How to Update Drivers with Lenovo Vantage

TL;DR To update drivers using Lenovo Vantage, ensure the app is installed and functioning correctly. Check for updates within Vantage regularly, but also consider manual checks on Lenovo's official support site if updates seem infrequent.

Using Lenovo Vantage for Updates

Lenovo Vantage is designed to provide driver updates alongside system updates. However, users have reported varying experiences with its effectiveness. Some users suggest reinstalling the application if updates are not appearing as expected [1:1]. It's important to check the settings in Vantage to ensure it's configured to receive updates properly.

Manual Driver Updates

For those who find Lenovo Vantage sluggish or lacking in updates, manually checking Lenovo's official support site can be a reliable alternative. By entering your device's serial number, you can access and download all available driver updates directly [3:2][4:1]. This method ensures you have the latest drivers even if Vantage misses some updates.

Alternative Tools and Methods

Some users prefer using other tools like the Lenovo Legion Toolkit for more efficient updates [3:3]. Additionally, Snappy Driver has been recommended as a safe third-party tool for updating drivers [4:4]. These alternatives may offer a more streamlined experience compared to manually updating through Device Manager.

Common Issues and Solutions

There have been instances where Vantage reports a driver as installed when it isn't. This is typically due to package issues that prevent proper installation tracking [5:1]. If this occurs, users can try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver manually or using the trash icon feature in Vantage to reset the installation status [5:2].

Considerations Beyond Vantage

While Lenovo Vantage is a useful tool, regular manual checks on Lenovo's support site can complement its functionality. Additionally, exploring other software solutions for driver updates might provide better results depending on individual needs and preferences.

Where are the driver updates from Vantage?

ORIGINAL POST

Have had a Yoga laptop for about 3 years now. I get periodic updates from Windows Update. I'm supposed to get pushed software and driver updates through Lenovo Vantage. In 3 years, Advantage has only pushed 1 Intel WLAN update and 6 BIOS updates. Where are the updates for the rest of the peripherals? You can't tell me that there are no updates for any of my other drivers for the past 3 years. Any insight as to what's going on is much appreciated.

/u/buffouston Hey there! We're sorry for the late response. Just to check, did you change any settings, or upgrade the Window OS on the Yoga? Have you tried uninstalling the Lenovo vantage app and reinstall it back? Could you check the Lenovo vantage app https://lnv.gy/3wpzXb7 again and check for a system update? Kindly update us back. Thank you for reaching our support! -Chris_Lenovo

Driver Updates

Posted by dnbgaese · in r/Intune · 4 months ago

Hi guys

Our notebook fleet is Lenovo only. Some T14, some L14. We deploy drivers through Intune.

Typical use case:
User calls service desk and says he cannot connect to the beamer in the meeting room. Service desk agent installs Lenovo Vantage and searches for updates. There are about 10-15 drivers ready to install. In Windows Update there are no drivers offered. Afterwards it works.

Service desk says, "hey please deploy Lenovo Vantage on all machines, so they get the latest driver updates". I am thinking about turning off driver updates in Intune and deploy Vantage.
Any arguments against doing this?

So I deploy Lenovo commercial vantage through intune, and I additionally deploy the Lenovo admx settings catalog which allows me to set all required and recommended updates as mandatory installs. It took me a while to figure out how to do it, but now that it's done it works flawlessly. If anyone needs some help, I can leave a guide.

Bobat · 4 months ago

We use Lenovo Commercial Vantage with the custom ADMX config. The only downside we've seen is that the Vantage update process isn't as user-friendly as the MS process. If you have mandatory installs for critical updates, the user gets a forced pop-up that says "your computer will reboot in 5 mins, save your work." MS process waits for the next reboot to finish installation with reminders. But we found that Vantage was the only reliable way to get updated drivers so it's worth it.

Funkenzutzler · 4 months ago

You're probably conflating Windows Update with Microsoft Update, which often leads to mismatched expectations when it comes to driver servicing.

Windows Update

  • Delivers updates for Windows itself: security patches, feature updates, and some basic drivers.
  • Does not include broader updates for third-party drivers or vendor-specific software.

Microsoft Update

  • Superset of Windows Update.
  • Includes drivers and software updates from Microsoft and supported third parties (like Intel, Realtek, AMD, and Lenovo - if they choose to publish to Microsoft).
  • Disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled to take effect (e.g., via Group Policy or Intune).

That said, OEMs like Lenovo often don't publish their latest or full driver set to Microsoft Update - especially for new models, niche components, or BIOS/firmware updates. Lenovo Vantage queries Lenovo’s own update catalog directly, bypassing Microsoft entirely, which explains why it finds additional drivers that Windows/Microsoft Update doesn't.

Additional Note: Driver Update Rings in Intune

Intune actually supports Driver Update Rings, which let you:

  • Opt into automatic driver updates via Windows Update for Business.
  • Define targeted update profiles (e.g., test group vs. broad deployment).
  • Gain better control and visibility compared to fully relying on OEM tools.
  • Review update availability and rollout status from the Intune portal.

The manufacturer support site, like almost every other piece of computer hardware, is where you need to go. You can get to it by following the link in the Vantage software. You can also go here:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/legion-series/legion-5-15arh05/downloads/driver-list/

Make sure you confirm your model and change if necessary.

The new version of Vantage sucks big time! Fortunately you can go back to the previous version, which is much better, especially if you use the registry mods to disable the "consumer features". I just did that today.

This.

The only other useful thing Vantage does is to set the battery charge threshold in case you are on AC a lot. This can easily be done using this simple utility.

Everything else is either a duplicate of some Windows 10 system functionality or ads.

To the OP u/chimp73, if you are concerned about bloat but you still want to use Vantage, at the very least install the enterprise edition and disable all the consumer features.

LENOVO VANTAGE AUTO UPDATE NOT WOKRING

Posted by lovepatel898 · in r/Lenovo · 3 years ago

Hi Team,
I have been having some issues with LENOVO VANTAGE app. I have set it to "Auto update" for CRITICAL and RECOMMENDED updates, but it never take them automatically. Due to this, we are constantly having some kind of functionality/connection issues. We have almost 100 Lenovo machines, and almost everyday users reach me about some kind of issues, and all I do is perform those updates manually.

I would really appreciate your suggestions, comments and help to fix this issue. Also, I would like to get these updates done automatically.

This is expected. I have a Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 with RTX 4090 GPU and i9-13900HX CPU.
