Lenovo Yoga 13 after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

After upgrading to Win 8.1, i encountered a number of problems with Audio, and Video these problems were all solved by simple driver updates but one main problem seems to persist. Whenever the screen is tilted outside of laptop mode (when in tent, presentation or tablet mode) the performance of the laptop slows down tremendously. Video and Audio playback is sluggish and the overall system runs slowly until you return it to laptop mode then everything runs smoothly. If anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated as i just purchased this product which was not cheap, being a student and all.
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

First of all you need to get into safemode
for that press f8 or del key while starting the computer
then you will get many options there you must go to safemode
Secondly ,after getting to safemode go to 1.control panel ->2.Device Manager->3.Disable AMD HD Graphics
Thats all
then restart your computer to get into normal mode
May be if you upgrade your amd hd driver your black screen problem will be gone

Lenovo B590 I3 slow after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Am looking for the best fix for slow laptop after Windows upgrade from 8 to 8.1

Dear, alanj9za and somran. Mostly laptop runs slow issue occurs due to broken Windows registry entries. Fixing registry will help you to boost up your laptop. You need to download and install a Registry Cleaner program to fix corrupt or broken registry entries. To download a reliable registry cleaner, go to famous website download.cnet and search there Reginout. Which I personally use and recommend the friends. After downloading run all of its tools one by one except Internet Optimizer, to clean all the junks and registry errors from your computer.

Miix 10 - Graphics, sound and general performance problems after Windows 8.1 upgrade

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8 (tablet Lenovo Miix 10) and I encountered the following problems:
1. It wasn't possible to install an update of Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver through Windows Update. This update was "available" until I downloaded the new chipset drivers from Lenovo support.
2. Some times after returning from standby, It displays the message that the graphics card had crashed.
3. I have encountered several problems in these applications:
a) Twitter: When I scroll up and down my timeline the flow is not smooth. When I stop the scrolling to see a tweet the display does not stop, but it does a small "jump" in the direction that I was scolling before It returns to the point that I had stopped scrolling.
b) Fresh Paint: It is impossible to draw something. I cannot describe the problem, but it is exactly what happened also to this guy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-winapps/fresh-paint-81-unusable-and-bloc...
c) In Solitaire I encountered the same problems with this guy: http://forums.xbox.com/gfw/xbox_on_windows/l-o/f/3066/t/1467072.aspx
3. In general, after the Windows 8.1 update the feeling I get when I use my tablet is that it has become more slow and unresponsive.
What is the cause of these problems? Will they be solved after the release of new drivers and when?

Unable to start after Windows 7 Pro upgrade, am I crazy?

I'm now on my fourth try and I'm about to lose my patience.
I purchased a T400 6475-B14 with Vista, 32 bit. I purchased a copy of Windows 7 Professional upgrade. I am installing the 64 bit disc. Currently the machine has 2GB of ram, but I ordered 4GB (2X2GB) of RAM from Lenovo and it should be here in a few days. Additionally, since the machine is still under warranty Lenovo is sending me the restore discs (I think that's what they are called) and they should be here in a few days as well.
On my three previous attempts I upgrade the OS and everything seems to be fine. However when I go to the Lenovo site it can't detect my system. That seems a bit odd, but I can deal with it. I put in all of the machine info and download the Toolbox. Once I did that tells me to download the System Updater, but for some reason it forwards me to the link for Vista/XP. I then manually find the System Updater, Win 7 64 bit, download and install it and it finds and installs the PowerManager, Connections, Recovery and Repair, etc.
I don't seem to have any problems until I shut down the machine. When I go to restart, the machine hangs at the 4 color Microsoft logo. After a few minutes (5-10) it gives me the option to try and restore to a previous point and fix the machine. However each time it tells me that the system is unable to repair itself. I then reboot and hit the F11 button at the THINKPAD screen and restore to a previous version.
Last night, after the two previous restorations failed to give me a stable machine I completely reinstalled the OS. Everything seemed to be working fine again. However this time I rebooted after each update, to see where the problem might be.
I had downloaded all of the System updater info except for the R & R and C++. I installed C++, but it didn't require a restart. I think installed the R & R, installed it and then machine rebooted.
Then the same thing happened again!!!!!!!!
I went into the diagnostics and it came the the following:
Root Cause Found:
A recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from starting.
Repair Action: System Restore
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x1f
Repair action: System filed integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 945178ms
I'm going to re-install Windows 7 again, but this is starting to really drive me crazy (granted it's a short road, but still!).
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm not trying to do anything crazy and I'm following the instructions to the letter but I still can't seem to get my system to work!!!!!!
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
GBA

Hi,
You are doing (trying to do) exactly what I did when I punted Vista (good riddance!) and updated to Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400. I don't see anything obvious that you are doing wrong. Here's what I did:
Installed Win 7 upgrade as a clean install. Then ran Windows update. Then installed ThinkVantage System Update for Win 7, and let it do its thing, No problems.
Is that the updater you installed?

System won't turn off, restart, hibernate or sleep after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Help, please!!
Two days ago in windows 8 store popped up an update to windows 8.1 for my pc. I am an owner of two notebook PC-s, both Lenovo, G580(which upgraded successfully without any issues, also it has intel inside) and G585(which upgraded without any issues, untill
the set up completed and it booted up, it has AMD)
So the AMD one, Lenovo G585, refuses to shut down, restart, sleep or hibernate, the only way to shut it down is to force it to turn off, meaning i have to press the power button for a couple of seconds. Along with other issues this is the only one i wasn't
able to resolve. I have contacted my Lenovo support and they said there is nothing they can do and that i can only wait for an update... and in the meantime am i supposed to let this windows 8.1 upgrade
mess up my new notebook?
Ok, so i was stupid enough not to run windows 8 backup before i started this update, silly me, thinking what could go wrong, it's not like M$ described this upgrade as something like evolution of the century,
but enough about that, i have tried every possible solution, updated my drivers, run admin cmd and typed powercfg -devicequery wake_armed - it displayed NONE, typed powercfg -lastwake - it displayed wake history count - 0, i tried entering BIOS and checking
if there is anything in there i could possibly change, found nothing, tried disabling hibernate, still nothing, and each time i try putting my pc in one of those states the screen turns off, and it all seems like the pc will any moment and yet nothing it just
stays on for countless hours unless i once again force it to shut down, also when in sleep mode no keys work for waking it up, mouse and keyboard are meaningless, the only button that works is the power button which turns it off completely and then i can turn
it on all the way from the begining, so far at least that makes me happy, but continuing like this i will mess up my PC.
PC specs:
OS - Windows 8.1 x64, came preinstalled Windows 8 x64
Processor: AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.30GHz
RAM: 4GB
Microsoft, any solutions to this one?

Last week I put a new hard drive in and loaded Windows 8 instead of Windows 7 (which I was previously using), it is a legit copy I had purchased and downloaded from Microsoft when Windows 8 first came out. I had problems with activation, called Microsoft
and they remotely connected fixing the problem. Sleep Mode worked until it did the 8.1 upgrade.Now the System will not turn off, Sleep or Hibernate. If I go to Sleep or Hibernate, the monitor turns off, hard drive turns off, but the fans are still
running. Try to wake up with mouse and nothing happens, have to hit the restart button. If I try to shut down, it does the same thing, I can only shut down by holding the button. I have tried everything suggested here, nothing has worked.
I would reload, but don't want to have to go through the problem of activating again. The system32>sfc /scannow found nothing wrong, network adapter is not allowed to wake the computer, sharing turned off, and disabled the hybrid-shutdown-feature.
Computer has been scanned and re-scanned, not infections. Video driver was re-installed. I have checked all settings in BIOS.
I was hoping that someone has found a solution to this problem.

Problems with Twist Before and after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

I'm not sure if this is a problem on Windows' end or Lenovo's, but here it goes. Problems AFTER Windows 8.1 update:
1.) When I close the computer, even though the power management settings are set to put the computer to sleep, it only goes to sleep about 50% of the time. If I don't catch it, that means the battery will drain completely while I'm under the impression it's sleeping. The kicker is, even if I do catch it, I can't get the computer to turn back on. The screen stays black until I hold the power button down and force the computer to turn off and restart it.
2.) iTunes will not open. I don't get any numbered error message, just a message that it failed. I've tried running iTunes in compatibility mode, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, to no avail.
Problems BEFORE:
1.) When I first got the computer, it was super quiet. Now the fan is pretty loud and buzzy. It seems that it may even be brushing something, because if I push the bottom up ever so gently, the sound goes down by half. Not a huge issue, but especially noticeable when I'm in tablet mode.
I know that at least the last one isn't a unique problem. I can kind of live with that, but the first two are really driving me nuts.

I made the mistake of loading W8.1 on my Twist without realizing how raw and bug prone the preview really could be. The backout would require reloading a lot of applications, and this is not my primary PC, so I am toughing it out. Saw updates load. Current build is 9431.
I am currently uninstalling software and updates until I get a stable environment again. Here is some general feedback...
I have not had an issue with the Lenovo System Update running. I suggest you do ONE update at a time.
50% of the shutdown/reboots fail and I need to hard power off with the power button
Manually loading the latest Intel video driver software caused MAJOR problems. Many programs simply did not run and everything was locking up. Backing that out motivated me to remove other stuff. The Lenovo System Update is offering to install a driver which I will attempt after all other firmware and drivers are updated.
I use the Classic Shell v3.6.8 on the desktop. I thought the 8.1 would return the start button, but I assume that Classic Shell is overriding that.
Like others, I have had trouble getting the Juniper VPN software to load and work. Trying to back everything out, but the virtual juniper nic is still showing up in the device manager.

Sql Server 2008 side effect after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hi
After installing Windows 8.1 upgrade, I can't see a SQL SERVER instance.
I had Windows 8.0 Enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed and an instance named SVR12/SIMBD
All Windows 8.1 upgrade worked fine, no crashes no creepy messages
But now I can't to connect to the instance, nevertheless SQL Server Management Studio detects the instance SVR12/SIMBD
Looking at services runnings there are a Service named
SQL Server instead SQL Server (SIMDB)
as before the OS upgrade
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm stuck
Saludos David

What do you mean by "I can't see a SQL SERVER instance"?
Start by using SQL Server Configuration Manager to see what SQL Server instances are installed and if they are running. (If you don't have an icon for Configuration Manager, try C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc )
Or start services.msc and check the services that are installed and running.

Where do I find my OEM Lenovo Yoga IdeaPad 13 Windows 8 activation key?

Hello, a couple of days ago, I received my Lenovo Yoga Ideapad 13 in the mail. I turned it on and soon noticed that Lenovo had really screwed the pooch on how they partitioned the device. The SSD was 128GB but only 60GB was given to the C drive. The rest was either on the D drive or in some hidden partition.
I almost immediately proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 8.
I procured an ISO of Windows 8 and ran through the install process. For this post, I'm going ot ignore some of the issues I ran into in this process (wifi not working by default) and cut right to my current problem: I cannot legally activate Windows 8 unless I have a valid activation key. Where is this key found?
The "About Windows 8" post on this very board says that it should be found somewhere on my laptop, but I couldn't find it. I even played with the idea of opening up the ultrabook to see if it was on the inside. I decided to hold off on this until I can get a professional tear-down guide from iFixIt or something.
In the meantime, where do I find my key?

It is either on a sticker somewhere on the laptop Usually on the bottom side of the laptop. Or it is attached to a card in the documents that came with laptop. My Toshiba laptop shipped with its Windows 7 code in both places. There was a sticker attached to the bottom of the laptop and there was another Genuine Windows Card that was mixed in with all the manuals that also contained the number. I would look there as well.
