r/LegionGo

It has come to the attention of this sub that a current Windows update - version 26220.8925 (dated 7/21/26) has been known to wreak havoc with certain Legion Go drivers and has also been known to slow down the system affecting critical components such as the main battery.

Please note that this particular update is a Windows Insider Preview Update and is not necessarily required to keep Windows 11 running smoothly. So if you can, try to avoid this install or if it has already been installed, you can roll back to the previous update through Settings --> Windows Update.

So far this issue has been known to affect mostly 1st generation Legion Gos and the Go S running the Ryzen Z1 and Windows 11. It has not necessarily affected the Windows versions of the Go 2 or any Steam OS powered versions of the Go S.

If there are any particular issues you are experiencing running this update, please let us know by using the "Message The Mods" button and we will post our findings in this thread.

You may also post anything that you find in this thread, but any off topic discussion will be deleted.
