Is CalDigit planning any firmware updates and any ETA to resolve some of the stability issues?

Is anyone else having sleep/wake up issues with the TS5 + dock?

I'm having huge issues with my TS5+ not waking up properly after I step away from my computer.

Sometimes the device gives power to the devices connected but the Windows app are seemingly unable to connect to the devices. More times than not the webcam connected to the dock is not able to properly initialize to login with Windows Hello.

I paid extra for a premium dock, but this is not the experience I was expecting. Such a distraction to keep having to troubleshoot issues with the TS5+.

The one good thing is after the software update the 10G Ethernet seems to be rock solid but not the USB connectivity.

I've loved using my Legion 9i Gen 10 that I bought for work. I do software development, so I bought this laptop for serious work purposes and while I love everything about this laptop, I have no idea why Lenovo decided to bundle such a miserable piece of software with this laptop as the Intel Killer nonsense.

I was unfortunate enough to have a faulty Killer driver pushed to my laptop on 5/19 and since then I've spent over 20 hours trying to get my laptop stable again so I can use it for work.

This is what the Intel Killer driver update did to my laptop.

• Ruined the audio playback of the laptop with constant audio cracking and popping.
• Network lag with bandwidth throttled down to the kbs range!
• Network instability that made other applications unusable with data being throttled up and down constatly.
• Windows system crashes/freezes.
• Application/system lag where the computer freezes momentrailly.
• Windows hangs momentarily where even keyboard input stops for 5-10 seconds.

After wasting 20+ hours trying out everything I can think of with Gemini/ChatGPT helping me diagnose solutions, this is what I ended up having to do to make my laptop usable again. And yes, during those 20 hours, I've rolled back drivers, removed and cleaned the network drivers and installed the official Lenovo drivers, tried various combinations and basically everything ChatGPT and Gemini could think of.

I'm posting this for the benefit of anyone else whose computer gets destroyed by Intel Killer.

• Disable ALL the worthless Intel Killer Windows services. All 5 of them.
• Disable the Ethernet port of my laptop. I'm now using WIFI 7 for Internet access and will transition Internet access to the network port of my Thunderbolt 5 hub after some testing.
• Disable all Killer software components in Device Manager.
• Disable Windows update from updating hardware drivers and only update the core OS. Previously, Windows update kept reinstalling the Intel Killer nonsense making my laptop unstable all over again.

Finally after doing all this, my laptop is functional again.

Absolutely insane I need to use the network port of a hub on my $5,000 laptop because the Intel killer nonsense has basically made in unusable. It's 2026 and God forbid the Ethernet work properly. Wish these laptops had an option to enable "Networking mode that just works" without all the Killer nonsense.

The one thing Intel did right with Killer is they named it right. It's great at killing your laptop. 😅🤣

Anyone know if the Legion 9i Gen 10 can support three 6K displays?

Hoping I can connect one to the Thunderbolt 5 port in my laptop and connect the other two via Thunderbolt to two additional 6K displays via the Anker Thunderbolt 5 dock.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking to purchase two 6K 32" monitors for work and really disappointed with what is available.

The LG seems to have a lot of complaints about durability and quality. The ASUS seems not much better, and I really dislike the thick bezel with the ugly logo plastered in the middle.

The LG looks perfect aesthetically with thin bezels and no logo and just wish it was higher quality and a bit brighter.

The Samsung 6K monitor just came out and what on earth are they thinking with only 350 NITS?!

Are there any 32" 6K monitors on the horizon with TB5 input and decent NITS of at least around 600. It's like everyone decided to make the same mediocre 6K monitor. 🤣

Would love to find a 32" 6K monitor that is either OLED or mini-LED or higher end LCD that is bright enough.
