Windows 10: Best Way to Start Fresh: 2022 Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH7H

So I got my Legion 5 in 2023, and over time I have made changes to it, and I want to start over. what would be the best way to do it? I have added a secondary 2 TB SSD with my Steam games which I don't want to erase, but I want to do a Windows reset. If I were to get it from Lenovo, delete the little bloatware there is, and then re-install or make the improvements which helped the laptop, what else would I need to do?Upgradeshysical:- 2TB secondary Crucial SSD- 5600Mhz 32gb Crucial ram/memory upgrade kit 2x16gb- Re-pasted CPU + GPUSoftware:- Windows gaming settings- GeForce Now improvement

No suggestions but want to say nice laptop. They also seem to be popular being they're currently unavailable

That said my only suggestion would be to take time to learn the laptop yourself.

Keyboard on Lenovo legion 5 won’t work

Hi Callum,
I'm having the same problem on my Lenovo Legion 5 (also started around November, but disappeared for a short while, after I connected external keyboard. Now's back).

I would say it's the firmware issue, only last firmware upgrade was around 2022.

Did you manage to make it work?

 

Lenovo Legion 5 wakes from Sleep even after disabling waking

My Lenovo Legion 5 (82AU00BVUS) keeps waking from sleep, even though I've taken all sorts of steps to prevent it. WinVer: 20H2 (19042.867)

System bios info:
SMBIOSBIOSVersion
EFCN38WW

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Disable wake timers

I completely disabled wake timers in Power Options:





2. Checked wake_armed devices

I checked which devices are "wake_armed" in powercfg. Armed devices include the keyboard, and the ethernet port of an external dock, which is strange because when I look in device manager at that ethernet port, the enable wake is disabled, so something isn't adding up right.





3. Check Device Manager

In Device Manager, I checked on the eXtensible Host Controller that you see mentioned above as the cause of the last wake event. There's only one such controller:





And the device properties:





As you can see, according to device manager properties, the device isn't allowed to wake up the computer - and yet it did.

And remember how it said that the Plugable ethernet was wake_armed? Well check this out:





4. Check Event Viewer

Event viewer confirms the eXtensible host controller as the cause of the wake event:

The system has returned from a low power state.

Wake Time: ‎2021‎-‎03‎-‎25T22:46:01.919720100Z

Wake Source: Device -Intel(R) USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.10 (Microsoft)
Summary

1. In power settings, wake from sleep is disabled entirely.
2. The system is being woke by a device that, in device manager, shows isn't even allowed to wake up the computer.
3. Another device (plugable ethernet) shows in powercfg that it is wake_armed, even though its power configuration in device manager says the opposite.

Something crazy is going on here. How do I stop this computer from waking up?
