Overview
Lenovo Service Bridge is a small utility that lets Lenovo’s support website automatically detect your machine’s model and serial number, so you get the right drivers and updates without typing them in. This guide explains what it does and how to install it safely.
Key Takeaways

Troubleshooting
Problem: The support site does not detect your PC.
Solution: Confirm Service Bridge is installed and running, and allow the browser prompt to open it.

Solution: Uninstall it from Apps & features; it is only needed while using the support site.
