Many thanks for quick reply - Lenovo software removed - it was a program to optimize bootup, which I haven't used in windows 10, but was loaded at startup. If I uninstall Avast, can I just use...
This seems to happen when running videos - either in the browsers or in media player. Seems to happen every few days but is now getting worse.
In my history of updates it shows that on 7th October the update for AMD Radeon HD 6300M failed to install. Is there anything I can do or just wait to see if it tries again.
Have you tried this: How to Disable Auto Adjust Screen Brightness - ambient light sensor - Ideapad Y560 - Lenovo Support (US)
Seems to be something to do with lenovo power settings.
So glad that helped. I think the more you play around with windows 10 the more there is hidden.
Don't know what it is - didn't understand the stuff on microsoft web site about this. Happened to me only one, a couple of weeks ago when using edge. Has not happened since, so hope updates might...

I only get a list of web options for this. But my search seems to work for pretty much everything else OK.
Hi
Have had Windows since 29th July, so going on for a week now. For some reason it now wakes from sleep in an instant (2 or 3 seconds) instead of 90 seconds. It is only in the last couple of...
Hi
This might seem like a trivial problem compared to some of the others on this site, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix my icon problem. I have icons for certain files - word and...
I had exactly the same after updating- nothing seemed to work , could not open start menu or search. So I left the machine running overnight. In the morning I did a shut down, and then once the...
I've had same problem - sometimes after machine on for a few hours, sometimes straight after waking from sleep. Only thing to do was to shut down and start up again. Just doing a restart sometimes...
I had same problem - all files and folders (except on desktop) had been set to read only. Changing attributes did not work. What I did was go to the security tab, chose edit, find the user and then...
