| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| “No supported system found” | Your model may be consumer-grade (e.g., IdeaPad). Use Lenovo Vantage instead. |
| Stuck at “Checking for updates” | Firewall/proxy blocking download.lenovo.com. Allow HTTPS outbound. |
| Installation fails | Run sfc /scannow, then retry. Or manually download the driver from support site. |
| BIOS update doesn’t apply | Disable BitLocker temporarily (BIOS updates require it suspended). |
