Yoga 1 13 - Windows 10 performance

I have an original Yoga 13.I loaded it with the Windows 10 Insider preview and was not impressed.  It had a lot of bugs and hardware issues. I am wondering if anyone has an original Yoga 13 and has loaded the final release of Windows 10.Does it seem to work ok?  Have they worked out the bugs?

Ditto. Wake times are longer than with 8.1, mic pickup is spotty, cursor occasionally stops following despite continued trackpad contact, etc.

  • Ideapad Yoga 11 with Windows RT - Issues

    Got my orange Yoga 11 with Windows RT a few days ago here in the UK, and I have to say that initial impressions are very good. No fan at all, barely gets wam, switches on from connected standby almost instantly, and battery life is really impressive. Build quality seems solid - no peeling paintwork, and keyboard is securely fastened, screen is great quality, there's some backlight bleed on the right side, but only visible when at 100% against a black background (i.e. never). There's a bit more flex and 'give' in the screen than I expected, but nothing I can't live with. Wifi signal is also strong and connections don't drop like others are seeing with the Yoga 13.
    So, Windows RT ... still getting used to it, but here are some initial niggles:  there only appears to be one Lenovo RT settings app available in the Store, and it's fairly useless, since all it does is provide a switch to lock/unlock keyboard in different orientations (why?). No Lenovo drivers are available from here either, I guess these all come from Windows Update for the RT model instead?
    The problems I'm having stem from not being able to tweak some system & hardware settings properly because of the above and the need to rely on stock driiver configs, specifically:
    - Keyboard: it can be quite sluggish, and doesn't register repeat letters very well (like in 'tell' or 'soon') at my typing speed. I've never experienced this with any keyboard, nevermind a Lenovo one. The stock keyboard config under Control Panel does nothing to help this - changing the two options for Repeat delay/Repeat rate just make it worse. This is quite annoying, as I really have to slow down my typing speed to get any work done. It would currently be my no. 1 reason for returning it, depending on how I get on with it this week.
    - Touchpad: no options are available to configure it that I can find. No tweaking multi-touch, like 2-finger scroll direction (which is reversed from the normal setting). It can also be very sluggish to respond sometimes, especially for pinch to zoom and similar gestures.
    - Bluetooth: allthough I can pair with e.g. Jamboxes fine enough, the connection is dreadful - constantly skipping and dropping out with any audio source, basically unusable.  The Jamboxes work fine with every other device I own. Again no settings I can tweak here beyond the installation options, and no way to debug the problem.
    Any help or advice with these niggles would be much appreciated, especially the keyboard issue.

    Just to add a few more passing thoughts to this monlogue for anyone who may be thinking of buying this model instead of the 13. 
    When it comes to Windows RT I'm finding myself more surprised every day by what I *can* rather than *can't* do with it.  Partly this is because I thought it would be something closer to a gimped Android or iOS experience.  Here are some things I didn't really expect to be available or usable, and that compare very well to those other OSes:
    - Remote Desktop (& RemoteApps): this really works very nicely, so far if I need quick access to a non-RT app it's a doddle to remote login to a W7 machine. I was expecting this to be too slow to be practical, but actually it's very smooth, and no need to install a separate app (although the Store has a Metro version to complement the desktop UI).
    - Windows Firewall with Advanced Security: I was expecting something dumbed-down, but this is the fully monty, completely configurable when you need it, otherwise less in your face than with W7. The same goes for Windows Defender, also included as standard.
    - Local Group Policy: I'm still surprised this is included, given that it otherwise only comes with W8 Pro.
    - Bitlocker: encrypts your drive by default OOB, no need to manage it at all.
    - Network browsing & sharing: really it's just a doddle to set up, using HomeGroup or just browsing the local network, access to all your network files OOB without installing any apps.
    - PlayTo: again, painless to set up and use, streaming all your media to DLNA devices.
    - Flash support, works just fine, and easy enough to add 'supported' sites to the list.
    - Explorer / File History / Disk management, really the whole suite is there without sandboxing or more apps needed for handling basic tasks.  So refreshing after iOS especially.
    - Admin tools / Powershell: the list of is impressive - full Task Manager, Event Viewer & Performance Monitor all included - and I was delighted to find Powershell in there too, especially since it's finally integrated into Explorer properly. Such a great, under-rated utility!
    - Media support: although I do miss a desktop media player with previews in Explorer, and better codec management, I was surprised by how quickly devs are stepping up to support different media types. Free apps already support mkvs and the like, and a VLC port is planned. I'm optimistic that this will get better.
    So basically, once you get past the point of accepting that you can't install legacy desktop programs or drivers, it's pretty much a solid Windows experience. I think the keyboard & typing speed is now my only major issue ... but I've almost convinced myself I can live with it so probably won't be returning it.
    Thanks for listening.

  • Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks?

    Hi,
    Please advice that currently we have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well.
    Please advise that which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks.  E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. Please advise us the full windows release version as we will upgrade windows as per your suggestion.
    We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1

    Please refer to the Installation Guide for Windows server requirements. Here is the link:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html#wp1099303
    Given that you want to stay with Windows Server, Server 2008 Standard Edition with service Pack 2 would be your best choice.
    NOTE that your should not (and cannot) use Server 2008 R2. That version in only supported with LMS 4.0.1. LMS 3.2 will not work with Server 2008 R2.
    With a 64-bit OS, you can increase your RAM - which is usually constraining system performance on systems with 32-bit OS. I recommend just putting in 16 MB. Why skimp on $100 RAM with $20,000 software?
    Your other alternative is to divide the server roles across several machines. That is a pretty complex task so I'd do the OS and RAM upgrade first and see how that helps you out.
    Re "Linux" LMS 3.2 (and 4.0/4.0.1) is only supported on Windows and Solaris operating systems. Plus if you're not a Uniux admin, the learning curve can be steep for your first dip in the water.

  • I need an audio driver for Yoga 13 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits English

    Hi all,
    I downgraded my Yoga 13 from Windows 8 to Windows 7 pro 64 bits, and ever since then I have a problem with my microphone.
    Skype finds the microphone and can use it, calls are all working fine, but any other program using audio does not work with the microphone.
    After troubleshooting, I concluded that I need to update the driver but I cannot find it. Anything that I find on the Lenovo support pages does not install (event the one found on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds002860​).
    After looking at this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tab​lets-and/I-need-an-Internet-driver-for-Yoga-13-wit​.... I figured I would to be provided with the link by someone from Lenovo support.
    Here's the hardware ID of the soundcard: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_506E&SUBSY​S_17AAA001&REV_1000. In Windows it is recognized as High Definition Audio (in the device manager).
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello,
    From looking at the Yoga 13 Hardware Maintenance Manual and downloading the driver package from the Realtek Wireless LAN & Bluetooth Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Yoga 13 page and extracting (but not running) it to look at the contents, it appears the Yoga 13 uses a wireless LAN card based on Realtek RTL8732 chipset. 
    I would suggest that you try downloading the drivers, expanding, but not installing them on to a USB flash drive or SD card, then plugging that into the Yoga 13, running the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), clicking on the appropriate entry for the wireless network adapter, selecting update, and then choosing the Browse my computer for driver software option, pointing that to the location of the unpacked drivers.  Perhaps Device Manager will find the correct drivers to install that way.

  • Yoga 2 10 (Windows 8) put to sleep, can't wake up, need to restart

    hi there, i bought my brand new yoga 2 10" windows tablet 2 weeks ago and have been experiencing waking up issues. the first time i left the tab for charging, when it was fully charged (led was on stil, not blinking) it didn' wake up, i couldn't turn it on, had to hold power + volume button until it restarted. since then i experienced the issue without throwing the charging part 3 times: i simply put it to sleep for half an hour, and when i try to wake it up, it simply doesn't. i need to hold the power button down so it restarts. seems like it doesn't wake up because it turns off by itself. i've read some bios update in another topic but it doesn't do the trick for me, by bios and windows is up to date. any ideas? thanks in advance,matyas

    Now I can't even turn the thing on. Not with holding the Power button down for a longer time (or multiple times), or Power+VolUp... Windows updates were installed yesterday, battery is full.  Any ideas? This is really really frustrating...

  • 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.

  • Yoga 2 Pro Windows 10 device orientation sensors not working windows 10

    I upgraded my Yoga 2 Pro to windows 10, and experienced some of the problems related to CPU throttling in tablet mode (running super slow) and they keyboard being disabled after suspend. After trying to upgrade drivers (none were newer that what was provided along with Windows 10) I reset Windows 10 (http://www.qoncious.com/questions/how-restore-windows-10-factory-settings) and it seems those two problems are gone, however I do have a new one
    It seems like the sensors are not being detected correctly. The screen rotation orientation is not being detected, and the position of the screen is also not being detected when it's flipped back.
    Device manager shows:
    - HID Sensor Collection V2
    - Sdo Sensor V2 10.0.10240.16384
    Related Computer Management Services appear to be up too:
    - Sensor Data Service (not running - running it doesn't seem to matter)
    - Sensor Monitoring Service (running)
    - Sensor Service (running)
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. Until then, hope this helps others get a usable Laptop running W10 at the least!
    Note - YMC is not anywhere to be found - and flipping the laptop still disables the keyboard but only at full rotation...I've read about this elsewhere on the net. Seems like we still need some drivers from Lenovo..

    emobo, I have the same lenovo yoga 2 pro as you (or similar enough... 3200 x 1800 display,  core i7,  256GB ssd).  I have also experienced problems with the windows 10 upgrade in the area of transitioning from laptop, stand,  tent & tablet mode.  In particular,  tablet/tent/stand mode becomes extremely laggy and unresponsive,  as if taps and screen interactions are stacked in a queue,  then,  execute dafter 10 to 30 seconds...  (Its not related at all to screen rotation lock - that works fine). For the others reading this post... the features are described on the lenovo 2 product page and are (or were?) the highlight of owning this type of laptop.  i.e. when flipping the screen around past some point,  keyboard is disabled... http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/yoga-laptop-series/yoga-laptop-2-pro/ I did the original upgrade via the in place win 8.1 to win 10 upgrade,  keeping all applications,  including the Lenovo software that was included when I bought it ~ 1 year ago.  The laptop did transition automatically to tablet mode,  but performance in tablet mode was unstable and pretty much unusable. I clean installed windows 10 by using the refresh my PC using the keep nothing (no apps,  no files) option.   I backed up to my NAS first... I don't keep may files on the PC anyways - most are on OneDrive. Since then I have been hesitant to put back on the Lenovo software,  and decided to just use the manual swipe in from the right to switch into table mode manually until Lenovo gets a solid windows 10 version of the transitioncontrol software released.   The problem with manual switching...  the keyboard is still active (maybe there is some setting for that somewhere...) if I feel adventurous again,  I may try installing the Lenovo software again.  Will post back what I find. Posting this even though I have no solution... more because I still think it is a software problem,  not something wrong with the actual hardware.

  • ITunes on Windows 7 performance issues - slow and hangs

    Is there any way to improve performance of iTunes running on Windows 7?
    It has always been slow with lots of application hangs and stalls that will resolve themselves if you wait for iTunes to catch up, but I find it incredibly frustrating.
    For example, when iTunes starts and if it is checking podcasts, the entire application is unresponsive until it finishes checking and refreshing podcasts.
    Alternately, when viewing my iPad Air and looking at the list of apps installed via iTunes it can take 30 seconds before iTunes responds.
    Considering that this is running on a system with a quad-core Haswell processor at 3.2Ghz, 16GB of RAM and Windows 7 x64 it is pretty unacceptable.
    The efficiency at which iTunes operates is just appalling.  I can run Adobe Photoshop and many more memory hungry and processor intensive applications than iTunes and get better performance than what I see in iTunes.
    This is not specific to my system either.  All of my family members have iPhones and their own computers and this performance issue exists on every computer I have ever run iTunes on.
    Is there any way to manually tune performance because this is pretty crappy.  It's been bugging me for years, but today just kind of feels like the last straw.

    I guess the answer is, "It's terribad, live with it"

  • Yoga 2 11 Windows closes all my programs when I close the lid

    Lenovo Yoga 2 11
    Model 20332
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    When I close the lid of the tablet/laptop, I expect that Windows will go to sleep and that when I open the computer and login, all of my windows and programs should be open as I had them when I closed the lid. Sometimes, this is the case. But other times, when I open the lid, it's as if I had logged completely out -- no windows are open, and any programs running in the notification area (e.g. Bittorrent Sync) are no longer running.
    How do I configure this so that my programs are not closed when I close the lid or otherwise make the computer go to sleep?
    My current Windows settings:
    Control Panel > Power Options: Daily Plan
      Turn off the display: On battery: 10 minutes, Plugged in: 30 minutes
      Put the computer to sleep: On battery: 30 minutes, Plugged in: 1 hour
      Allow hybrid sleep: On battery: On, Plugged in: On
      Hibernate after: On battery: 120 Minutes, Plugged in: Never
    Power and sleep buttons and lid settings:
    When I press the power button: On battery: Hibernate, Plugged in: Sleep
    When I press the sleep button: On battery: Sleep, Plugged in: Sleep
    When I close the lid: On battery: Sleep, Plugged in: Sleep

    Did you check the startup setting in Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts" ?

  • Yoga 2 Pro Windows 8.1 stuck in automatic repair loop

    So my Yoga 2 Pro is stuck in the (in)famous Windows 8 Automatic Repair Loop, and I'm not sue how to fix it now. I unfortunately neglected to create a Recovery USB stick, so what are my options without it?
    I've already tried booting the computer with the Novo button and choosing System Recovery, but at that point the system goes right back into the Automatic Repair loop. I'd strongly prefer to back up my data before resintalling Windows if that's an option--is it possible to stick the SSD into another computer to do so?
    Also, would a USB recovery disc created by someone else with a Y2P be useable on my system? I don't need the full partition image since the one already on mine should suffice. I'm also unsure of my system's Windows 8 Product Key, where can I get that if/when I do need to reinstall Windows?
    Thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

    First and foremost, good luck: 
    Method 1:
    Wait for the machine to boot into the 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' error message.
    Click the 'Advanced Options' button
    Open cmd and type:
    bootrec /fixMBR
    bootrec /Fixboot
    bootrec /rebuildBCD
    and also
    chkdsk /r c:
    chkdsk /r d:
    Method 2:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNKEsOF7e4M
    Method 3 (copied from a youtube comment):
    1. Turn on the computer. 
    2.  Wait for the machine to boot into the 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' error message.
    3.  Click the 'Advanced Options' button
    4.  Click the 'Troubleshoot' button
    5.  Click the 'Advanced options' button
    6.  Click the 'Startup Settings' button
    7.  Wait for the system to reboot into the 'Startup Settings' menu (is the same menu for safe mode)
    8.  Select the 'Disable early launch anti-malware protection' option. (Press '8')
    9.  If this worked for you, you should now boot into windows.
    10. Now you can shutdown your system and it should hopefully work first time the next time you start the system.

  • Opening new window when performing cut, paste and delete on Audio Files

    This is 100% reproducible:
    When performing one of the following actions when editing audio files (not multitrack projects), it will open a new window with the same file:
    - Cut
    - Delete
    - Paste
    This happens on new files as well as opened files.
    The new window looks like this:
    This did not happen in SP2. Can anyone else confirm?
    Message was edited by: Erik K Veland

    Hi,
    Really??!! This solved it for you, your window no longer pops up when you perform an action?
    Did you move the layouts to another location and then SP3 created new layout files in that default location or did you set a preference for another location? Or did you just rename the existing layout?
    I am probably making this solution more complicated than it is, but those are my questions.
    Thank you, Ken

  • 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.

  • X4540 Windows RAID5 Performance

    We have good performance from our X4500/X4540 hardware when running ZFS on Solaris but now have a requirement to use a couple of them for Windows directly. We have tested an X4540 with Windows 2008 x64 and various RAID5 volumes both using the storage tools native to the OS and using Veritas SFW but have very poor write performance.The sequential read performance is fine >500MB/s but 18MB/s for sequential writes on an 8 disk RAID5 volume is unacceptable when a single disk or a mirrored pair are able to sustain >60MB/s. I have been using iometer to generate the load using the same test profile I use for other storage. My suspicion is that the software RAID stack in Windows is restricting the performance as a Dell PE2850 with a 5 disk U320 software RAID 5 volume also has poorer than expected performance. Before we use our Premier contract to ask Microsoft about this I thought it was worth asking here if anyone else had experience of this? It's so bad we've thought about running Solaris on it and then Windows in VirtualBox and presenting iSCSI targets from the host to the guest.

    Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone with my RAID 5 performance issue. I posted on some Microsoft Forums too but all I've had back is a recommendation to use RAID 10 which IMHO was less than helpful.
    I hadn't tried the Nvidia teaming but have just configured a failover pair using two unused interfaces on a X4540 and I get a fifth interface listed with the Device Name "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Virtual" and it appears to operate as expected. Then I configured it as 802.3ad and it hung entirely. Not good.
