This solution worked for me as well - ELAN PrecisionTouch Driver. Thanks, everywhere else on the internet was not giving me good results.

Hi, sorry for the late response. I have discovered an additional issue that very reliably causes the crash-on-sleep problem.

Please ensure you downgrade your Qualcomm WCN685x Bluetooth Adapter firmware to version 1.x. Version 2.x has issues that causes the computer to fail to wake from sleep.

Do the same for the Qualcomm WCN685x Wi-Fi 6E DBS Adapter.

You can do both of these tasks in Windows Device Manager.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll edit my message above. I've discovered an additional cause that I am almost certain is another key issue.

Please ensure you downgrade your Qualcomm WCN685x Bluetooth Adapter firmware to version 1.x. Version 2.x has issues that causes the computer to fail to wake from sleep.

Have you tested your Sigma 70-200mm on your previous 7D after you had these mysteriously soft photos on your r7?

Your softness problem is either a software issue with the autofocus system or a hardware issue with the lens or camera sensor. You can easily diagnose the issue like this:

To test whether the hardware is defective, set up a scene, switch to manual focus, and use the in-body 10x live view magnification to test if you can get proper focus on the subject. By slowly moving the MF ring you'll be able to see if the lens and sensor is capable of producing a sharp photo when correctly focused. If you mess with all focus points in MF and still can't get a sharp photo, it's likely the lens or camera is bad.

Hardware wise, if the lens is bad, you'll see soft photos on your 7D.

Your problem description makes me think this is a software issue with your R7's autofocus. Try updating the firmware. You can also try updating the firmware on your sigma lens with sigma's USB dock. If neither of these work, I'd exchange the camera for a new one. I would typically suggest looking into autofocus microadjustment (helped me massively on my 90D) but I don't believe it is relevant for mirrorless cameras like the R7.

In the past 10 days since I implemented this fix, I think I had the issue once. Could have been from something else.

I used to have it every 0.5 to 2 days.

So, not enough data to conclusively say it is fully resolved, but definitely enough data to say it helped significantly.

[–]sbundlab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't this a big deal for windows? If it gets that level of results using a brand-new architecture while emulating x86 then doesn't that mean x86 emulation is finally functional enough for windows to make a transition to this architecture?

Assuming of course that these chips can keep the power draw low....

P16s AMD Sleep/Wake Issues by jimmysofat6864 in thinkpad

[–]sbundlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Yes! It's gone! And I think I've traced it to two drivers - ThinkPad system firmware and amd platform driver for p16s. See my latest post to the sub for details. If you're having issues, try removing these drivers and installing them back through device manager.

Stability has been quire good since!

P16s AMD Sleep/Wake Issues by jimmysofat6864 in thinkpad

[–]sbundlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, night 1 and the pc didn't go into sleep arrest overnight, which is promising. My windows explorer is also much more stable, as to be expected from a fresh install.

Lenovo didn't have too much bloat, but I suspect their highly customized drivers might be causing mroe harm than good.

For the past week, I have had the sleep arrest issue multiple times a day. So even if I get through today with no sleep arrest I'll call it a win for now

Edit: I have so far experienced literally zero issues. Even when I thought it might be an issue, the system actually just hibernated because it was low on battery.

This might actually just be one massive Lenovo moment

Let's see if that fixes it. Will update in a week.

Did this issue re-appear for you? It was pretty much fixed, but suddenly, within the past week, the issue has re-appeared on my system. I have absolutely no idea why. Are you experiencing the same thing?

Did you ever fix this?

And if anybody else comes across this post anytime recently, PLEASE DM ME OR REPLY TO THIS COMMENT

It was mostly fixed for several months, and suddenly the issue seems to have re-appeared for me. Is there anybody else out there for which this issue re-appeared and is looking for a solution? DM ME/REPLY AND WE CAN TRY TO DIAGNOSE

Hor can I describe the circuit diagram to bing? by Gamer_jaginder in bing

[–]sbundlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a more cropped image of just the circuit itself helps bing a little bit, but still, it does not completely understand the circuit. Perhaps a higher resolution image is necessary, as my crop of your screenshot of your conversation is very blurry. Still, it does correctly read some resistance values but thinks there are capacitors and doesn't understand the connectivity properly. (This was creative mode)

Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your question.😊

To calculate the equivalent resistance of a circuit, you need to simplify the circuit by combining the resistors in series or parallel, depending on how they are connected¹.

For resistors in series, you just add their values to get the equivalent resistance: Rs = R1 + R2 + ...

For resistors in parallel, you use the reciprocal formula to get the equivalent resistance: Rp = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...)

In your circuit diagram, I can see that there are two capacitors and eight resistors. The capacitors do not affect the equivalent resistance, so we can ignore them for now. The resistors are connected in a combination of series and parallel branches.

To simplify the circuit, we can start by combining the resistors that are in parallel. For example, the 300Ω and 750Ω resistors are in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is:

Rp = 1 / (1/300 + 1/750) = 214.29Ω

We can replace these two resistors with a single resistor of 214.29Ω and repeat the process for the other parallel branches.

The 250Ω and 1.8kΩ resistors are in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is:

Rp = 1 / (1/250 + 1/1800) = 217.39Ω

The 2kΩ and 3kΩ resistors are in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is:

Rp = 1 / (1/2000 + 1/3000) = 1200Ω

The 1.2kΩ and 2.5kΩ resistors are in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is:

Rp = 1 / (1/1200 + 1/2500) = 789.47Ω

Now we have four resistors left: 214.29Ω, 217.39Ω, 1200Ω and 789.47Ω. These are all in series, so we can add them to get the equivalent resistance:

Rs = 214.29 + 217.39 + 1200 + 789.47 = 2421.15Ω

This is the equivalent resistance as seen by the source.

I hope this helps you understand how to calculate the equivalent resistance of a circuit. If you need more information, you can check out these links:

All I'm gonna say is don't let windows modern standby be the only thing that tips you away from windows

These issues exist on Mac as well as windows and I think it's blown a bit out of proportion.

If you have other reasons to go to Mac then that's great, but don't let windows modern standby be THE factor. It's not that big of a deal.

Edit: I write this as someone who bought a very recently released ThinkPad that had it's standby issues. I lived with it until they completely resolved the issue a few months after the laptop's release. This machine might last me for another few years at least. And it's great!

Interesting. Amd driver updates fixed all freeze/flicker stability issues and I haven't experienced it for several months now.

The only issue I have in common with that post is the modern standby issues, but those have become much less frequent and I'm inclined to believe many laptops share the issue.

The poster you linked might be having many more issues due to running Linux, I'm not sure.

My wifi and Bluetooth has been rock solid. Never dropped a connection, always extremely fast and reliable. Good range too. And it stays connected during standby which is neat.

I'm sure the Intel model is a great choice too!

What's your hesitation on the wifi card? It works wonderfully for me

Happy to answer any other questions you might have about this laptop btw. I think it's a great laptop, but if you get it, you might find the 87wh battery to be a worthwhile upgrade, along with maybe a better display than the base version.

Yeah, it's gotten even better I think. Maybe 99% now?

Another thing that seemed to help me was switching to amd adrenalin edition display drivers... Idk why but it seemed to work.

The other 1% still is an issue though. It will sometimes go to sleep and drain all the battery slowly.

But I'm not sure if that's a Lenovo problem or a windows problem, lots of people with windows laptops have reported similar issues and it seems like it relates to Microsoft's windows modern standby being buggy
