Yoga S1 Windows 7 SCCM

We are currently using SCCM 2007 with all the latest updates and have been using this to image all our desktop and laptops to Windows 7 now without issue.
This is the first laptop we have gotten that has dual hard drives and is causing us issues.
It has a SSD 16GB and a SATA 500GB drive.
The problem is that my OSD TS keep installing the OS onto the 16GB SSD drive.
When I run Diskpart, it shows the SSD is disk 1 and SATA is disk 0.
I set the TS to install the OS onto Disk 0 but it still installs onto the SSD drive.
Anyone have any ideas?

When you have two disks in a system, you really cannot rely on the disk number to target the OS deployment. This is due to the way WinPE enumerates the disks. The physical disks will not always get the same number. You may boot into WinPE and diskpart will label one as 0 and the other as 1; and then on the next boot into WinPE it will be reversed.
What most people have success with is incorporating a diskpart clean action on all drives at the beginning of the task sequence. This seems to force the scripts down a path of selecting the largest physical disk to install the OS on instead of picking the first available volume that is large enough to install the OS on.
You can find numerous examples on the internet of incorporating a diskpart script in your task sequence.

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.

Yoga 13, Windows 8 Pro, Single-Click sometimes results in Double-Click

I'm using a brand new Yoga 13 (Window 8 Pro). Clicking on the touchpad (not the touch screen) sometimes has issues. Specifically, every once in a while, a single-click on the touchpad will result in double-click behavior.
I'm not referring to tapping, but rather physical clicking (press, depress touchpad on the lower left).
I disabled tap-to-click in case it was registering the tap, and then the click. That didn't resolve the issue.
I also increased the speed required (within Windows) for a double-click to the fastest (least time between clicks) possible. That also didn't resolve the issue.
It really seems like the touchpad, every once in a while, registers a double-click, like some sort of physical defect in the touchpad that presses, depresses, presses depresses immediately.
Ideas?

I'm running Windows 8 (Not Pro) on a brand new Yoga 13 and am experiencing the same probem. It doesnt happen all the time but just enough to be really annoying. It seems like if I try right clicking I can get it to stop.

Yoga 11 (Windows RT) - worth the discounted price?

As the title indicates, I'm curious as to whether the discounted Yoga 11 price is worth it ($299 + tax). I'm currently looking for a netbook-like companion to take with me when I go to class or work. I'm currently deciding between this and the Dell Inspiron 11 3000. The Asus T100 is a bit too small for my liking, and has some quality control issues. Chromebooks are ruled out largely due to the lack of editing PDF support (there are some apps, but they mostly are terrible).
While I like the form factor and battery life, I'm skeptical of the Tegra 3 processor. That's about 2 years old now, and I've been hearing that the Yoga 11 (and Surface RT first gen) are both pretty laggy when it comes to typing in Microsoft Word and using other apps in general. Have these issues been fixed with updates (particularly, the 8.1 update recently released)? Or would people suggest passing on the Yoga and going for something that's full windows?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I bought a Yoga 11 recently, at the $299 price, and although I have some quibbles, I'm generally very pleased and would recommend it, especially at this price.
Windows 8.1 RT has a very snappy interface, even with the Tegra 3 cpu, and I've never noticed any lag switching between programs, and from the desktop to metro interface. I've also found Word performs very well, along with the rest of Office. I just gave a presentation at a panel this weekend and everyone in my group loaded their powerpoints on my Yoga 11, most of them created on Macs. Everything went fluidly.
Where you notice the CPU is in loading programs, and downloading/installing software. Programs like Word take an extra 2-3 seconds beyond what I'm used to from my Atom netbook (which also uses an SSD). I suspect the I/O to the drive isn't that fast, along with the processor. My wife has a Nexus 7 with the same processor, however, and it seems to perform better on the Yoga in Windows 8.1. I'm an Android person, but I really wanted a fully functional version of Office for my portable, along with great battery life -- this thing fits the bill, even better than the 11S, which has around half the battery life.
I don't mind being stuck with RT, though it still has few apps, since I'm using this device mostly for tablet-style media consumption, and occasional Office work. It's perfect for that. The thing about it is that the build quality is clearly that of a much more expensive machine. So even though it's got this tablet processor (which, again, is fine, just a bit slow), the screen, keyboard, fit and finish are that of a premium $700 machine, which was their original price point.
Of course it depends on your needs, but for me, this device is great. Ideal travel companion too, the only exception is that it won't recognize ethernet dongles, so you can't use wired internet at all. Windows 8.1 prevents even the jailbreak that allowed people to load the drivers before. Really stupid move on Microsoft's part, but then they're not the most brilliant company.

Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
INITIAL CLEANUP
Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port).
Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
(Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!!
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
Run Windows Update.
You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
I installed the following in that order:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274.
Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.

Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.

Yoga 11 Windows RT - "Repartition the drive" Problem

Hey all,
I updated my Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 (without making a recovery usb) to windows rt 8.1 preview & as almost everyone is getting the activation issue on tablets, same issue came on mine. so i tried to downgrade from RT 8.1 to RT 8 (which i have already done on one windows surface pro successfully). during the process i accidentally "Repartition the drive". windows was downgrade to RT 8 and running smoothly but half of the drivers were not installed (including Wifi).
In disk management i can see four partitions:
350mb Healthy (Recovery Partition), 200mb Healthy (EFI System Partition), Windows (C: ) 54.06 GB NTFS, 3.52 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
Only windows (c: ) partition is accessible and rest of them are inaccessible, hidden & showing only in disk management.
Is there a way to fix this problem. i.e undo repartition the drive or accessing the recovery partition or Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 recovery image
Thanks

Yoga S1 Windows 8.1 Activation Disabled and poor (or no support from Lenovo at all).

Dear Lenovo Friends,
I've purchased Thinkpad Yoga S1 with Windows 8.1 onboard.
I've had an OS problem that leaded me to order Recovery DVDs via Lenovo Thinkpad Support in Poland (thanks, got disc set in 7 days).
After reinstallation the WIndows 8.1 OS keeps saying my licence code embedded into BIOS is invalid and I can no longer activate the system. See the event log for sample try and fail on activation my system, please.

I've contacted the Lenovo Support in Poland and they tend to tell that this is because Microsoft has invalidated my codes for unknown reason. Contacting Microsoft they told me that it its vendor's (Lenovo) problem and they are not responsible - shall I obtain new licence key from Lenovo. The Polish Thinkpad support is working on the problem since January the 9th, with no success.
The Windows grace period is already over and I cannot use my ultrabook now without activating the licence.
Is this the famous Thinkpad support quality? I already own 4 Thinkpads and sorry gyus but I'm considering swithing to some other vendor.
When I called them, the solution provided by the Thinkpad support was... "would you please reainstall the OS once more to get another grace period?" I was thinking it was a kind of joke, but it wasn't... Asking for the responsibility of the Lenovo for the Windows OS they provided I was told that Lenovo is not responsible and I was given the advice to buy the hardware with no OS next time, have box licence from Microsoft separatelly.
I'm really disappointed. This is my last Thinkpad I believe. It seems even having the warranty it is not enoug to get support from Lenovo - I'm on my own...

[FIX] Yoga 13 Windows 8.1 Touchpad and Pixelated Windows.

Hello everybody! This would be my first post in this forum.
I thought that I had to share this since I wasn't able to find a fix for the Touchpad. And since I was also able to solve the pixelated windows issue, I thought I might want to share it.
[ISSUES]
1. Touchpad multi gestures not working and slow move speed.
The first thing that I realised after booting up my Yoga after the Windows 8.1 update was that the cursor was moving rather slow. I tried meddling with the pointer speed in the mouse options under Control Panel and it didn't seem to work.
Started Googling and was figured that by installing the Synaptics Drivers, it would solve the problem. Unfortunately, nothing changed. Since I know that it is driver related, I got to work and remembered some simple steps to update hardware drivers. Let's get started!
Steps:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Go to Device Manager. You should see a long list of hardware that your system is supporting.
3. Find "Mice and other pointing devices". Click the arrow to expand the drop down list.
4. You should see "PS/2 Mouse" or something like that. (I have already updated it and it no longer displays that name)
5. Right click the "PS/2 Mouse" and click "Update Driver Software".
Make sure you are connected to the internet and let it install the drivers. The cursor speed and touchpad multi gestures will go back to normal!!
2. Pixelated Windows.
This would be the second thing that I noticed when I opened my Chrome browser. The words were very pixelated. Initially, I suspected the screen resolution, but it wasn't the case. However, I was close. After some Googling, it had to do with the Display.
Steps:
1. Right click on your Desktop.
2. Click "Screen Resolution". You should see the options to Change your display.
3. There should be 3 options that are highlighted in BLUE. Select "Make text and other items larger or smaller".
4. Under "Change the size of all items", select "Smaller - 100%".
5. Check "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays"
6. Apply
And that should solve both issues. So far, I have only encountered these two issues. If I were to find out more, I would certainly add them to this thread.
Cheers everyone!

Yoga 13, Windows 8.1, invisible keyboard presses

I have a very serious and strange issue with my PC that is preventing me from doing my work.
My PC is randomly closing windows all by itself. I will be doing my work and then all of a sudden, the window in which I am working in closes. Its like an invisible hand is pressing keys on my keyboard. Some other behavior could only be caused by holding a key down on the keyboard (such as the up key when it is continuously scrolling up through a menu). At some of the worst parts is that the computer to shutdown or reboot by itself. Another issue is that the trackpad will randomly stop responding. Usually I can get response back if I press the button on my laptop that toggles the enable/disable state of the trackpad. So I assume that somehow without me physically pressing this key, it is being pressed.
These issues have started happening a couple of days ago. The SSD upgrade was the last thing I did to it and that was at least 2 months ago. (see below)
I first I thought something with my RAM might be wrong. I downloaded Ultimate Boot CD, installed it onto a USB drive and ran the MemTest86+ test. No errors were detected. (I stopped it after an hour of running) (Screenshot) I also ran the Windows version of the memory test and no errors again.
I checked the Windows logs to check for anything strange. There was nothing unusual in the System logs but the Application logs has some stuff that might be of use. I'm not sure exactly what its saying but here is the logs under suspicion: public dropbox link
While writing this post my Google chrome window closed completely. Luckily I copied this post bc I knew it was going to happen. Then while making a file to save what I copied, the windows explorer window closed on me. AND THEN THIS HAPPENS: video I HAVE PROJECTS DUE AND I NEED TO USE THIS LAPTOP.
Additional information:
Lenovo Yoga 13 inch Computer
Windows 8.1
Owned laptop for 1 year and 2 months
Changes from stock:
Upgraded RAM from 4GB to 8GB
Added a second SSD
(To do these upgrades it requires you to remove the keyboard.)
Upgraded from Window 8 to Windows 8.1
Questions:
What do you guys think is wrong with my PC? Is it possessed by the devil?
What can I do to fix it? I can run any other tests available on the UBCD easily.
Is there a way to monitor what keys are currently being pressed (as an overlay of my other windows)?
Is this an issue with the physical keyboard? (visually I cannot notice anything wrong)

My problem was fixed by disabling the RunSwUSB service.
The jerkyness seems to be a by-product of another problem, the flickering of the mouse cursor every 2 seconds, which it was suggested was introduced by the Realtek Wireless LAN & Bluetooth Driver version 1.04.0213 dated Jun 6, 2013. This update included a logging utility that runs every 2 seconds, recording data to C:\Windows\runSW.log (the file on my PC was 117MB!!! so I recommend deleting the file). lmader started a post I have been compiling a list of fixes for the Yoga 13 here... with a link to instructions to fix a number of problems, #2 is a fix to Mouse cursor flickers after latest network driver update, that details how to disable RunSWUSB service.
Kudos to Imader!

Yoga 13 - Windows 8 update always fails

Hi I have a Yoga 13 with Windows 8 64 bit.
I just recently recieved the machine back from repair where they replaced the keyboard and reinstalled the OS after a problem occured with windows update.
The orginial problem:
After completing windows update nov 8 i recieved an error DPC_Watchdog_Violation. The system restarted and loaded the Novo Button Recovery and they keyboard does not work.
The technition said they attempted to flash the Bios but was unable to due to Intel Anti-Theft 4.0 blocking update. A program which i did not install on the machine. The tech did not mention if the program was removed, but comparing the bios it appears that they did not update as it registers as 66CN54WW, the latest being 66CN55WW.
Same Problem:
After recieving the machine, completed windows install and updated the system the same error DPC_Watchdog_Violation occured. Then the system booted into Novo Button Recovery and the keyboard does not work.
Please help, i am afraid if i send the system back in they will not resolve the problem.

The tip I used to solve this problem was found here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/i-cannot-install-windows-u...
Basically, uncheck all non-MS / Intel services, reboot your machine, and then try windows update. Re-enable the services after the update is successful.
good luck!

How to launch IE window via SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
we need to open / launch Internet Explorer windows at a specific time everyday on the computers of a specific collection.
How it could be achieved? Is this possible via SCCM? or it could be done via GP? What is recommended? Or with MS Orch?
Please assist.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

You could do this with ConfigMgr ...
You can launch IE like this %programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.cnn.com
Just create a batch file with all pages you'd like to open and deploy it with ConfigMgr.
If timing is an issue ... you'd probably be better of with a scheduled task (which you can also implement using ConfigMgr).

Windows 7 & SCCM without DHCP

We are discussing the merits of moving forward with a Windows 7 rollout using SCCM 2007 and static IP addressing (no DHCP). Our environment is about 3500 workstations running XP and SCCM 2007 SP2. We intend to implement DHCP but don't have a target date.
We understand DHCPis required for zero touch OS deployment.
Would appreciate any MVP comments/opinions on how far the project might be able to proceed without DHCP and whether Microsoft tools can be installed (with limited functionality) like MS Application Compatability Toolkit, MS OFfice Environment Assessment
Tool, MS OFfice Migaration Planning Manager

Nothing actually requires DHCP and you will have no issues with any tools without it.
The only reason OSD is best with DHCP is two-fold:
- How else are you going to assign IP Addresses to the new systems? Doing anything manual defeats the purpose of having an
automated deployment system.
- PXE requires DHCP. There is no wiggle room on this one. PXE, as an industry/international standard, requires this -- this has nothing to do with Microsoft so please don't blame them. In lieu of PXE, you can use boot media, but PXE just makes the process
smoother.

TP Yoga 15 - Windows: Keyboard response too slow after coming back from hibernation

I've got the same issue as outlined in this thread for a Y50 - there seems to be a BIOS update to solve it, but what about TP Yoga 15? Quote:Simply put, In keyboard properties , the Repeat delay is default at maximum (eg, holding down a keyboard button and how fast it generates the key strokes). When the system is put in hiberanation, then turned on again to come back, the Repeat delay some how gets decreased to about 2/3 of what it originally is. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Re-Y50-Windows-8-Keyboard-response-too-slow-after-coming-back/td-p/1676309/page/1

hi guys,
Can you please provide also these additional information:
(this is to check if the issue is isolated to a certain model number)
Model Number (eg. 59-xxxxxx):
Place of Purchase (eg. Amazon, Bestbuy, etc.):
In addition, the solution from this thread seems to be a good workaround (the app is for Win7 but may also work for Win8.1)
Regards
