Hello! I play a lot of PC games, listen to music, and do plenty of other things that require me listening to audio. I have a steelseries arctis 7 wireless headset, and while I like them (especially the wireless factor and built-in mic), I can't help but think that there is a way better...

Hello! I did bring my laptop into a certified Lenovo repair center, and they did a battery gauge reset, which helped the problem about halfway. Apparently the battery and Windows were not detecting the same level of charge between the two, so when Windows thought the battery was fully charged...

I do appreciate that you're willing to upload that stuff, but I honestly don't know enough about those things to implement their use, nor do I know how to tell if it is safe in general. I will look into how to look into the click to run and example config files, and I will go from there. Thank...

I have a Windows 10 laptop with Microsoft Office 365 installed on it. I don't use the regular One Drive, nor do I use One Drive for Business, and One Drive for Business tends to run in the background on my laptop. I need to go into the system tray and right click and hit exit to get it to...

I have office 365 and it does not contain either of those. If this is a project for school, I recommend checking to see if your school has a web store of some sort. Some colleges and universities have these, and in them you can get software for free or deeply discounted.

Okay, thank you for all the help on this topic. I'll try checking on the processes every so often, and see if that yields anything. If not, I might just have to contact Lenovo and see if there is anything they can do under the warranty I currently have. It seems like we've tried most of the...

I got that updated, and then I ran a hardware scan through the Lenovo Companion app, to check to make sure my hardware components are working properly. It says that all of the components check out and are working properly. I wonder if maybe there's some program somewhere on the laptop that is...

Okay, would you say this is something I should get then? If it is, what is the safest way to go about doing a BIOS update? It's currently under warranty, so if it screws up I can get it fixed, but I'd rather not have that happen.

Yes, I was just looking at the newest update, however on the laptop I have the BIOS version that preceded this most recent one.

Okay, that makes sense. I have had a BIOS update fail to flash on a desktop, which is where my knowledge of why not to do the BIOS updates if not needed comes from. For my model of laptop, it says that the changes made in this update are the following: [Important Updates] Nothing [New...

I understand it now, thank you for explaining that. I would say that I typically get around 5 hours, give or take a little bit, depending on what exactly I'm doing. I have the lenovo companion app, and it says there is a BIOS update, and they do not recommend it or say it is optional, they...

I've been trying to pay attention to the battery percentage and time left, as well as what my laptop is doing and what task manager says. I don't really notice anything out of the ordinary in task manager, but then again, I'm not quite sure what would be a red flag in task manager (I don't know...

I do not regularly have any external devices plugged in, unless it is a flash drive (occasionally). I'll start checking task manager when the fans spin up. I have noticed them spinning up at times where I've thought that they shouldn't really need to be going. I'll use it later today to test...

Design Capacity: 42,0140 mWh Full Charge Capacity: 41,060 mWh Cycle Count: 11 I don't really understand what the cycle count is, but the full charge capacity seems like it is where it would be expected.

The battery report command for cmd worked, and at the very end of the report, it estimates that based on usage, my battery life is 5 hours and 25 minutes or so. So not bad necessarily, but I feel like it should be longer if I'm only watching videos or typing and such, nothing too taxing. If I...
