A large number of Lenovo ThinkPad laptops are suffering from serious issues relating to the USB Type-C port and Thunderbolt controller, but there is a fix in the form of firmware and driver updates.

The details of the nasty gremlins in the works are provided via a Lenovo support page, where you will also find the relevant system updates for the different affected devices.
This was highlighted by Notebook Check, and there’s a long list of affected models provided by Lenovo, all of which are ThinkPad notebooks from 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Those issues include the USB-C port simply not working anymore, or experiencing connectivity problems. Alternatively, video output may fail, or power delivery via the USB-C port might fall over. In other words, the Type-C port will either fail completely or partly.
