Windows 10: Lenovo Ideapad 300 won't start up fully after ending something on Task Manager

My son had 2 browsers open, and task manager. There were 7 tabs open on one browser and 1 tab on the other. He clicked on "end task" in Task Manager for something called "Control [unknown word - possibly Panel?]" he only saw it for a brief moment. Now the laptop takes ages to start, then shows the pre-login screen, then after pressing the space bar the login screen blurs, it then takes ages to bring back the pre-login screen, repeats this process then eventually the login screen appears. Once the login details are entered, the screen goes blank but not completely black. There are still noises from the laptop. We've tried unplugging, restarting etc. but still can't get beyond this blank screen. My son doesn't know what has happened. Can anyone help please?

Lenovo Ideapad 300 Battery Issue

Hey guys,

I still have my Lenovo Ideapad 300 laptop 22 days internation warranty remaining. Battery is dead after every 1 hour or 1 hour 20 mins instead of giving 3 hours as before. What should be the issue ? I tried to install Energy Manager to calibrate the battery but its not installing.

Any idea how to fix it ?

Regards.

Go to Settings> select System> select Battery> and make your adjustments there:




You can also look at drainage usage by app on the same screen or disable all apps from running in the background: https://www.howtogeek.com/241752/how...he-background/

Or, switch your power plan to "power saver" and it will optimize your battery performance automatically:




Hope this helps,

Good luck,

 

scanning to a Lenovo Ideapad 300

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 300 laptop. I also have a Dell monochrome laser MFP printer. I have discovered that, while I can print, I cannot scan. Apparently, the issue is Windows 10 compatibility. I keep seeing in different places that I can download the
Microsoft Scan. Is this available? I am running on OS 10. Do I need a specific driver?

Any help would be wonderful.
