I UNFORTUNATELY can not remember what distro I may have just installed to trigger this bug on my Lenovo (I multibooted), though this exact issue happened to me on my Lenovo Z70. It happened to me long before 17.10 was out and to be fair before 17.04. I used (still do ..) many different distro and not all of them are Ubuntu based.

The two main symptoms I heard from the person who linked me to this post/thread/whatever was EXACTLY what happened to me.

- No USB device would be seen on bootup though after the OS boots it sees it fine (only Linux OSs installed btw... no Windows anywhere) and the USB drives could be seen.

- No BIOS changes were EVER SAVED .. it seemed on each reboot everything kept going back to defaults.

I no longer have the Lenovo in question since even the repair shop had no idea how to fix it.
