Windows 10 killed my Thinkpad Yoga 14's keyboard

That's good to hear.
At this point, how these legacyish and low-level BIOS updaters interact with the brand-new and really different Windows 10 is unknown. That and especially in cases where Windows is buggy or unstable, it's safer to use a bootable option.

Did you update your BIOS before upgrading to Windows 10? There's an entry that vaguely says "Core update to supprot windows 10."
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-yoga-14/downloads/ds101225
At this point, I'd recommend using the bootable ISO instead of flashing from within Windows:

Which you should be able to put on a flash drive instead:

Actualizaciones windows 8.1 pro Thinkpad Yoga S1

hola , qusiera su ayuda en esta condicion sobre las actualizaciones de windows Update de Windows 8.1 Pro , mi problema es que hace un mes tengo un Thinkapad Yoga S1 y como trae presinstalado Windows 8.1 se bajaron e instalaron actualizaciones por defecto del sistema, pero despues de esta condicion se produjo que el sistema para conectar a internet era muy lento y en algunaas ocaciones no cargaba pagina, comprobe la conectividad en otros computudaroes y era normal en conexion wifi y carga de paginas en internet. restaure el sistema de windows 8.1 de fabrica en el equipo pero para el tema de las actualizaciones lo dehje manual y no he instalado ninguna , favor agradeceria me señalarn que actualziaciones debo instalar y no afecte el rendimiento del equipo y sobre todo en la conexion de wfi e internet.

Hola macontreras15 que tal,
Antes del formateo llegaste a verificar cuales fueron las actualizaciones que se instalaron? a partir de hay se puede observar en especifico que actualización en especifico es el problema y si una de estas actualizaciones son un caso genérico relacionado a tu problema, disculpa todo el rollo pero no tengo una Thinkpad yoga y no podría segurar que alguna actualización sea la culpable.
Lo que si podría ser y es poco regular una actualización relacionada a la WIFI de tu ordenador, en ese caso se debería intentar con la versión el controlador que tenias antes de dicha actualización, porque quizás la versión actualizada de ser el caso puede ser el problema.
Un saludo.

Clean reinstall Windows 8.1 on Thinkpad Yoga

Hello,
I have been having a large amount of trouble with my Thinkpad Yoga in that I have not been able to access the majority of the applications for a while. I have tried solving the problem, however after a number of failed attempts, I decided I would rather get rid of the bloatware anyway and do a clean re-install.
However, I am unable to perform a clean reinstall as no media came with my purchase. Where can I get a copy of windows 8.1 to perform a clean reinstall?

I would think the described methodology to create recovery media and reload a Lenovo Think system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload is clear enough?

ThinkPad Yoga S1 - Windows 10 unknown device

I did a clean installation of Windows 10 on my ThinkPad Yoga S1. After onstalling all drivers I still get followig device missing in device manager:
Unknown Device:Device Type: other devicesManufacturer: unknownPlace: Synaptics SMBus Driver I already installed Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 19.0.12.61 from 7/30/2015, so this does not change anything here. What driver is missing and can Lenovo provide it soon?

Also have an S1 with non-functioning palm rejection. The pen worked earlier, but now it no longer functions. It works in that it can calibrate itself in Wacom Pen settings, but otherwise refuses to register. UPDATE: restoring default settings under Wacom Pen settings has reenabled the pen and palm rejection appears to work again. Note: I installed recent Wacom FEEL drivers, which are the drivers that work with this model, among other tablet PCs with Wacom tech.

Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
I installed almost all of the drivers available on http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
Any help please?
Thank you.

Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
Any help please:
This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.
Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.

ThinkPad Yoga Synaptics TouchPad Error msg on Windows 7 startup and loss of gesture functions

I fresh installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my ThinkPad Yoga after getting fed up with windows 8.1. I now get the following error msg on each startup and the trakpad features do not work:
"synaptics touchpad 64-bit enhancements has stopped working"
I can use the mouse but non of the gestures work. I have not been able to find any other posts with similiar issues on the Yoga so any help on this would be most appreciated. The device driver installed was taken from the lonovo site and is the "Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav. Version 18.0.7.34 (N10GX08W)"

Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works.

No HDMI sound Windows 10 Thinkpad Yoga 12

No HDMI sound in Windows 10 on Thinkpad Yoga 12. Shows not connected in the sound panel, only video transmits over HDMI but soud plays throught speakers as it does not detect the audo link.

Update: I managed to fix it by using what brillat described here. "The HDMI Audio drivers, for whatever reason, are not installed when you install the Intel video driver. You know they are missing if in your device manager under "Sound" you see "High Definition Audio Device" - you should instead see "Intel(R) Display Audio". Download the video drivers from Lenovo. Extract but do not install. In the extracted folder, find the DisplayAudio folder. Find the "High Definition Audio Device" with PCI ID Vendor 8086 and Device 2807 in Device Manager. Manually update the driver of that device, pointing it to the DisplayAudio folder."

Thinkpad Yoga BIOS Update Problem after installing Windows 10

Hi all, I've been reading tonnes of threads here trying to solve my problems (which seem to keep getting worse) to no avail. I'm reaching out to anyone that can suggest some help before I end up bricking my yoga by accident or running it over on purpose. I'll give you a timeline of the events. The machine in question is a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 12.5" 20CD-0032USIntel Core i5 4200U 1.60GHz Processor4GB Ram128GB SSDWindows 8.1 64 Bit preloaded (recently upgraded to Windows 10) So the saga begun just a short two days ago. I had some spare time at home and decided to download and install my free upgrade to Windows 10. I backed up all of my important documents etc to OneDrive as I intended on performing a clean install. Said clean install went flawlessly with Windows 10 installing the first time with no issues or errors. Since I had performed a clean install, all my previous apps, including the stock Lenovo apps, had been deleted. I had anticipated this and only really desired to reinstall the app that automatically adjusts the screen orientation when folding the cover back. So in an effort to find this app and any Windows 10 related updates that may be available I went to support.lenovo.com and used the handy Lenovo Bridge app to automatically detect my hardware and suggest relevant updates. While combing through the suggested software I noticed a BIOS update that noted added support for Windows 10. How great, I thought, that Lenovo would have a BIOS update ready so quickly once 10 became ready for mass consumption. I went ahead and downloaded the exe version (not the bootable CD due to the lack of CD drive on the Yoga) and ran the BIOS update. As I ran the update the laptop was plugged in, and no errors were presented, a success message appeared and indicated a reboot was necessary, after a couple seconds the system rebooted itself. Enter nightmare level 1. As soon as the system rebooted, I fired up IE about to look for more updates and......BSOD stating that there was and issue with a driver, after another reboot BSOD again with a completely different file name stating driver file missing or corrupt. Sorry I didn't write any of the file names or errors down. At this point I'm thinking that something is not jiving here between the BIOS and OS. So I tried running repair, and recovery and each time I would end up with a BSOD of some design. It was at this point I made a USB with the Windows 10 x64 ISO from Microsoft in an attempt to run the repair utilities from the USB. Again to no avail. Enter nightmare level 2 After attempting multiple tries at recovering Windows 10 and getting multiple BSOD's through the process I decided to use my Windows 10 USB to simply reformat my hard drive to eliminate any traces of my now apparently corrupt OS and do a fresh install of Windows 10. This appears to have been a significant error on my part. Now I have no OS (BIOS is still intact so at least I think I have a not-bricked motherboard) and everytime I try to boot Windows 10, or 8.1 for that matter, from a brand new USB stick I get constant BSOD's.Sometimes I get as far as the Preparing installation files 22% but am interrupted by a BSOD error at some point. So I am pleading for some help here. To me it seems like the BIOS update was the issue. I was not smart enough to have checked the BIOS version before updating so that I would know what to roll back to safely. What would you all recommend for a rollback and how do I go about doing one with no OS on the machine. I know I'm asking for a tl;dr here but appreciate any advice offered. I really dont want to get to nightmare level 3, which I guess would be a bricked laptop and a bill for a new motherboard or laptop. The BIOS I currently have is GQET45WW (1.25) -Garrett

Thanks for the reply ColonelONeill, It turns out that Lenovo uses an obscure PERL disk image called "eltorito". As such the directions in the link you provided did not work as most common tools (WinZip, 7zip, and WinRAR) cannot extract the image file from an eltorito iso file. I instead just bucked up for a $50.00 Asus USB CD drive and burned the iso for version 1.25 and 1.24 onto discs. I then disabled the setting in the BIOS that prevents rolling back to a previous version and flashed to 1.24 from the disc. While this appeared to go successfully, as soon as I tried to boot from my Windows 8.1 CD I start receiving BSOD's again during installation. I then used the CD with 1.25 to go back to where I was in case it was simply a bad BIOS update at the time. Most of the BSOD's are driver related (qlfcoei.sys) which I don't understand since there is no OS other than what is on the bootable CD (or USB I've tried both) Is there anyone with a stable install of Win 8.1 x64 or 10 x64 running on a 20CD0032US that can tell me what version of BIOS they are running? My next step is to go back to a version that someone else can verify is working. Thanks again for any help.

Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

Hello people!
Last time I went to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode.
The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

First try SMC and PRAM resets:

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.
Ciao.

Thinkpad Yoga microphone not working

I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input. Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/.

ThinkPad Yoga - BitLocker- / TPM-problem

Hi everybody,
I got a very strange problem which I was unable to solve yet:
My ThinkPad Yoga won't work with BitLocker.
After initiation of the "BitLocker system test", it boots to the blue "BitLocker screen" - still, the PIN which was set before is not accepted. After cancellation of the test, Windows 8 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) states that the test failed, because the TPM could not be written.
While doing some troubleshooting, I recognized that BIOS states the TPM being in "MFG Mode" (= manufacturing mode?); this might be caused by a motherboard change done by the Lenovo service approx. 1 month ago.
My question is:
Does anybody know how to make the TPM leave "MFG mode" or any other solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
David

Multiboot Thinkpad Yoga 14

Hi
I just bought the Thinkpad Yoga 14 and one of the first things I wanted to do is to Install another Windows 8.1 next to the already installed one. So I resized the main partition to half its size... But when I press F12 to enter the BootMenu and I select the Bootable USB with Windows 8.1 on it(the setup of Windows off course), nothing happens.
Does this have something to do with Secure Boot or similar? How can I fix it? I usually have a Dualboot System, one for serious work and one I use for free time..
Sincerely
NicJak

That's right , the track pad is back to buttons. some people hated the present one.
I still cant find a £ price in the UK but its ok iv bought the 15s should ship this Thursday.
A word of warning dont belive a word of lenovo ship times , I have had 3 delays and will have waited 8 weeks for my machine iv it ever turns up? I think they just put them up for sale before they even exist..

Thinkpad Yoga 12 20CD extreme fan noise

Hi,
Last week, I had my Thinkpad Yoga 12 serviced, as it didn't boot anymore. The whole interior got replaced. Since then, the fan noise is really unbearable. It was the same when I initially bought the machine, but then, a BIOS update (don't know which anymore) fixed it. It's a loud high-pitch noise, like a whissle.
I need urgent help, my collegues are complaining of the noise.
Best regards,
Jeroen

Well here I am on the new thread as well - and like heck the issue was resolved on the old thread. As mentioned before by myself and others on the other thread, I would update the BIOS, the fan would work for a while, then it would stop again until I updated the BIOS yet again.HOWEVER, thinking on this, and a variety of other problems I've been having with the TP Yoga (a whole lot - such buggy software), I remembered from my T61 days that the Lenovo System Update software is pretty hit and miss with finding updates. So I went to the Lenovo downloads page for the TP Yoga and indeed found a lot of software not passed onto me by the System Update.Amongst these was (TA-DA !) a utility "Lenovo Fan Test for Windows". I thought it would be useful to install in any case to test if the fan was operating properly (it was not part of the standard suite of diagnostic tools provided on my computer).Anyway since I installed it my fan has worked !!! - but only when my computer is plugged in, though this I believe is because I am using Lenovo Power Optimized (Lenovo Power Manager was another software on the site not provided to me via System Update) which I believe relies on passive cooling (throttling back processor) when only battery power is available. But now TpFan works all the time, though only in smart mode, and when I plug in the power to stream a video the computer doesn't reach boiling point and then shut down.Interesting. My fan diagnostic comes up as unavailable...

Can't find the onekey recovery in my thinkpad yoga?

I need to backup my system after all the new installation but somehow can't find the onekey recovery in the new thinkpad yoga. Why the thinkpad yoga doesn't come with onekey recovery?
Also I downloaded and installed onekey recovery version 8.0.0.1219 but when I tried the system backup it said "Current system can not support back up". Am I missing something here? Has anyone able to back up their thinkpad yoga?
Any information will be appreciated.

Hi Jeng,
If your machine came with Windows 8 installed, backup and recovery media creation is via Windows in-built tools:
