T440s Power Manager vs Windows 8 Power Manager

Hi guys,
I have a T440s, 
Is there much of a difference between the Lenovo Power Manager vs the Windows Power Manager?
Thanks!

Good day.
There is no Windows 8x version of ThinkVantage Power Manager.
Regards.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad Power Manager/ Windows Power Options Issue: Display Re-awakens Immediately

    I want to share my experience with setting idle timers under Lenovo Power Manager or Windows Power Options, respectively.
    I noticed that every time the monitor just had dimmed or shut off according to my power savings options, it brightened up or turned on again only a few seconds later.
    I had seen the same behavior before using my Dell Latitude laptop, so I came up with the solution relatively quickly this time.
    The interference was caused by a Logitech wireless mouse, even though all drivers were installed correctly and the mouse was working flawlessly.
    Installing the Logitech SetPoint firmware solved the problem in both cases without further steps being necessary.
    Maybe this note will help other users facing the same issue. Good luck.
    Solved!

  • SCP, SSH and SFTP in CMD / File-Explorer and SSH key management with Windows Credential Manger

    Please add SSH, SFTP and SCP in CMD and File Explorer.
    Also, allow us to copy to FTP in File Explorer.
    Would be nice to have the SSH credentials managed by Windows Credentials Manager.

    Even with the RHEL firewall completely disabled, it has the same upper limit. SCP between the Solaris systems, with ipfilter running on both systems and both systems on completely different networks, is not a problem. Between Solaris and RHEL, same network but different subnet, RHEL with no firewall running (only while troubleshooting this, don't panic), still a problem. Using PuTTY SFTP from/to any of the systems is fine, even though on different networks. The mtu on the RHEL was the same as the Solaris systems (1500) - changing values on the RHEL increased the upper limit but still hit a ceiling. Only have one RHEL system so I can't see whether RHEL-RHEL transfers are affected, only those between Solaris, PuTTY on Windows, and the one RHEL system.

  • Problems with SpeedStep and Windows Power Management: SYSTEM FREEZES!

    I am running an E6600 on my MSI 975X PUE-Mainboard @ 2,4 GHz.  I am experiencing a strange problem that seems to be related to EIST and/or Windows Power Management:
    As soon as I set Windows Power Management to "Presentation" or any other mode that lets Windows throttle the CPU frequency the system freezes randomly: no bluescreens, no error messages...the only option is to hit the restart button...
    However, if the Windows Power Management Option is set to "Desktop" the system runs just fine!
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems? 
    Any suggestions?

    @Vaniireg
    Thanks for your reply, but I cannot agree.  Windows Power Management is needed in order to use Speedstep:
    http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/203838.htm
    Intel clearly states that:
    "An OS that supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is required. Current supporting OSs include:, Microsoft Windows* XP SP2 includes native support for Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology."
    and further:
    "Finally Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology must be turned on in the OS. Currently, for Windows* XP SP2 operating systems Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology by default is off. To turn it on do the following: Under Control Panel – open Power Options Under the Power Schemes pull down menu To turn Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology ON select, “Minimal Power Management,” power scheme.  To turn Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology OFF select, “Always On,” power scheme."
    If I select the "Minimal Power Management" power scheme, the CPU frequency will drop to about 1,6 GHz and the Voltage (CPU-Z) to 1,136-1,144 V.  Whenever I do that the system will eventuelly freeze.  Skipping through a video file in Media Player Classic is sometimes enough to cause the system to hang. 
    If I select the "Always On" power scheme the system will run stable, no freezes will occur, but the CPU will ALWAYS run @2,4 GHz and the voltage WILL NOT be reduced to 1.14 V. 
    @batcook09:
    Unfortunately, a clean re-install of Windows XP Pro did not take care of my problem.  I've already tried that.  The system is not overclocked and is running with default settings.  Speedstep is enabled. 
    It is interesting to notice, that Dual Core Center always causes my system to freeze, even though Windows Power Management Options are set to "Always On".  I read a lot of bad things about this program and that is one more reason for me to avoid using it.
    Well, I have forwarded my problem to Intel and MSI Support, maybe they will come up with any solution.
    Until then, further suggestions are very welcome...

  • T61, WinXP SP2: Windows Power Options vs Thinkpad Power Manager (Standby/LID/etc)

    My message is similar to this one:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&message.id=4885
    but show clear source of problem.
    So I start...
    I have [brand new ] T61 with XP SP2 Russian, installed from R&R disks from Lenovo through Vista Downgrade deal.
    1. I set Windows Power Management (W.P.M.) to:
    - standby when closing lid
    - asks for password after wake up from Anabiosis (standby or hibernate).
    2. Close lid -- notebook go to standby; open lid -- notebook wakes up. Fine.
    3. Close lid -- nothing to do. Open lid - notebook runned a usual, no standby preparations ;(
    4. Go to ThinkPad Power Manager (TP.P.M.) (useful left-click from Big Green Gauge in taskbar) -- all settings looks fine: options, checkboxes etc.
    5. Open W.P.M. -- all settings messed up with random values:
    - "no action" on closing lid
    - "asks for password" checkbox not checked (this field varies through few tests).
    6. Setting up needed options in W.P.M. again, repeat steps 2..3..4 -- nothing changes: W.P.M. saves options for first close lid action, then options messed up.
    ==================================
    As I see, ThinkPad Power Manager builds on top of Windows Power Management and overwrites its options on some actions (power up/power down/close lid/etc) in unsmart way, turn off close lid action and bring *potentially security breach* by resetting option for asking password.
    ==================================
    My other experience on close/open lid:
    - Very old R43 at my work acts fine. TP.P.M. installed.
    - HP 6820s works fine with standard W.P.M.
    - HP nx7010 works fine with standard W.P.M.
    Software versions:
    - ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.44
    - ThinkPad Power Manager: 1.30b
    - All the hotfixes listed in similar topics installed by R&R disks
    ==================================
    I... am... VERY... DISAPPOINTED! (c) Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
    Is there a way to fix this TP Power Management suite behaviour?
    Should I reinstall some of components?
    Can I throw out TP Power Management toys and use WinXP native Power Management, ot there will be some ghosts like "yellow undrivered question marks" in Device Manager?
    Thank you.

    Message Edited by andyP on 04-22-2008 09:37 AM

    I solved this trouble without Lenovo intervention:
    - create clean WinXP Pro setup disk from R&R recovery diskset and install WinXP from it;
    - install all the TP utilities & drivers manually, checking LID Close/LID open actions twice after each program;
    - make full system backup (not R&R way) every 3..4 installed programs.
    Entire process spend one week of my time.

  • Can't uninstall Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8 - upgraded from Windows 7

    Hi all, I recently purchased a Lenovo X230. It was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. I upgraded this system to Windows 8 Pro without any problems.
    I noticed that Windows 8 Pro has some issues with the Lenovo Power Manager, which after perusing this forum seems to be pretty incompatible with Windows 8. I am trying to uninstall the Power Manager in the Control Panel, but I can't find the application to install. I only see an option to uninstall the Lenovo Power Management Driver. Does anyone know how I can uninstall the entire Lenovo Power Manager from my system?

    Backstory: I installed the Power Manager on a clean installation of Windows 8 by setting it to Windows 7 Compatibility Mode.  It seemed to be working swimmingly, until the next day when I tried to use it and discovered that it would always crash on start-up.  Unfortunate.  I naively attempted to correct this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the application.  Strangely, I was able to successfully uninstall the program using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel and then reinstall the program.  But, despite the reinstallation the problem persisted and I tried to uninstall the program again.  It would not uninstall, claiming the installer wasn't compatible with my system.
    Fix: Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{DAC01CEE-5BAE-42D5-81FC-B687E84E8405}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -AddRemove from an administrative command prompt.  This should completely remove Power Manager and it's entry in the Add/Remove Programs console.  The GUID may be different if you were not using the most recent version of Power Manager, I installed 6.36.  The additional power plans that it originally installed are still in the Windows Power control panel.
    I am still wrestling with the Power Manager to get it working somewhat reliably on Windows 8.  I am very disappointed that this level of effort is required on a new system that is Windows 8 compliant.

  • Power Manager for Windows 8.1

    Where is Power Manager for Windows 8.1?  (For ThinkPad Edge series laptops)
    There is a "Lenovo Power Management Driver", but no application/software to go along with it.
    Does anyone know?

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    Please see: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-software-for-Windows-8/td-p/899865
    There is no official support for ThinkVantage Power Manager beyond Windows 7.
    There are reports that some have installed it, but there are warnings that it may(?) clash with Windows 8/8.1 native power management functions and potentially cause system instability.

  • Battery gauge error running Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20

    Last week on my R61 (8932-CTO),  Update Retriever and System Update requested that I download and install ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20. After rebooting, I immediately received an error box with the following message: 
    An exception occurred while trying to run"C:\Progra~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor"
    As a result of this error, the battery gauge no longer displays correctly. The space where it used to be is blank, but clicking the empty space still gives you the option of starting Power Manager.
    What is puzzling about this is that version 5.20 is not available in either in the Driver Matrix, nor on the Downloads and Drivers web page. The version of the software that is presented there is version 5.13.
    The driver for ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP - version 5.20 can be downloaded from:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.exe
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.txt
    Another interesting point, is that this version of the driver has, as yet, not been presented to me on my R500 (2714CTO), although both machine types are listed as supported models.
    Why are Update Retriever and System Update downloading software that apparently has not been officially released yet?  Why is this only happening on my R61 and not on my R500?
    And last of all, why has his software been released when it seems to have an obvious problem? 
    Any explanations would be appreciated.
    ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
    ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

  • HP Power Manager & Set Up Manager Blocked Windows 10

    After the recent upgrade to windows 10 , I can no longer access HP PowerManager, or HP setup mamager.  The message is 'This app has been blocked for your protection' An administrator has blocked you from using this app...Publisher not trusted.   I am the only user, I am the administrator  I am six secnds away from unistalling Windows 10. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Graphics driver and power manager search successful. I went to HP support site itself, key in my model of HP notebook, which is HP Pavilion m6 Entertainment Notebook PC. 1. Then I just look for a list of software I need, select ones I need; that is AMD Catalyst Control Center for Radeon HD 7670M, high definition switchable graphics. Downloaded it and installed. The screen goes black, intermittenly a few times and then when the installation in the back ground is finished, the computer works beautifully with good graphics on the notebook screen as well as my extended extra big screen. Nice experience. By the way it looks like all the m6 uses the compatible drivers, even though the other number may be slightly different like m6-1035tx, m6-1000tx, m6-1009tx . Here is the site I went with my specific modelhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5283110&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&query=B9J98PA#ABG&tool...Go in there and change the model in the search. 2. To look for Power Manager software, put "power manager' in Search.HP Power Manager for Win 7 32 or 64, reinstall well in the Win 8 environment. Win 8 accepts lower versions and works well. Do this only if your system prompt you to reinstall. All the best.

  • Power manager optical drive power off

    I enjoy the feature of automatically powering off the optical drive in power manager. My issue is after reformatting my T530 the option is there until I do an update using the Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update. One of the updates seems to remove the feature from the power manager. Does anyone else experience this and if so, do you know which update does it?

When it does that I can't do anything unless I just use the power button to shut the computer down or use the task manager to "End Process". I do not like to do either of these so I usually just sit and wait for it to fix itself then later it does it all over again.
    Also when I was doing defrag on the file type tab it showed two Mozilla Firefox so I am wondering if this is the issue but I only see one in the control panel.
