If you own a Lenovo laptop, don't download the latest version of Windows 10 until you've look at this article. Why? Because Lenovo posted a support page having a rather long list of known problems that are currently plaguing its laptops.

Lenovo tested each of its laptops searching for problems with the most recent Windows 10 May 2020 update. Unfortunately, the company discovered an alarming number of issues on a number of tablets and laptops. Many of these are minor problems that can be easily fixed, so don't panic at this time.

We'll go over each one of the problems and provide an answer if one is available. It's also wise to keep in mind that there are several additional bugs in the Windows 10 May 2020 update that Microsoft acknowledged after its official release.

Which range from Bluetooth connectivity issues to incompatibility with old Nvidia graphics cards, these bugs, if they apply to you, will prevent your laptop from automatically installing the latest form of Windows. If you're within this group, we highly recommend waiting for a patch instead of manually installing the May update.

Windows 10 May 2020 issues with Lenovo laptops

Here is a list of issues published by Lenovo after the company tested its large fleet of tablets and laptops with the Windows 10 May 2020 update. When the methods to these issues don't work, consider rolling to a far more stable version of Windows 10.

UltraNav driver problem for ThinkPads

Certain ThinkPad models are getting hit with a "Failed to load Apoint.DLL, Alps Pointing device application has stopped" error when installing the May 2020 update. It has related to the UltraNav driver, which helps the Synaptics pointing device.

Lenovo provided a simple solution to the issue:

1. Press your window + X answer to open Device Manager.
2. Expand the arrow before Mice and other pointing devices and choose Think UltraNav device.
3. Right click on it and select Update driver. The UltraNav driver will be automatically updated towards the latest.
4. Restart your computer.

Yellow warning on disk drive

Popular ThinkPad models, like the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2, are showing a yellow warning around the disk drive. You will have to disable BitLocker to resolve this issue. Fundamental essentials steps Lenovo recommends you are taking:

1. Right-click around the drive with the yellow warning mark.
2. Turn on BitLocker then power it down. If you do not need BitLocker, go to Settings > Update & Security > Device encryption, and then click Turn Off.

Movies & TV app with green border

If you see a green border round the Movies & TV app, then your AMD video driver inside your laptop is causing problems. AMD will release a patch with this issue on June 15, 2020, so be sure to update the motive force once it becomes available.

F11 hotkey issues

This specific problem affects only the ThinkPad X1 Tablet (Gen 3). Whenever you install the May 2020 update, the F11 hotkey might stop working. Lenovo is looking to roll out a fix by June 29. Until then, visit User interface > System and Security > Lenovo > Keyboard Manager.

Blue screen of death of Death error

We almost got through this without mentioning the dreaded Blue Screen of Death error. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad P70 fell victim to this most-feared issue after installing the May 2020 update. Lenovo suspects the issue is BIOS related as well as an investigation is still ongoing.

Of all of the issues, this is the most troubling. The only surefire way to protect your P70 is as simple as going back to an early on version of Windows 10 (whether it will let you).
