for further information regarding the issue.
Hope it helped!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Cannot Upgrade Lenovo Solution Center

When I try to upgrade to the latest version of Lenovo Solution Center on my Edge E520, the installation of Adobe AIR 64 fails. I tried rebooting and the same thing happens, and I am trying running as administrator and not as administrator. So I uninstalled the old version and tried to install from scratch and now I can't do that either so I am stuck without a working version of LSC.

Sorry for some odd reason I didn't get notified when you posted your original reply, so I will give that a try in the next few days and post back an answer.
I uninstalled the original version of LSC not AIR - I tried to uninstall AIR but I could not because it does not show in the list of installed programs which seems odd.
Also TVSU told me there was a new version of LSC available, and I downloaded it. Supposedly it was installed but when I rebooted, it was still running the old 1.1.007.00 version which is not the new version that was supposedly installed (2.4.003) - which is not the version on the Lenovo web site (2.5.002).
It fails both when trying to install via direct install of 2.5.002 from lenovo.com, and when trying to update from the self update offered from the Lenovo Message Center.

Why does Lenovo Solution Center keep running every time I log back on?

Hi all,
Have a Thinkpad L430.
Every time I log back into my user account on the laptop, whether from fresh boot, sleep or hibernate, within a few minutes I get interrupted by the Windows 7 User Account Control asking me if I want to allow lsc.exe to run.
If I view details it says it is program location '"C:\Prgam Files\lenovo\lenovo solution center\lsc.exe" -updatestatus'.
I've no problem with the machine checking for updates but a) I'd rather it did it when the daily Windows Home Server backup is running (i.e when I'm still asleep and not actively using the computer) and b) I'd like to know if there's any way to allow this program to run as admin so it doesn't keep interrupting me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should be able to disable it in the LSC dashboard. I will download LSC and locate it for you.
*edit* Launch LSC>Dashboard View>Edit>Drag "Updates" or any unneeded item to the right "Events not monitored" section to disable.

X230 - Graphic(GUI) of the LSC(Lenovo Solution Center) seems weird..

Hello,
This is my first time to post a thread in this community (just bought my brand new x230 model yesterday )
Everything seems working fine, however, every time I open up the LSC(Lenovo Solution Center), it displays as below:
Link to picture
Please ignore the language (OS is Korean version).
Anyhow, the graphic seems black GUI instead of the orginal version.
It seems like something is conflicted each other...Or is it just my computer problem?
To figure out, what I tried was to delete the program and re-install it, however, it happens again (first 2 or 3 times work fine..)
Can I solve this grapih issue? D:
