    The Yoga 2 Pro now has a community driven Patch. This patch fixes some software flaws and enhances the Y2P experience. This program is not sponsored nor made by Lenovo. Lenovo (nor the developer) shall be held liable for any issues caused by this program. Use at your own risk.

    Current version: http://alltechtalk.net/Yoga_Patch.exe

    Please report any/all bugs below.

    Change log:

    RC6: OnMessage Bug Fix; Submenu for tray content; Power Plan changer added to tray menu; Removed Battery Stats since Window's battery icon already gives this info,,,, redundant info; Added "Update" button. If you click it and no update is available, nothing will happen. I decided that adding a popup box telling you nothing is there is useless (making users having to scroll across the screen to exit the msg). However, if an update is present, you will be notified. Also, the program retains the auto-update check.
    RC5: Added energy consumption information to tray menu; Added a cost-per-KWatt input-box, to the settings app; minor bug fix; Added new error hooks to help troubleshoot issues.
    RC4: Update detector/downloader; Fixed "Disable Touchscreen on Boot" bug; Cleaned up the Settings app; Added quick resolution buttons to the tray menu.
    RC3: Added a Disable Touchscreen on Boot option; Fixed spelling errors.
    RC2: Hopefully fixed the Slate Mode Notification Bug; Added: Auto-Disable Touchscreen, if Touchscreen was disabled before slate mode
    RC1: Notification bug fix; changed the path of the trigger file to AppData; made an installer



    V. 0.5.1 Added DPI support
    V. 0.5: Added a "Close" button disabler (the button next to the volume up button.... this addition prevents accidental program closer); Modified the settings apps; Improved Notification Bar; Removed Tooltips (replaced with Notification Bar)
    V. 0.4: Added Notification handler for Slate Mode/Laptop Mode; Modified the settings apps; Added tray menu; Removed the Alt + X close hotkey, since try menu was added; Fixed minor bugs
    V. 0.3: Added Power Plan Toggle on Power State change; Added a Settings App; Added switches to the Patch
    V. 0.2: Added Trackpad Fix****
    V. 0.1: Touchscreen Toggle


    ****The trackpad fix only works with generic synaptic drivers. To install the latest driver (17.0.19), please do the following:

    1. Disable signature enforcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk
    2. Install the synaptic driver: 17.0.19
    3. Install the aforementioned patch


    There is no need to uninstall the previous version. The installation file knows what to do .

    Finally, I think you should note that I have never taken a computer class, aside from Intro to Computers (with M$ office being the course topic), in my life. So keep that in mind when judging my abilities. I do have limitations and lots of it :p.
