Windows 10: Lenovo Vantage app bug turns display red in Windows 10 v1903

Some outlets are reporting that Windows 10 KB4512941, which is an optional update that was shipped on August 17, also causes a red screen on some PCs. However, the problem appears to be associated with the Lenovo Vantage app on PCs with any version of Windows 10 May 2019 Update installed, and not the particular KB4512941 patch.

The problem has been reported by multiple users on the Lenovo forum (1, 2,) in the past few months. According to users, the mysterious bug causes a red or orange tint when taking screenshots on Lenovo devices.

This behaviour is not linked with old graphics drivers and it only affects devices with Lenovo Vantage app. Apparently, there are compatibility issues between Windows 10 May 2019 Update and Lenovo Vantage app that still to be ironed out.

Lenovo Vantage is an app created specifically for PCs running Windows 10 and it allows power users to personalize settings, update drivers, improve performance and WiFi security.

Fortunately, there are ways to fix the problem. If you find yourself affected by this, simply click on the ‘Reset’ button in the Vantage app under the Night Light section. Or you can uninstall the app and reboot your PC, and the red or orange tint would go away. You can also try updating the app from the Microsoft Store as it could also resolve the problem.

Microsoft and Lenovo are yet to acknowledge the bug.

Lenovo Ready to Launch Windows 10 Devices

Lenovo today announced it will begin shipping a wide selection of products loaded with Windows 10 starting July 29. Lenovo has an extensive list of products eligible for this upgrade including popular models like the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA 500. Lenovo customers can check here for their product's eligibility.

Lenovo has worked with Microsoft Corp. to make the process of upgrading simple, for people with qualified Lenovo PC running Windows 7 SP1 or 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. Starting on July 29, the updates will roll out. If a user has reserved a copy of Windows 10, he/she will be notified once the compatibility process confirms that the user will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on their system.





Lenovo Apps Enhance Windows 10 Experience
To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo-written applications. The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the device. As a "smart" device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. For example, when in tablet mode, the product will customize its display and other settings based on its orientation versus in traditional laptop mode. Alternatively, the device's usage will also alter its settings, for example when watching a movie versus reading an e-book. With SHAREit, customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted to text.

As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo's groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With REACHit, Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users to find their content such as emails, photos and videos in ways they never thought possible. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless, intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual understanding.

"With Windows 10, computing gets more personal, productive and connected," said Tom Shell, senior vice president, PC Business Group, Lenovo. "Across our entire PC product line, from the office to the home, we've optimized our Lenovo devices to give customers a great computing experience while giving them enhanced search tools like Cortana with REACHit."
