Customer Ratings & Reviews

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800ENUS. This model ships with Windows 11 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System installed. Windows 11 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. If you need to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode

This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800KLUS, ships with a Integrated 35Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this model configuration, has a battery life of up to 6 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, first, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery Charge Threshold is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. You can turn off Battery Charge Threshold within the Lenovo Vantage APP installed on this computer. In Vantage select Battery Settings and turn off Battery Charge Threshold, if turned on. Set your Power Management to a battery conservation mode for those situations where you need maximum battery life. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 11 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-find-what-is-running-in-windows-11/.

The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of your Windows 11 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults.

We are sorry to hear that your son is having issues charging his Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800KLUS. First, plug the included 65W round tip (2-pin, wall-mount) AC adapter/charger, 100-240V, 50-60Hz, into a wall socket, then plug in the computer. There is an LED power light next to the AC adapter port on the laptop that will light up when the laptop is charging properly. Solid white: connected to ac power; battery capacity 91%–100%, Solid amber: connected to ac power; battery capacity 1%–90%, Off: not connected to ac power. If the LED light is not on, the issue may be with the AC adapter/charger itself. Here is a link to a compatible replacement AC adapter/charger from a Best Buy advertising partner:  https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/chargers-and-batteries/chargers/gx20l29355?orgRef=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F&cid=us:sem|se|google|GS_Push_Sale|||GX20L29355|18337311350|||shopping|pmax&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0bGy4Nja-gIVF-DICh0FdQGdEAYYASABEgJZFPD_BwE. If the LED light comes on when the AC adapter/charger is plugged in, now check the current battery charge level by placing the touchpad cursor over the Battery Icon at the bottom right of the Windows 11 Desktop Screen. You don't need to click on the icon, just let the cursor hover over the icon. A pop-up box will appear with the current battery charge level status indicated. If the current charge level is above 50 Percent, unplug the AC adapter/charger and let the battery level drop below 50 Percent. Once the battery level is below 50 Percent, plug the AC adapter/charger back in and the battery should begin charging normally. Windows 11 has Battery Saver software that will stop the laptop from charging once the battery level reaches 100 Percent charge level. This is to protect the battery from being over-charged. Once the battery level reaches less than 90 Percent charge, the battery will only trickle charge. Letting the battery level drop below 50 Percent will let the battery charge at the normal rate, back up to 100 Percent charge level. If this issue continues, we recommend you contact Lenovo tech Support for additional help. Let the Lenovo Customer Support Specialist know the troubleshooting steps you have already taken.
