Windows 7 Updates
I mentioned a while back that some Windows 7 security updates were causing conflicts with some of Lenovo's drivers, so after reverting to a previous version, I turned off automatic updates. This is a bit risky, so updated to current yesterday, and sure enough, Windows would not boot. Eventually, it repaired itself, and the driver conflicts seem to be past, so I now have auto updating turned on again.
You do not want auto update on Win7.

There are now 5 updates you don't want on your system. Add this to the 4 listed on that post: KB 3035583
