  1. Windows Hello + external camera + tent mode = not working


    Dear All,

    I have a laptop Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 7390 which I use mainly in tent mode. As the build in camera doesn't support Windows Hello I purchased external one Logitech Brio 4K. Unfortunately I quickly figured out that there is configuration issued that the external camera sees the Windows Hello up side down and can't recognize me.


    Is there a way to configure it so that the setup works?


    Please let me know if you need some more details to support.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 tent mode slow down

    I am having the same problems, drove me crazy because at the office I am using the Yoga 2 Pro in tent mode, attached to an external screen. Took me a while to figure out that the problems where due to tent mode instead of attaching to the external screen.

    Biggest problems are with chrome which becomes really unresponsive and does scroll very very slow, but also in Edge and Firefox. Also it seems like office documents are opening very slow.

    I am using the Yoga in laptop mode for the time being, that works just fine.

    A while ago I had another problem connected to graphics settings/drivers and if I recall it properly it had to do with a conflict between Intel graphics settings (via Intel HD Graphics Control Panel), Windows own graphics settings (which overlap with Intel's)
    and Lenovo's settings concerning laptop/tablet/tent mode. I thought the solution back then was to disable the Intel Graphics Control Panel but I can't find that option anymore...

  4. Windows Hello + external camera + tent mode = not working

    screen auto-rotate for tent-mode won't work after downloading Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, I understand that you are facing some issues using Windows 10.

    This might have occurred due to some compatibility issues.

    I would like to know some information.


    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    Download and install drivers

    If issue still persists, then install the drivers for Windows 8/8.1 from the manufacturer's website in compatibility mode and check if that works.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    Make older apps or programs compatible with Windows 10



    If it is a Lenovo computer, I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.
