Lenovo Solutions Center not showing driver/BIOS updates?

Hey all,
Got a new H50-55 (AMD) and G50-45 today and updated everything including LSC. Both desktop and laptop LSC say to go onto Lenovo's site for firmware/BIOS updates and they both needed BIOS at the least. I can't really work out if anything else needs updating or not.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Callum.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I dont think there is no app to show updates for drivers or software apart from the think branded products which come with thinkvantage system update
Cheers and regards,

Solutions Center not showing software updates

After installing driver updates that were suggested by the solutions center,, the solution center is not aware that the updates were installed. It keeps asking me to install updates. Very frustrating. I spoke with a software person who offered to fix my 2 week old machine for a fee

hi woofer,
AFAIK, you can remove the Lenovo Solutions Center if you manually update your drivers from the lenovo website and windows update but you could also keep it to benefit from its additional features like the system security and hardware checkup.
I'm unsure why the H520 isn't on the list of supported models but perhaps it isn't updated. Try to uninstall LSC and install the latest version below and observe:
Lenovo Solution Center for Windows 8 (64-bit), 7 (64-bit)
v2.2.002
lscsetup_x64_22002.exe

Lenovo Solution Center not compatible with Win 8.1 ?

After teh Windows Update on November 16th ... The soltuions center display a critical error syaing theat my Windows was never updated !?! Any other having this bug ? I wonder what prevents my Solution Center software from reading the update history !!! ...

Hi Griggs1,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you're having issues getting the Solution Center to work with your new Windows 8.1 laptop. I'm sorry to hear this, but with a bit more information I'd be happy to lend a helping hand
1. What model HP printer do you have?
2. Is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
3. Are you able to run the scan even though the Solution Center says the printer is disconnected? (I only ask because I've seen it many times!)
4. Have you tried downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor yet? If not, please try that and let me know what it has to say! If it fails anywhere, just let me know where it fails.
5. Did you install the printer using a download?
Once I have this information I will certainly do my best to have a deeper look into things!
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post resolved your issue, as it will help others find the solution faster

Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

Hi,
This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options.
I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times.
Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options.
Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed
Case #9026SN6
Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.
Solved!

NEVER use the .EXE method for a BIOS update. Always use the .ISO and the CD/DVD boot method. Never update after the warranty expires.

Lenovo Solution Center Windows 10 On Thinkpad Edge 15

Just upgraded to Windows 10. Ran Windows Update from Control Panel a couple of times. However, the Lenovo Solutions Center alerts showing Windows Upgrade never done. When I click on "launch" or "Windows Update" nothing happens. The is on a Thinkpad Edge 15. I was hoping to find a download for the Lenovo Solution Center software thinking I could delete it and then download it and reinstall to solve the problem. Obviously if there is another way that would be nice to know.

I have same problem on a diiferent model Lenovo desktop PC. If you want to try reinstalling the solution centre software, you can find it here: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovodiagnosticsolutions/tools/lscoverview Let me know how this goes, I might also try this myself.

Lenovo Solution Center does not sense or allow Windows Update after Windows 10 upgrade

Also see: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-A-B-C-N-S-Flex-and/Lenovo-Solution-Center-says-Windows-Update-needed-Windows-10/m-p/2136161#M6832 I'm having exactly the same issue as the user who started the thread linked above. After installing Windows 10 (and having no particular issues with the installation), LSC won't leave me alone about needing to run Windows Update. But when I click the Launch button provided, nothing happens. LSC is also recommending I update drivers and things, but the link provided to the Lenovo website also doesn't work. I had to run Windows Update and find the updated drivers on the Lenovo site myself. I happen to have a G505s, but the issue is obviously not restricted to one model.

Maybe a Lenovo server is down. Check again later or tomorrow.
Of course it might be that your firewall or other protection software is blocking the application from communicating with the Lenovo server...

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.

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.

'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

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.

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

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.

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 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 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

Lenovo solution center won't install update

Hi,
I've got a rather high spec Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, which I love. However, the Lenovo Solution Center keeps popping up saying "A new version of Lenovo Solution Center is available. Do you want to update now? <Update now> <Later>
When I click on update now, it downloads the ~35mb download for "2.4.002", but then doesn't install it. I'm concluding it doesn't install it by the fact that it remains on 2.2.002, the next day it'll ask me to download it again, and it does nothing after completing the download that would indicate that it has indeed updated the software.
I'm running Windows 8.1
According to the splash screen for Lenovo Solution Center, it is currently on version 2.2.002, revision 17630.
Thanks!
Andrew

I know this is an old post but for anyone else having this problem...
Once you download the update via Lenovo Solution Center and it doesn't automatically install:
1. Close the Lenovo Solution Center
2. Go to the folder "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\LSC\Local Store"
3. Right-Click on the LSCSetup64.exe file (or whatever your LSCSetupXX.exe file is) an choose "Run as Administrator".
Be sure to check the date of the LSCSetupXX.exe file to make sure it is current so you know it is what you just downloaded.
This will install the new version.
Once complete, open the Lenovo Solution Center as normal.
Enjoy!
Frank
