Yoga 11S upgrade to Windows 8.1 issue

My YOGA 11 S came with Windows 8.0. I upgraded to Windows 8.0 Pro W - Media Center without an issue a few weeks ago. Today I have twice attempted to install the WIN 8.1 Upgrade from the Store. Both attempts failed and rolled it back to WIN 8 pro. It's a stock machine, no mods at all. Please let me know if any others are experiencing issues.
Both times the error info were reportedly sent to MS.
Thank You
Paul

Found this link for a conexant driver for another Lenovo device:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037884
Downloaded and installed it on my yoga 11s, now with 8.1 pro.    After download and install, a restart was required.  After that, the conexant HD audio and Dolby Digital Plus Home theater returned to my list of programs.  Windows Media player worked with video and audio.  Flash player worked using WatchESPN.com.  Seems to have fixed one of my 2 errors.

  • Upgrade to Windows 8.1 issues

    My computer did an automatic update (upgrade) to Windows 8.1 3 days ago. It took almost an hour for the complete upgrade. Now, I cannot access intent explorer on my desktop. When I click on the icon (top right hand side) to left click and highlight internet
    options, it is greyed out. I try manually typing in MSN.com, and nothing, only a white page. I do not like the view in Windows 8 and prefer to use my desk top, and am unable to do so. Why is this, and what can I do to change it back to the way I was using
    it 3 days ago?

    Hi,
    For this issue,since you did a update,I suggest you
    use system restore to return to the point which did
    not appear the problem.
    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC:

  • Yoga 2 Upgrade to Windows 10 - icon missing

    I have Lenovo Yoga 2 13'' laptop running Win 8.1 I had a Win 10 icon (reserver your Win 10) and.... it disappeared 4 days ago. I tried all possible scripts and tips online, here is what I've done: All tricks fromhttp://www.askvg.com/fix-get-windows-10-upgrade-app-icon-is-missing-in-taskbar/  Nothing  I read somewhere it might be because I had Win 8 and upgraded to 8.1 I do not need to reserver, want to make sure I will update when MS releases it... Any thoughts? Any ideas? 

    hi m1979,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you ensure that the KB2919355 (Windows 9.1 Update) and KB3035583  are both installed from the locations below (the latter is responsible for adding the Get Windows 10 update notification).
    If doesn't work then you can opt to go back 4 or more days ago prior to the problem using System Restore and 
    Control Panel (icon views) > Programs and Features > View installed updates
    Control Panel (icon views) > Windows Updates > View Update History
    In addition, you don't really need to reserve and you can still get Windows 10 wihout the reservation.
     From the Windows 10 Q&A:
    Can I get my free Windows 10 upgrade even if I didn’t reserve?
    Yes. The easiest way to get the free upgrade is to reserve, but you can upgrade even if you don’t reserve.
    Once Windows 10 is available, we’ll begin notifying devices that their free upgrade is available. Just open the Get Windows 10 app to schedule your upgrade. Note: Some notifications will go out as soon as Windows 10 is available; others may go out in the weeks or months following.

  • Yoga 11s touchpad cursor jumps after finger release

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my yoga 11s touchpad on windows 8.1. Everytime I use the touchpad to point at something and then release the finger, the cursor jumps away. It does not jump far but it is enough to make me have to point again. I have the newest touchpad driver from the lenovo site installed. I tried all settings of this driver but it did not help.
    Does anyone have the same problem or a solution for this problem?
    Thanks and kindly

  • Yoga 11s Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Upgrade - Power Management Compatibility Issue

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 on my Yoga 8.1 device. I followed the application removal instructions before upgrading, then reinstalled the correct drivers for 8.1. Everything works well except for the fact that I get a Windows warning that there is a Power Management Compatibility Issue with the Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller. Any idea how to fix this? All hardware in the Device Manager are working properly.
    Thanks in advance for your help. I have BIOS 7xxx.
    Regards,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have this exact same issue, but with the 8.x BIOS.
    My 11S also has issues going to sleep automatically when plugged in or on battery power, as well as staying asleep more than one second when on battery power, regardless of whether I initiate sleep manually via the menu or by closing the lid/pressing power button. I figured they could be related to this, but I'm pretty sure I had the same issues before the Windows 8.1 upgrade.

  • Yoga 11S WiFi issues

    Hi all,
    As with many I am experiencing severe Wifi issues with new Yoga 11s. I will try to explain in detail in the hope that someone who better understands how wifi really works might be able to help diagnose.
    I have a Talktalk badged Huawei HG533 router. This delivers c.15Mbs reliably all around my house (2xTVs, computers up and downstairs, 2xphones). Using Speedtest.net to capture speeds.
    With the Yoga, if I sit right next to the router (as I am now), I get 15Mbs. In other parts of the house I get just 0.5Mb, including rooms where other devices are measured at 15. I have updated drivers and upgraded to W8.1 though I experienced exactly the same problem before the upgrade.
    I have tested every room and it seems that it will either work at very close to the maximum (in a few rooms) or drops off catastrophically to 0.5mb or less. There is no in between. I never lose connection altogether. There seems no correalation between the level of signal displayed (4 or 5 bars) and the speed.The 'good' rooms are separated by fewer walls.
    I have also observed that on occasion having tested in a good room and then moving to one of the bad rooms it initially shows good performance, before seemingly recognising where it is and throttling back to unusable.
    It is as though once it gets to a certain distance/separation/signal strength it somehow 'jams' the signal.
    I really neeed to find a solution to this as 1. my office is one of the bad rooms and 2. I am often in hotels, airports etc and need reliable internet even in poor signal areas. Any help much appreciated.

    Hey everyone, I just registered here and I couldn't find a solution. Apologies if this has been covered already.
    I received the Yoga 11s i5 as part of an internship and after keeping the package under wraps for a month or two, I decided to give it a go and start using it instead of my Microsoft Surface. Everything works smooth and I love it to bits - except for the WiFi.
    I was able to connect a few times, but for the most part it just doesn't work. The WiFi icon in the bottom right corner displays the adapter icon with a little red x, and the Windows troubleshooter is unable to find a solution. I'm really not sure what the problem is because, so far, my connectivity problem is entirely random - several times, I was able to connect and use the WiFi regularly only to be greeted with the same problem next time I  start using the computer. The troubleshooter once displayed an error message amongst the lines of "The network adapter is experiencing hardware/software difficulties".
    I don't know if it is worth mentioning that I live on a college campus with a dodgy wifi connection, but every other device I ever used is working properly. Any suggestions? Only thing I did try so far is refreshing the system and reinstalling Windows but, to no avail.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Lenovo Yoga 11s SSD and RAM Upgrade - Great Results

    Picked up a Lenovo Yoga 11s from Best Buy.  I chose Best Buy for price, color, and processor.  They had a slightly better deal than Lenovo.com.  The clementine color looks great.  Quality is great.  I'm very happy with the purchase.  It has the i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD.
    I upgraded the SSD and RAM and found the upgrade relatively easy.  Here is a basic step by step and results.  (note the parts I chose increased the cost by close to $400.  I chose these parts based on quality, performance, and power usage.  There are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted an upgrade and money was not my concern.)
    Upgraded Parts
    RAM - Patriot Memory 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL11 1.35V - Purchased at Newegg, but could have saved a couple dollars on Amazon.
    I chose this part based on previous experience with Patriot and the low voltage RAM.  A lot of the RAM is higher voltage and I wanted to make sure I reduced heat and power usage.  When you look for 1.35V RAM, there are not a lot of options...
    MSata SSD Drive - Intel SSD 525 Series 240GB Drive
    Intel SSD Page
    I purchased through Newegg
    I chose the Intel drive based on previous experience with Intel.  They cost more, but I've found their performance to be good and reliability good.  There is also a good review on this drive on Tomshardware Tomshardware Intel 525 Review.  Toms review shows top performing drive and low power.  I also looked at many other manufacturers and Intel had the lower power consumption.  This means less heat and longer battery life.
    Cloning Software
    Intel provides a free cloning software from Acronis
    My Digital SSD MSata external case
    I purchased through Newegg.  
    Nice quality device.  I used this to help in cloning the OEM SSD to the new Intel drive.
    T5 Torx Screw Driver
    I purchased this from Home Depot T5 Torx Home Depot
    I read all the reviews, posts and issues around cloning the Win8 SSD drives.  Many people have/had issues.  I was prepared for problems.  Another reason I chose Intel, as they have migration software that I felt would be top notch.
    You need to have the Hardware Manual handy.  I read how to remove keyboard and top cover.  This is required to upgrade RAM and SSD.  It was very easy.  Take your time.  Note, this is very different than the Yoga 13 youtube video for part removal.  I think it's easier.  Here is the link to download manual Yoga 11s Hardware Manual.
    How to clone your SSD
    I expect if you're doing this project you can learn how to use the Intel software for cloning.  Read the web, watch their youtube video.  Read the manual...
    Remove your factory SSD and insert new Intel SSD (note, you must insert Intel drive in notebook for cloning.  Do not try and clone on the USB external drive.  Intel software will not detect drive properly).  Create a bootable version of the Intel software on a USB drive.  Install your factory OEM SSD in the external MSata SSD drive.  Go to BIOS and set boot to support legacy, no fast boot, boot to USB.  
    Boot to the Intel Acronis app on the USB drive.  Then connect your OEM SSD via second USB port.
    Then follow the wizard on Intel's software.  Cloning process took less than 5 minutes.
    Unplug your USB devices, go to BIOS and set all all your boot settings back to factory UEFI, fast boot etc.
    The PC booted to windows second try.  The first time it said it has issues and went through a process to repair.  It then said it failed.  I rebooted again and it went straight to windows.  Did all my windows updates and everything is fine. 
    Performance 
    Windows Performance Improvement
    Memory - Factory score was 5.9 - Patriot Memory is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
    Hard Drive - Factory score was 6.2 - Intel 525 Drive is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
    This pc is crazy fast booting and shutting down.  It boots in 7 seconds.  Not sure it's really faster than OEM, but I've never seen a pc boot this fast.
    Over all performance is fast.  I installed Office 2010 pro from a USB drive in under 5 minutes.  Web browsing is crazy fast.  I'm super impressed with the speed of this pc.  Much faster than I expected.
    Size, Shape, Weight, color is great.  Performance is great.  Happy with upgrades and quality of parts.  May be my best notebook purchase to date.  I don't have any battery life numbers to report yet.  Everything is new and I haven't really spent much time off the charger.
    Issues I've experienced during this upgrade of parts
    I first tried to clone the SSD drive by putting the Intel drive in the USB enclosure first.  The intel software would not work as the PC detects the external SSD drive as a SCSI drive and Intel cloning software could not identify the drive as an Intel Sata drive.  I called Intel and they had no advice or help.  I also tried a few other cloning softwares that ultimately did not work.  As a last resort I switched the drives and everything worked great.  Lesson learned, swap the drives first and use Intel software to clone.
    Factory restore - doesn't work.  Not sure why the factory restore is not working on my new Intel drive.  Windows works great!  All the partitions are there.  I suspect I messed up the OEM restore portion of the drive.  At one point I thought I had booted to the Intel drive, and tried the restore (I had about 7 failed cloning tries before the final one worked as I outlined above).  It went through the restore process and then failed.  However, what I later found was that I had actually booted to the OEM drive in the external USB case and I may have corrupted the restore functionality.
    I contacted Lenovo Support and explained I could not restore using the 1 key restore.  They walked me through some basic troubleshooting and then opted to mail me factory restore disk.  I have the disk and will keep them available for when/if I ever need to restore.
    Solved!

    I upgraded from the Yoga 13 to the 11S and am happy to report that the machines are so identical that apparently you can just yank the SSD from one and drop it in the other. I had upgraded my 13" to 240gB SSD + 8gB RAM and simply plopped the two components into the 11S and after about 30 seconds of Windows alerting me that it was 'setting up devices' the machine booted normally and has been working perfectly since!

  • Cannot install Windows 8.1 Update on Lenovo Yoga 11s

    Hi guys,
    Hope someone will be able to help me out from this never ending issue.
    I have been trying to update my Yoga 11s to Windows 8.1 for the last 2 weeks, but it just doesn't work. It kees failing when it gets to "Applying Settings" and then reboots twice and eventually rolls back to the Windows 8 installed. I have tried everything I've read on the internet from disabling my BT to installing all the latest drivers to even installing from a clean boot of Windows 8, but NOTHING works.
    Has anyone successfully made this upgrade? Any assisstance will be highly appreciated.
    BTW my laptop is installed with Windows 8 Single Language and running BIOS version 77CN20WW (v1.06)
    Thanks

    Thank you for your input.  I must say that I did have 8.1 installed and used it for about a month with no issues.  Then recently when I was installing an update for graphics I got the black screen as described.  I have since then not been able to install 8.1.  I will continue to look for a solution.  Thanks for your reply

  • Trying to create dual boot with Windows 7 on Yoga 11s

    I was trying to install Windows 2008 server (I said Windows 7 in the title because it's essentially the same) on a Yoga 11s in dual boot configuration with the factory-installed  Windows 8 upgraded to 8.1, and as expected it's a pain in the butt.
    I ran into the catch-22 that you can only boot from a USB external optical drive in legacy mode, and then Windows refuses to install on a GPT-type partition.  Dead end there.
    As plan B, I tried installing from my MSDN DVD from within Windows 8.1.  It chugged along for a while, but then hung after the second restart.  It reached a state where the machine is dual boot, and goes into Windows 8.1 OK, but 2008 server hangs on startup even in safe mode.  Probably it's a driver problem.  I downloaded all Windows 7 drivers for the Yoga 11s from the Lenovo website, and they would work fine for 2008 server if there was a way to put them in place.
    I have been through the process twice before on previous machines.  After getting the server OS to install, none of the devices work well or at all, but I could patiently install the drivers using device manager.  This is the first time where I can't get the server OS to install to a bootable condition.  Is it hopless, or might there be documentation somewhere about how I could manually place drivers in the right folders to enable the OS to start?
    Plan C might be to follow Lenovo's instructions to create a UEFI bootable USB flash drive and try to install from that.  Would that work better than installing from within Windows 8.1, or just reach the same roadblock?

    Reformat that new drive with SL DVD.
    Go into SL DVD again, go to Utility Menu and choose DU.
    Then try repairing the drive or better yet, just erase the drive (not the volume) and try again.
    There are enough changes between Tiger partition scheme and SL that you would want to. RAID arrays built with Leopard will not allow installing SL, they have to be recreated (and can then have Leopard and SL).

    hi 2jj3,
    According to this website, the ACPI\CIND0C60 is the Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Processor Participant Driver (DPTF). Have you tried running the Intel DPTF Driver for 64-bit Windows in Win7 compatibiity mode?
    The root\LenovoVhid is most likely the Lenovo Energy Management as discussed in this thread.(this is the software that controls the Function keys). You may try this driver but if it doesn't work, you may need to leave this out for now.

  • Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Can't upgrade to Windows 10 - "Something happened" error

    I've tried several times and I simply can't upgrade to Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The instalation process exists with the absurd "Something happened" error. I tried to set the Locale to en/us, and tried to install the ISO through a USB stick but no luck! Earlier I had setup my yoga 2 pro as a dual boot with both Windows 8.1 and Linux. Although I've never made any change to my OEM drives, since I went dual boot the one key recovery service also doesn't work. I still have all those OEM drives intact. When I go to the BIOS setup, I have two boot sectors, one is the original windows boot, and the other is the new linux boot; but I'm not sure it is related or not.

    Hi SteveU,
    Many things been tried (read the original post) - hybrid shutdown, intel drivers, uninstalling and installing again Lenovo Energy Managment driver (win 8.1 one), trying to use the Windows10 default driver for Energy management, shutting down with holding the shift (or alt button) can't remember now, many many things and clearly this is a Micorosft issue + Lenovo. Not enough testing down before hand, but everyone is happy at Lenovo as our money is at their bank... and have got expensive bit of kit that we shut-down holding down the button - because is just better than pressing shut-down...
    This is the second time I'm let down by Lenovo - was thinking will give them another chance but as you can see moderators viewing or post but none of them has got a solution - isn't that right Amy@Lenovo or Majestic
    Clearly Ms and Lenovo will blame each other now.
    Fed up with this...
    Windows 8.1 is the way to go, don't know why I was hoping that the latest MS updates will sort the issue out - wrong again
    At least the Mail app works fine now

  • Can't Upgrade Lenovo Yoga 11s mSATA SSD

    I recently purchased a refurbished Lenovo Yoga 11s from Tiger Direct along with an 8 GB RAM upgrade and a 480 GB Crucial mSATA SSD.  The RAM replacement was easy.  However, I have tried for three weeks to clone, reinstall, or recover my OS installation to the new SSD, and everything has failed.  I’ve done extensive research on this forum and others but can’t find a solution. 
    The 11s came with Windows 8 on a 128 GB mSATA SSD.  I updated it to 8.1 and installed a bunch of my own apps before attempting the clone.  The 480 GB Crucial SSD definitely works.  I have an external USB enclosure and when it’s inserted it reads just fine on multiple machines.  I disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and have experimented with both Legacy and UEFI boot modes.
    Here’s what I’ve tried:
    1. Cloning via Easeus Todo Backup directly through Windows 8.  The clone appeared to be successful but the new drive wouldn’t boot.  I tried boot repair using both a Lenovo and a standard Windows Recovery USB that I made before beginning all of this.  In each case Startup Repair says it can’t find the required partition.  Also, the BIOS doesn’t recognize the new SSD when I have a Recovery USB inserted.
    2. Cloning by booting directly to a Clonezilla Live USB.  Again, the clone appeared successful but after swapping the SSDs the new one wouldn’t boot, and both Recovery USBs wouldn’t work.
    3. Cloning AGAIN by booting directly to Clonezilla Live USB, this time with the new SSD attached to the mobo and the original in the USB enclosure.  In this attempt, Clonezilla only recognized the 128 GB SSD and didn’t recognize the 480 attached to the mobo. (Although I don't think I'd partitioned the new SSD in this attempt, so maybe that would change things?)
    4. Cloning via Paragon’s “Migrate OS”.  I had high hopes for this because others have reported good results.  Again, the clone appears successful but after swapping it won’t boot. And I did check the “create UEFI boot” option on Paragon.
    5. In desperation, I “borrowed” a copy of Windows 8 on a USB to see if I could do a fresh installation, since apparently you can’t just easily reinstall Win8 on an OEM machine.  I’m at the point where I’d pay for a Win8 license just to have my own copy and avoid this OEM nonsense—but I want to be sure it would work on this SSD first.  However, the copy I was using won’t install because it doesn’t recognize the new SSD.  If I put the BIOS into Legacy Boot mode, it will recognize the Win8 USB but not the new mSATA drive.  If I put it into UEFI it recognizes the mSATA drive but won’t recognize the USB.
    I’m at my wit’s end here.  Clearly other people have successfully upgraded their 11s machines (like this guy: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Lenovo-Yoga-11s-SSD-and-RAM-Upgrade-Great-Results/td-p/1195545)  Maybe the 11s motherboard won’t accept a 480 GB SSD?  Or maybe it’s just strangely incompatible with this particular model?  (This is what I’m using: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT480M500SSD3) Is there something else painfully obvious I’m missing? 
    Please help!  I love this little machine but if I can’t get the SSD upgraded it’s going to find another home.

    That's EXACTLY what it is. I originally bought an ivy bridge 11s and I went ahead and tried the new drive in it and it worked just fine. I have also been posting in another forum...here's my last post: I think I figured it out...  I have another Yoga 11s here beside me, the Ivy Bridge version; the bios in that machine sees the ssd just fine. The difference is the bios versions.  The one that won't see it is 8FCN19WW(V1.00)-the haswell 11s. The one that WILL see it is 77CN19WW(V1.05). So now I'm trying to fig out how to get that V1.00 bios updated to V1.05. That's the only thing I can think of to do. Keep you posted... So, I guess I have to choose between the haswell processor or larger ssd. I can always just switch the gray covers for the orange cause I'm liking the orange WAY better. TBH, I'm not really seeing a big diff between the ivy bridge and haswell anyway...  I only got about 4.5 hrs battery life, which is what I got with the IB. There was also supposed to be a better wireless card but the reception and speed is the same as well. I may just end up keeping the Ivy Bridge because of the better bios. There is absolutely no way to update the bios in either of these machines so we're basically just stuck with what we get. If you DO like the 11s as much as I do, you can always find an Ivy Bridge model and is should work just fine for you. The Micro Center here in town is selling IB refurbs for $499. Probably the same price online. Write more later...

  • Yoga 2 13 laptop - Windows 10 issues

    I have upgraded to windows 10 and after a few rookie win 10 issues and drivers problems I have 1 last issue to solve. same as listed up this topichttps://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-10/Yoga-2-13-laptop-Windows-10-issues/td-p/2128415 - Shutdown / standby bug: computer hangs often when trying to shutdown or enter standby mode -the display goes black, but the Windows touchkey below the screen still gives vibration feedback, power light stays on and fans keep spinning loud. The solution then is to hold the power button pressed for a long time to force shutdown or wait until the battery depletes. This is noticable when I close the lid and open it later. Ive tried changing "lid close" settings to hibanate etc but it still does the same thing.

    I upgrated to Windows 10 on July 31st with my Yoga 2 13 and I only ran into two major issue and a minor issue.
    Side note: my Windows logo button on the Bezel (vibrates when you touch it and then brings up the app tiles screen) hasn't worked for some time and still doesn't work after the upgrade - anyone know if there's a software fix, driver location etc?
    Major issue 1: No internet connectivity!
    - All network devices show up as working properly and all drivers upto date.
    - No possibility for network connection not even through bluetooth sharing via mobile phone.
    I discovered one post suggesting removing all Cisco VPN connections before upgrading as removal after upgrade didn't resolve the issue.
    Fix:
    If after upgrading you have no internet connectivity, revert back to your previous windows version, uninstall all Cisco and other VPN clients then reinstall windows 10. Internet connections should work now.
    Major issue 2: I am still having issues with Cisco based VPN's not staying connected. Haven't yet investigated a fix at the moment, just dealing with it.
    Admin Edit - Microsoft released a support tip related to the VPN / Wifi issue here -  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3084164
    Minor issue:
    - Windows 10 doesn't recognize any of the transitional modes of the yoga (as in Lenovo transitions) resulting in the keyboard and mouse being disabled only in full tablet mode. Using Window's Tablet mode button in the action center doesn't disable these inputs either. Until Lenovo comes up with an update to Transitions this could be a serious annoyance for some folks.
    Minus these annoyances the move to windows 10 hasn't been too awful. Granted I haven't had much of an opportunity to try all the software I rely on as of yet, but in the next couple weeks I'm sure I'll discover several other hicups.
