Sorry, it is a Lenovo Y700 I'm dealing with, not the laptop in my profile. I will try to add this one. Unfortunately I did not find any applicable drivers on their site or updates through Windows.

I don't see much detail here: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Lenovo_Laptops/ideapad_Y700_17/ideapad_Y700_17_Spec.PDF

But I'll try to see if there's any updated drivers tonight, thanks.

I have a common issue with my SD card where the card is not detected if I insert it while Windows is running. If I insert the card before booting up, then the card is recognized. The card works as...

Ah, I see, should have waited another 5 minutes haha. I had looked at the PARTUUID in gdisk in Linux and it didn't match, so I assume it needed to be set anyway.

I ran the commands as outlined above including the 'set id' part and I am now able to boot Windows. Thank you topgundcp!

While installing a different OS. My EFI partition was wiped and set as unallocated space. I booted up a linux live cd and partitioned the unallocated space, formatting it back to FAT32. I was able to...

Ok, cool. That's good news. I'll give it a try then.

Are you sure? Right now I have Windows and my Linux Distros sharing the same EFI partition, but they are all in their own folders of course. But are you saying that I can create a second EFI...

I currently have one 100MB EFI partition and I use grub to boot Windows 10, Manjaro, and Arch. I'm going to be installing macOS which requires a 200MB EFI partition. I have read though, that Windows...

I guess the delay was the issue. Instead of changing it in the batch file though, I just changed it in task scheduler. Instead of having it run at startup, I set it to run at logon of any user.

I use the laptop exclusively for video playback to a TV. When you turn the laptop on with the HDMI plugged in, the built in display is on, but blank. The only way to get the built in display to...

I wasn't familiar with group policy. I looked into it though, but I don't think I have it on my system. I though of something though. The purpose of my script is to change the primary display from...
