The video examines keyboard problems associated with Lenovo Legion laptops, focusing on issues with using hotkeys while holding down the function key and problems exacerbated by connecting a USB keyboard. The speaker identifies the core issue as a flawed Lenovo BIOS in conjunction with a buggy Windows fast startup feature, which retains data from previous sessions to speed up boot times but often causes conflicts with connected devices. To resolve the issue, the speaker advises turning off fast startup in Windows by navigating through the control panel, using "powercfg.cpl," and disabling the option in the power plan settings. This solution, which may also apply to other laptop brands, aims to alleviate the keyboard malfunctions without the need to disconnect peripherals.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses keyboard problems with Lenovo Legion laptops, specifically issues with using hotkeys while holding down the function key (FN). The problem is exacerbated when a USB keyboard is connected, sometimes fixing itself upon reboot. A suggested fix involves disconnecting all peripherals and holding down the power button for at least one minute, which supposedly addresses a mythical “static discharge” issue. However, the speaker asserts that the real cause is a combination of poor Lenovo BIOS and a buggy Windows fast startup feature. The fast startup retains data from previous sessions to supposedly speed up boot times but often leads to issues with connected devices. The recommended solution is turning off the laptop and holding the power button without the need to disconnect everything.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how to resolve a keyboard issue on a Lenovo laptop by disabling the fast startup feature in Windows. The process involves opening the old-style control panel, which might require a temporary USB keyboard or on-screen keyboard if the current keyboard is non-functional. The user needs to run “powercfg.cpl” to access the power plan configuration menu, then select “define what power buttons do,” unlock the grayed-out settings by clicking the shield icon, and uncheck the “fast startup” option. After saving these changes and rebooting, the keyboard issue should be resolved. This solution is suggested to potentially work with other laptop brands as well.
