Windows 10: Windows crashes when X1 Gen 2 Yoga laptop lid is closed

Hello,

Starting about 2 days ago when I close the lid on my Lenovo X1 Yoga laptop, windows crashes and I get a DPC_Watchdog_Violation error. I'm running Windows 10 and I reinstalled the operating system yesterday in an attempt to fix this. It didn't work.


I read that someone else had the same problem yesterday with the same laptop so maybe it has something to do with one of the updates recently installed.

Maybe or maybe not unrelated but my thunderbolt firmware update through the Lenovo Vantage app will not install.


Thanks

:)

 

Fingerprint Scanner Lenovo Yoga X1 Yoga (3rd Gen)

Hello all! As the title suggests, I have a Lenovo Yoga X1 Yoga (3rd Gen) and I've been having issues with the fingerprint scanner lately. First, the biometric drivers were hidden in my device manager tab. I activated the reveal hidden view and got error
code 45 on the biometric drivers. I thus uninstalled my biometric drivers and reinstalled the correct drivers from Lenovo. However, the biometric devices tab is not showing them in my Device Manager now and the Synaptics app claims there isn't a scanner connected.
What can I do to get a working fingerprint scanner again?

 

Laptop restarts after closing the lid

Hi,

It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
• Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.

See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

Let us know how it turns out.
