Thank you so much + 2Q's

Sandman, thank you so much , you can't imagine (or yes you can) how much time this saved for me.

I thought my Yoga Book was lost because I used a non-compatible (!!) OTG adapter for my USB stick. The boot menu took the name but not the data so it didn't want to boot. I bought a new OTG adapter and everything worked smoothly.

Two questions to you or the board:

* could you (or anyone) briefly comment on whether letting Windows Update do its thing is a risk to get a new uncompatible setup (is Win10 automatically updating to erroneous drivers or non-compatible new Win10 versions)? Should we prevent certain Win10 updates?

* I'm very curious as to how good your stripped builds of Win10 would work. Do you have any old stripped ISO builds laying around to share?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] betosandov:
¡It worked!

Sandman, thanks a lot!! My Yoga Book didn't run windows for almost 2 months until I found this forum.

Your tutorial was very easy. I tried to download my own ISO, following all the steps, but I couldn't. I think I made a mistake at step 11 (I didn't understand it). So, I downloaded your pre-builded ISO and it worked great!

I'm really appreciated. I thought my yoga wasn't going to work anymore.

¡¡THANKS!! Greetings from Argentina,

Joseph. :good:

Screen off question

Hi sandman and all! ;)

I have recently bought a yogabook windows version that was a Lenovo refurb. Am really happy with it but did some research to see how I can turn the screen off when taking notes.

This is a standard feature with the android version but it doesn't seem to be available on the Windows version?

Does this W10 refresh have a setting to turn off the display when taking notes or has anyone come up with a way to make this work?? :confused:

It would be great if we can do it to save battery and also get rid of touching something on the screen when it is folded over... :crying:

It does have the modern power state mode so i think there must be a way..!

Please help out if you can - sorry to dig up and older post but trying to find a way!

Thanks again!! :)

I have the following problem: My Yoga Book crashes at the start and now I am forced to rebuild the operating system. That's why I came across your post. Now I've created the USB stick exactly according to instructions and several times tried to boot from this, but the device can not find the stick in the BIOS. Do I have to consider additional settings in BIOS? Unfortunately, I can not flash BIOS because I have no access to the device - except for access to BIOS.

dear Sandman

thanks for your guide.

i need for your explanation about STEP 11

"Step 11. Copy and paste the included files from inside the "Mount Directory Files" folder into the base of the Explorer window that opened. After confirming the file copy prompts you can now close this window. "

it's not clear (for me) where it must be copied the "Mount Directory Files". i haven't any Explorer windows opened.

thans for your explanation.

dear Sandman

I have the same issue as Benny72 above, please review this step and clarify as it does not appear clear.

I get a list of folders in a new explorer window when I right click on 'Explore mount directory', not a list of files.

Not clear what to copy, and not clear where to paste.

Tks

Hello, your toto is great, but i'm lost at item 11

step 10 is opening a Windows in C:\Users\btourret\AppData\Local\Temp\NLTmpMount01 where there are perflog, programs, programs(x64), users and Windows folder.

Step 11. Copy and paste the included files from inside the "Mount Directory Files" folder into the base of the Explorer window that opened.

I dont understand what I should copy to where I must put them...
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] gima56:
Just to say Sandman, THANK YOU!!!

I bought a second hand Windows Yoga Book on Sunday and on Monday... I stupidely broke Windows by trying to update the drivers with a software. Then despite trying reseting the installation of Windows 10, I always got a Blue screen before starting Windows 10. I used also your Windows 10 image, and now I will try to create my own to adapt to my language directly. I even noticed my tablet is faster to boot, specially as I am using the Hibernate mode.

Thanks to this post, I have been able to recover a functional Yoga Book. Just one problem, I think the multi mode program is not active: If I click on the pen button above the keyboard, the keyboard turns off but that's all, from what I saw at first, I should have a little menu which appears with OneNote & other programs (not sure, thanks to my stupidity, I had not much time to investigate :()

And another question : I used a lot the scrolling move with 2 fingers but I would like to invert (move down, scroll down) but I can't find the option. Do you know how to?

Thanks again for your work, it saves my day.

Hi, have followed everything and mostly everything works - what doesn't ;

I have a device "Tool Device" that has no driver which seems important - can you guide me to where to find it.

Functionality problems (maybe due to missing driver) are that;

1. the screen does no auto-rotate portrait to landscape any more

2. opening to tablet mode seems to turn off (as if I'd closed the lid).

3. the halo keyboard display is stuck on qwerty even though I have installed in French and the keyboard is mapped to french.

All help appreciated.

Multiple Displays Issue

So I too have got to this stage and appear to have tried everything. I am stuck with about 5 copies of the installation laid over each other and unable to proceed any further. I spoke to Lenovo (Who are useless) and they just said the only option is to pay for them to do it! No system restore images available etc...

I am continuing to search each day, but replied here so can keep up to date in case anyone else finds a fix for this.

Hello,

Great guide, is helping people even today.

I've managed to install Windows and everything works however when pressing the pen button the keyboard vibrates and goes dark but nothing else happens. Starting OneNote and trying to use the pen doesn't work on the keyboard, only on the screen. Is anything else required to make the pen work? Or it only works in certain softwares?

Much appreciated.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] SamboNZ:
THANK YOU Sandman!!

You have saved me no doubt MANY HOURS with this guide!!

I do have one problem however with a scrambled graphics display which seems to be happening to a few people recently.

Here is a screenshot of what the issue looks like:

I am using Win10 v2004 and followed your guide to inject the drivers etc from your driver/file pack (thanks for that too!).

I suspect that this is a graphics driver issue, however I can't see a graphics driver for this device on the Lenovo site.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

i have the same problem with windows 2004. Just followed the guide from first post. but it give me at the boot the same Error as SamboNZ.

any solution please?

Update:

i managed at last to install 2004 without problems. First i installed a fresh win 1909 to usb drive with rufus. i attached external 2 USB ADAPTER TO YOGA BOOK IN ONE USB I PUT A MOUSE AND IN THE OTHERE i put flash drive with win 1909 (untouched ISO). with the mouse i could select the settings (as you all knew the touch screen is disabled from factory at the boot) until i managed to install the 1909 after that i upgraded to 2004 with microsoft upgrade assistant. Drivers download from Lenovo website and install them . everything working properly without issue.

i tried to install 2004 fresh copy but it gave me the same issue as SamboNZ. The fresh copy of 1909 did the job.

After the recent windows update my Lenovo Yoga Book started messing up which brought me to this thread, Alas I gained hope and seen a light at the end of tunnel. Until the link was broken xD After a few days of digging I managed to create a custom ISO which allowed me to install windows 10.

Everything is working except the vibrate on keypress. (I use keypad tone for now until I get it working)

I am more than happy to help any other lost souls which wind up here. Feel free to drop me a Message.

Note: My method isn't the same as the OP, You will need an OTG cable with a USB hub to plug in Mouse, Keyboard and installation USB. But it will include majority of drivers including WiFi, Keyboard I installed after Windows installation.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Gallowsky:
Hello everyone.

recently I have installed a fresh Win ISO 1909 (2004 not working as posted above) and everything worked fine. If you don't have a usb hub you can install automatically Windows 10 using the autounattended.xml on the root of the USB Drive (you won't need keyboard and mouse)

autounattended generator

be careful as you need to create Administrator with a password, otherwise the Administrator account would be disabled after install! Also consider that you need to edit the <OSImage> tag with this entry

<InstallFrom>
<MetaData wcm:action="add">
<Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>
<Value>Windows 10 Pro</Value>
</MetaData>

after the first boot that's what I did:

-Installed the keyboard but skipping the Goodix uninstall (I didn't have the drivers already installed as stated in the guide)

-Installed manually all the unrecognised driver via Device Manager

after few drivers installation the yoga book restarted automatically and everything was working fine :)

also I think you can install the drivers using NTLite but be careful! boot.wim and install.wim are different things!

boot.wim needs the drivers to boot e.g. sata controllers and network adapters

install.wim needs all the other drivers to make Windows functional

to install the drivers I suggest you to manually download everything from lenovo and then unpack all the .inf/.sys/.cat/... files you need. If a driver has just the .exe file to install you have to find a way to get the raw files instead.

Thanks to IraqLobstA for the patience to explain me his procedure and providing me all the raw drivers file I needed :)

you can find the same drivers here: Gdrive

feel free to contact me for further infos
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] no_se:
Hello and thanks for the update!

Since I never used the autounattended genarator and I can't find the "<OSImage>" part in the created file, can you provide yours? Placing XXXpasswordXXX instead of your data of course...

Just to list what I have done (not working, yet):

Downloading the windows-ISO was difficult from a windows pc, so I used a linux px for that and copied that to the windows pc.

Completely useless, since rufus can pick the Windows-ISO by itself.

I used rufus to prepare a sd-card and and usb pen drive with this ISO.

The yoga book refuses to boot from the sd card and complains about missing drivers.

Booting from the usb is getting me a bit farther, but after swiping the disks it stucks. I guess it is because I have to switch between usb keyboard and boot device.

Good news, everyone!

I've created new instructions based on Sandman45654's excellent guide. I figured since he doesn't seem to be around here anymore, and since I had the necessary files, I'd just go ahead with it.

The guide (in .PDF format because I like pretty layouts) is here, and the setup files are here (all necessary files, including the setup files and third-party utilities, are also linked from within the guide). Please read the guide before jumping in; I've made slight modifications to the setup files, so following his steps exactly won't work. On the plus side, I offer a workaround for the display corruption issue that people have been experiencing. I have successfully installed Windows 10 version 20H2v2 on my machine, and verified that it works.

Anyways, if anyone tries it, let me know how it turns out!​

Best Thanks @lectricpharaoh, you made my Day!

One Note on "you can try to work around the issue (good luck with that)":

I found an easy workaround/fix for the graphics corruption problem: Just blug in an external monitor via the HDMI before you start your book for the Boot from the USB. This restores the graphics on the book as well as on the external monitor. No Idea why this woks... :D
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
That's really bizarre. Thanks for the tip. I'll add that into the guide when I get a chance; it will give people the option of manually selecting settings during install.

I'm actually in the process of uploading an autoinstall .ISO. Obviously, you can't change the settings (well, actually you could edit/replace autounattend.xml) this way, and it'll wipe your drive, but it's great for people wanting a turnkey solution, rather than fussing about with the guide. It's Win10 Home, version 20H2v2, en-US.

It's taking absolutely *forever* to upload, though.

Writing this as it might be helpful for others. I got a DM with the following question

My Reply

Hi

Sorry for the late reply. Haven't been on XDA for a while. Since they changed the interface it's just a time-wasting forum IMHO...

Anyways, just download the latest Win10 ISO. Most drivers are now up to date straight into Windows 10.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 or if you want to get insider previews https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso . Avoid Dev Channel builds as the YogaBook is too slow for intense weekly builds. For me at least.

I highly recommend downloading and extracting the Intel Motherboard Chipset drivers from Lenovo. After extraction just go through all the subfolders and right click the *.inf files and choose "install". This adds missing chipset drivers, mostly for UART, HID priority triggers, wlan etc...

Intel Chipset Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit) - YOGA Book (Lenovo YB1-X91F/L)

tablets :: yoga series :: yoga book - Lenovo Support ES

Keep close attention on the Windows Update "View optional updates" in case it shows up. Mostly Driver updates...

BTW

I use my YogaBook as secondary device (as a MediaCenter) controlled by the MS Garage Project

Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders . Google it for more info, for me one of the most useful utilities ever.
