Re: T490: Bluetooth Turned Off message, and "Device does not have Bluetooth"
I have a T490 although I rarely use Bluetooth. Does it show up in Device Manager? Maybe try reinstalling the driver :arrow: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds506566-intel-bluetooth-driver-for-windows-10-version-1803-or-later-thinkpad-p43s-p53s-t490-t590 https://i.imgur.com/ONCTwbv.jpeg

Re: Lenovo warns of Windows 10 2004 crashing ThinkPad laptops
Thanks for posting that info. I had recently updated my T490 to Version 2004 but these latest updates hadn't been downloaded yet. That gave me time yesterday to check the Enhanced Windows Biometric Security option in the BIOS. It was already set to OFF. Still, I've paused updates to give me time to ...

Re: Weird Search Problem
I had a similar sounding problem several years ago when I first got my Win7 x64 T410. After weeks of troubleshooting, it turned out to be a conflict with my antivirus software. If I remember correctly (5+ years ago) just turning off my a/v didn't help. I had to actually uninstall it to prove it was ...

Re: eSATA power on both T410 and T420.
When I got an eSATA drive for my T410 years ago, I had to buy a "Y" cable to pick up power from the USB port on the right side of the machine. Clunky, but it works.

I'm just not sure if that's all I need to do. I'm waiting for the next release of Win7 updates from MS to see if I get the update notification balloon.

Re: How To Get More V Ram Memory From HD Graphics On A T410?
But other question (for me) - what is "Dedicated Video Memory"? AFAIK all intel GPU use system memory except Iris Pro. You are correct. On these systems "Dedicated Video Memory" is a specific amount of system memory that is reserved for video. On my T410 64MB is reserved out of 8GB system memory. h...

Re: How To Get More V Ram Memory From HD Graphics On A T410?
More likely your performance issues are just a slow GPU rather than graphics memory. I especially doubt very much you need a lot of that for video playback. Even if you could have 2+ GB of dedicated memory on an Intel HD (Gen 1) it would probably have negligible impact. GPU performance has been inc...
