Getting driver_corrupted_expool error on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
-
Posting for @dominica. Her Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro has been having lots of issues lately with the screen flashing, locking, getting stuck in the wrong position and finally the laptop crashing. After the laptop BSODs she gets a driver_corrupted_expool error.
Anyone familiar with this one?
-
It is Windows 10, which I tagged but did not mention in the body of the text.
-
MSDN's article on the driver_corrupted_expool error says: The ultimate cause of this problem is almost certainly a driver that has corrupted the system pool
-
Looks like this might be more common in the Lenovo families. On MS Social it is Lenovo units that turn up with this too.
Everything just says to check for updated drivers, but there are none. Seems to be little that can be done about it.
-
That is what I am seeing, looks like you just have to wait to see if Lenovo addresses the issue or not.
-
Apparently there is a newer driver directly from Intel, she is trying that one now.
-
Whats your opinion on the reversible laptops? I've never used one, do the keys get in the way when you flip the screen?
We got tc440's in college through the tuition and they sort of made sense because the screen folded down over the keys. Just seems like an accident waiting to happen by damaging the keys.
-
They do a bit. They aren't the best. The idea is nice but we find that we have flipped it like once in a year. Rarely is it useful at all.
-
So far the Intel drivers have been working. Good sign.
-
So nearly 24 hours without an issue. Definitely appears to be working at this point.

No kidding, the WiFi drivers never worked and the machine only works with external third party wifi adapters, not the internal.
-
Did you update the recent BIOS updates they've released?
I wonder if they finally released a version of the driver for the internal card without their crap in there?
I replaced my internal card with a generic intel card - worked like a champ - and I upgraded at AC.

Good call on that. Never thought about it but they are generally all designed similar mounting and such.

I have a Yoga 2 Pro. it uses a standard connector (forget the name). The thing some people reported problems with was that BIOS locked out non signed devices... but my laptop didn't seem to care.
I recently updated the BIOS in this machine (after the last Lenovo scandal) and freaked when after booting up I didn't have WiFi, but I rebooted, reset the BIOS to default and everything was fine.
-
If they let you replace the hardware, how can they ensure that they are hijacking your data?
-
I had to hack the bios in a Lenovo T410 to change the wifi card.
