Lenovo Solution Centre - Software updates: How to recognize which software to update?

Hi,
I have Lenovo Solution Centre v2.4.002. When I am inside "Home" section, it indicates with "!" symbol above "Updates" picture that I have some software unupdated.
So I go into "System" section where I see number 1 above "Software updates".
When I click on "Software updates" there is only this information: "Go to Lenovo's Website to update the Lenovo software on your system". But I do not know WHICH software I have to update. Lenovo Solution Centre does not told it to me.
Please, how to recognize WHICH program/driver is out of date and therefore LSC ask me to update it.
Thanks.

@mirek...
It's a manual process. You'll need to open up Device Manager on your machine, double-click specific devices (such as Audio), switch to the Driver tab, and there you will see what version is installed. Then you can look at what is available in the driver matrix and decide if you want to update a particular driver.
The general wisdom is that it may not be necessary to update a driver unless your having a specific problem, or the driver adds some new desired functionality. This is especially true for BIOS updates.

Unable to install / upgrade or remove Lenovo Solution Centre

I'm getting following error while installing/upgrading or while removing lenovo solution center. I googled for the error code & found the links with windows installer error issue. But my windows installer is working good and could able to install all applications except lenovo solution centre.
I tried to delete directory and to install the newer copy but still getting this error.
Kindly guide me to remove it completely(maybe registry items to be removed ) and get it freshly installed.

Was your win7 install a Shipped lenovo install or win7 from box store install?
LSC current is version 2.0.020, released march 20, 2013.
If you used system update, it MAY not offer the most current release.
LSC MSI install log is in C:\Users\YOUR id\appdata\local\temp\LSC.log .
If you used factory install version of LSC, it is old.
==
you stated 2 issues.
(1) Some lsc version wont execute, lets say factory version.
(2) Upgrade/reinstall of some version of LSC, does msi failure, 1721.
==
I just installed Latest LSC, will uninstall shortly.
(1) error 1, you need to perform your first backup IE RNR, windows backup. dah, backed up weekly for 18 months (rnr) . error 2, You do not have enough space to perform a backup operation.
exact screen:
If you have an additional external hard drive, you can back up your data to that device. To view Lenovo external hard drive options available for purchase, Shop now.
155 GB free on my second HDD, my backup drive. SHOP NOW. Last incremental was 328 MB.
(2) warranty expired (correct), Benefits to product registration ( did that in 2008). Register NOW. But it knew i had a 3 year warranty.
(3) Hardware scan recommended. Thank you, 1 correct, Still using pc-doctor.
(4) You have windows update set to not auto install. correct.
(5) Adobe-air self updated on the 2nd launch of LSC.
IF you 1721, you ahead of the game.
Just download the hardware check LSC (linux). Need ISO burner software. download Memory check if you wish.
My 1st year on current, 2GB memory failed, mouse failed, DVD burner failed. POS-lsc, point of sale? Use your favorite seach engine , search POS if you wish.

Problem Alerts with Lenovo Solution Centre (Thinkpad B50-30)

Hello All,
I am experiencing problems with the Lenovo Solution Centre on a brand new Lenovo B series laptop B50-30 Windows 8.1.
First off upon booting the laptop for the first time I was getting an alert message for the warranty saying. it was not available.
I thought this may have been due to the fact that on warranty status, the start date was incorrect. I did email a copy of the receipt and the date has now been corrected. However, I am still getting an alert in the Lenovo Solution Centre saying warranty not available (please see first picture).
I looked around the web and found one solution that involved uninstalling Lenovo Solution Centre, rebooting, reinstalling Lenovo Solution Centre and rebooting but that hasn't helped.
In fact now, I am getting two alerts. The same warranty alert again and one about storage devices (please see second picture).
The Lenovo Solution Centre is saying that a partition on the hard drive has less than 9.5% available (third picture) but as you can see in the fourth attached picture there is plenty of space. I have only had the laptop a week and there is hardly anything on there.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in Advance

The alerts about low available space in a partition showed up with the latest version of LSC.
There are 2 other posts here with the same type alert message.
Maybe the next release of LSC will address the issue (bug).

Lenovo Solution Centre Small Business Maintenance

The model is a 3347 (ThinkPad Twist) running Win 8 64 bit. The version of the Small Business Solution Centre being run is 1.1.27.5565 (which by the way has not been posted in Downloads).
Four jobs are to run after hours: namely, After Hours Maintenance, Disk Defrag, Delete Cookies, and Delete Temp files. The first is run daily and the others weekly. The machine is supposed to wake up to run the tasks (whether powered off or sleeping). The problem is the jobs fail to run with only a "task incomplete" notation. There is no entry in Event Viewer to explain the failure. I can run the tasks manually without a problem.
I also note that the first job is not listed in Task Scheduler but the other three are, under Intel. Nonetheless all jobs fail to run as scheduled. The machine has been plugged in at night.
My first thought was to reinstall the program but I can't find this version for download. Suggestions?

This is going straight to downhill
I found update to Intel Management Engine for Win 8.1 here:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&DownloadType=Drivers&keyword=intel+manage...
I updated it and this is what it did!!
So now I get rid of that annoying update box that thold me tu update IME but now whole Lenovo Solution for Small Business program wont work anymore

Q190 and Lenovo Solution Center Software

Is the latest available Solution Center Software compatible with--or intended to be used on--the Q190 "entertainment" PC? My version says I need a driver update, bu they are all current.
The only download source I can find within Lenovo does not list the Q series computers as compatible--yet an earlier verson of SC came preloaded on the machine.
Thanks for any available insight.

Hi Z34jcm,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that the LSC (Lenovo Solution Center) is not available for Q190 Desktop. Below is the link to download the compatible version of LSC, while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error:
Lenovo Solution Center for Windows 8.1 (64-bit), 8 (64-bit), 7 (64-bit) - Desktops, Notebooks, WorkS...
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Lenovo solution center doesn't seem to recognize System Mechanic Pro as an antivirus program

I I just recently purchased a Thinkpad T430s and also purchased System Mechanic Pro - all from the Lenovo website. When I installed System Mechanic Pro - it advised me to remove any other antivirus program on my laptop as multiple antivirus programs can cause conflicts. It looks like Lenovo had pre-installed Norton, so I uninstalled it and installed System Mechanic Pro, which seems to be working well.
The issue is that Lenovo's Solution Center does not seem to recognize System Mechanic Pro as an antivirus and continues to state that I have not installed an antivirus program.
Am I missing something? Isn't System Mechanic Pro an antivirus? Is there a way to get Lenovo's Solution Center to recognize I have an antivirus installed?
Thank you.

I have similar problem,, with AVIRA.
Does this solve it? http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT071264 I'm holding off for now.

Hp Solution Centre software will not install on windows 8.1

I have just replaced my old HP Laptop with a new HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC and have managed to install my Hp Photosmart C4780 printer but am unable to get the software for the Hp Solutions to install. I have downloaded the file from the Hp site and it states it should work on Windows 8.1 but it extracts the files and then does nothing . I have run print and scan doctor about 10 times now but after many frustrated hours no joy. Worked perfectly on Windows 7 premium but doesnt want to know with WIndows 8.1

Hi,
Carefully follow the steps below and check if that may resolve the issue:
1. Open Mcafee software, from the Virus and Spyware Protection section click on Schedule and run scans.
Click on Real time scanning and then on Turn Off.
select Never and confirm by clicking the Turn Off button.
2. Open the run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type %windir% and click on OK.
3. Type hpoins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpoins1.old)
4. Type hpwins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpwins1.old)
5. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
6. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
7. Reboot your PC
8. Run the installation file and check for any difference.
9. Once you are done, be sure to open McAfee and re-activate Real Time Scanning.
Please let me know of any progress,
Shlomi

HP solution centre software is no longer available (Deskjet 1050A, Windows 7)

I installed the drivers and software when I received the printer (HP Deskjet 1050A All In One) over a year ago it has always worked OK. Used it for the last time yesterday. Now, when I click on the same desktop icon or run it from my programs menu I get a basic Windows screen ( I am in Windows 7) where the only options I get are 'See Whats Printing', 'Printer Preferences' and 'Customise Your Printer'. This has replaced the previous software where I could access options such as 'Printer Actions', 'Maintenance tasks', 'Align Ink Cartridges', 'Check Ink Levels' and 'Align Print Heads'. I don't know what has caused this to change, but I now have no means of running these options. I uninstalled the software then reinstalled from the original disk, but no change.
Anyone think they might know what is going on?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi there Rawmarsh_Blade, welcome to the forums
I saw your post about all of the printer software options not being available to you any longer. I would suggest running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows to install the full feature driver again. It seems like you might have the basic driver installed.
I hope that works for you!
Have a great weekend

Lenovo Solution Center says Windows Update needed Windows 10

Thanks for your help, I have the Lenovo B50-30 AIO and recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Everything seemed to go flawlessly with the exception of one small problem. I am constantly being nagged by the Lenovo Solution Center to Update my Operating System. When I run Windows update, it says 'No Available Updates', yet LSC still nags me with that screen. When I go into LSC and click on the Launch button to fix the problem, nothing happens. Is this a problem with LSC or is there something that I am doing wrong?

All,
I've shared this conversation with our LSC development team and here is how I understand the siutation...
LSC 2.8 was tested with Windows 10, but this situation occurs because Windows 10 does not fill in the update date after the OS install. After 1 day, and the date changes, the symptoms should go away.
We are working on improving this in the next version fo LSC 3.1 which is a few weeks away...
Edit:
Speedwell, I've also noted the launch button issues with the team to re-test and make sure works properly.
Update 8/5/15 - confirmed launch button issue on 2.8.5 and lower. This is going to be addressed in a new version.
An interrim support tip is being released on our support site to explain the work around:
1) Navigate to taskbar
2) Type "Windows update" in teh search the web and windows field
3) Select "Check for Updates" at the top of the search results
4) The Windows update will appear
5) Select check for updates button
Apologies that this did not work as intended, and I appreciate your patience as we release an updated version.
Best regards,
Mark

ISSUE: Lenovo Solution Center update resets all Settings!

Longstanding problem continues with update to 2.0.020: When Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) updates, all Settings are reset, wiping out options to suppress certain screens and alerts. While not a functionality issue, it's very annoying to have to configure LSC all over again after evey update, so much so that some of my clients stop updating (one client called it the Lenovo Annoyance Center, and removed it entirely), so please fix this issue. Thank you.
Hope that helps,
John
ThinkPad T450s [ i7-5600U | 8GB | 1TB SSD | Full HD IPS | 802.11ac | BT | Webcam | FR | Win8.1Pro64 ]

We're aware of this issue and agree it is very annoying, especially since LSC updates itself so often. LSC team tells me fixing it is a priority for an upcoming release (either 2.1 or 2.2). Sorry for this inconvenience caused by LSC.
