I'm dealing with a second-generation X1 Carbon, (20A8) fresh off the eBay boat. Loaded up Windows, installed Lenovo System Update, and let it (and Windows) begin the process of installing drivers and patches. After reaching the home stretch, I opted to install the newest version of the motherboard f...

This has been an issue for a while now, and on previous builds of Windows as well. Pretty much every time I log in, the setting that specifies the number of lines to scroll always resets back to 1. I usually set it to 4 or 5 for best results when scrolling with the TrackPoint. I've tried SysInternal...

after doing some testing I'm pretty sure that it's the 65w ac adaptor being maxed out so i ordered a 90w one that should work better. plus a USB hub so i can plug everything in.

Keep us posted. I'm curious to find out if the glitches go away when using the 90watt adapter.

I can say from experience that the maximum on the 4th generation X1 Carbon is 3 monitors, however, one of those monitors has to be the built-in display. According to Intel's official support bulletin , you could also probably get 3 independent external displays going, (without the laptop screen) but...

oh, ok. You're referring to the Gen. 4 X1 Carbon [2016]. That's a different model than the X1 Tablet, which is a separate series, but I am interested in that as well. You must be talking about the 1440p screen. 2560x1440. I am interested in that. Can you comfortably view two Word documents side-by-...

Hi SurrealMustard, The latest iteration of the X1 Carbon Tablet came out around July, if I am not mistaken. That is said to be the 3rd generation (2018). https://www.neowin.net/news/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-tablet-review-its-way-better-than-a-surface-pro/ Is there a newer version than that? I have not he...

I can't speak for the 3rd generation, but the fourth is more powerful in every way than the base Sandy Bridge chipset in the X230 series. Heck, it even manages to match my Dell Precision M6400, (primary/daily) and that thing has a big dedicated GPU. In short, performance has been nothing short of as...

You might actually have a different issue then because we're hearing the same problem always, regardless of network activity or connectivity. I noticed exactly same problem some time ago. Noise appears at volume about 20...36%, very noticeable when listening to piano or ambient music. Maybe I haven...

I noticed this at times in Windows 10, no idea what causes it or how to fix. It does what it wants. You can always just switch to the Windows Classic cursor which is what I use. Thanks to this thread, we know exactly what causes it, which is first-use of the scroll button for the Trackpoint. The go...

Just to add another data point to this, I found that this seems to affect newer drivers as well. Driver version 19.3.4.214 on the fourth-generation X1 Carbon is doing the same exact thing, although it's not as big of a bother on there because it actually has a competent trackpad, reducing/eliminatin...

1) There was a guy at the Lenovo forums who said he's successfully installed both the Lenovo/Thinkpad 18260 card and its corresponding antennae, so WiGig worked for him. Just look for "TripleX1" posting dated 20-Oct-2016: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Yoga...

I've been trying out the fourth-generation X1 Carbon lately and saw that models with the tri-band 18260 Intel card support the wireless dock protocol "WiGig." The unit I'm using has only the dual-band, and I wouldn't mind being able to use a dock station, so I was pricing out the options. What I fou...

I've been working with this new ThinkPad X230 and am pretty happy with where everything is at now. Unfortunately, I've encountered a weird bug where any of Windows's mouse pointers that should be animated (namely the "busy" and "working in background") are simply not animated. If I go into the point...

... Windows XP will be around for years to come, whether people want to accept it or not. :lol: Microsoft will finally lift their blessing for the last supported version of XP next April. That'll be a historic milestone. What other mainstream technology product has been supported this well by its O...

I've been comparing it with the X200, and it does feel different somehow, but I can't exactly pinpoint how. I think that it's got to be the buttons; they do feel more concise on the X200. I do feel even more confident with it now, however, having switched caps from "soft rim" to "soft dome." I was ...

Windows. Never had any issues with the Trackpoint on my work Windows machine, works just like any other Thinkpad. But i disable the trackpad on every one i have. I've been comparing it with the X200, and it does feel different somehow, but I can't exactly pinpoint how. I think that it's got to be t...

Well, I have an X230T arriving tomorrow so hopefully I'm not too turned off by the bulk of it. Of course if I am, I'm sure I can sell it and there's plenty of X230's (non-tablet) out there. :) Not necessarily with acceptable screens, but yes, there are plenty. SurrealMustard, Windows or Linux? Wind...

I followed almost the same journey. Firefox "originalist" since 2008, used it well past the time when things went off the rails until sometime around 2014, when I switched to Pale Moon. At the time, it was modern, fast, and feature-rich, especially when compared with its mainstream rivals. It was gr...

Well, I pulled the trigger on an X230 since writing that post and have had mixed feelings; mostly positive. Performance, battery life, the keyboard, the (IPS) screen, and design/portability are all top-notch, but the trackpad lives up to its notoriety for being bad (we're talking 50-60% as efficient...

Not sure where you found one that's "slow and sluggish." The X230 I picked up is far too touchy with the standard driver for Windows 10. I had to actually install the old driver, turn the sensitivity down to its second-lowest configuration, record the registry setting , (I found 7 to be best, while ...

So I recently sold my X230 (non-tablet) and have been trying to find a replacement. I really liked the size and performance of the X230 but really wanted to get a tablet format device (mainly for when laying in bed surfing the web, watching media while riding the bus, etc.) I recently picked up a Y...

This forum should not be used to spread misinformation. Most Windows 10 machines shut down just fine. This machine won't stop the moon light flashing after hibernation, although it does, in fact, hibernate. The behavior is consistent with a temporarily-installed Win 8.1. It's a hardware issue of so...

I figured I could talk about this here since this is my internet thread. As normal my internet is junk but mange to check email, watch youtube videos and buy stuff online. And if need to download a 40GB game off steam even though I bought disc it takes a full 3-4 days to download that size. But fro...

Old post, but it help me greatly. Thanks!! For the double OSD. There is a little app to remove the Windows 10 one: http://wordpress.venturi.de/?p=1#more-1 Use HideVolumeOSD 1.2. Edit: HideVolumeOSD gave some issues at boot. Just run C:\Program Files (x86)\HideVolumeOSD\HideVolumeOSD.exe in Windows ...

I don't think that the Power Manager utility has anything to do with it on this machine. Uninstalled 6.68.10 (which works just fine on our other T43, for the record) and loaded 6.68.12, but the computer still craps up after a while. Guess this particular laptop just doesn't like Windows. We might ju...

I'd say you are using the wrong version of power manager. The power manager that's Lenovo branded is guaranteed to cause this problem for some reason and this usually occurs when the fan speed changes What exactly makes it the wrong version? It was the recommended release for this computer from the...

I still haven't had a chance to try remote desktop while the system is stuck in "limbo," but I did get a chance to do some more experimentation with the computer today. In the morning, I started a YouTube video fullscreen on loop and came back a couple hours later to find the everything completely f...

I figured it out! Turns out that it was as easy as connecting the monitor to the other DVi port ("video 2") on the dock. Now it comes up properly every time.

Okay, this isn't actually a ThinkPad question specifically, but I know we've got a lot of knowledgeable Windows folks here, and the Dell Precision in question is somewhat similar to a comparably-sized ThinkPad :wink: . Anyway, here's the issue. The laptop is in a dock, which is connected to a DVi mo...

No guarantee, but try installing an older version of Hotkey Features. Try version 3.81. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=701309#p701309 I second this /\ It stumps me every time that the latest version on the official support page is a broken version, but 3.81 is most definitely the functi...
