Why is there a power manager program for Thinkpad x240 for Windows 8?

rephase .. missing KEY word .. Why is there NO power manager program for the Thinkpad x240 on Windows 8?   There is one for Win 7.

    Hi Ran,
    Thanks!
    I haven't tried it yet.
    In the meantime i did more testing and found out that even with only Power Manager version 2.41a installed the latest Intel Pro wireless driver also supported by lenovo is not stabel and FN-F5 or windows network connection also fails to switch the radio back on after a reboot when the radio has been turned off first ;-(
    Reading http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67283
    over and over I decide to revert back to the old Intel wireless driver listed on this page.

  • 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.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Edge E540: Power Manager for Windows 8.1?

    The Thinkpad Edge E540 currently comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, Windows 8 added as recovery disk. It is also suffering from an issue, where the fan will spin unnecessarily fast until going to standby and waking up again.
    As a solution it was suggested to use the Power Manager utility [1]. However, the download page [2] lists the Power Manager only for Windows 7 (and indeed it won't install on Windows 8.1). 
    Does this mean that the Power Manager is not available for Windows 8? If  it isn't, will it be?

  • Thinkpad T540p Battery Manager for Windows 8.1

    Hi, I recently bought a Thinkpad 540p and wanted to know a way for stopping the battery from getting charged after a certain level. Its a very common feature to stop a battery from charging say after 80% and run on AC power supply direclty.
    Other lenovo laptops do support it, under various apps like Energy Manager, or Power Manager but I am not able to find any such options/app on my laptop?
    Thanks,

    This is almost the correct solution but there are minor things that should be done before fully using Lenovo Power Manager.
    As you said, begin by installing power manager in Windows 7 compatibility mode. But then make sure that the following executable
    C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities\PWMOSDV.exe
    is added to the startup, so that its automatically started when system reboots.
    Also open services.msc and change the setting of Lenovo Power Service to automatic.

    Hi,
    We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
    Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
    can read reg value as exempel.
    IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
    I found this

    You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

  • Power Management for HDD's and screensaver

    Hi all
    Here some specs of my 'old' trusty sys:
    Intel 2.26GHz
    1GB DDR
    Gfx nVidia V6200
    1xATA(Seagate) + 4xSATA(Maxtor's) HDD's in the range of 200-300GB each
    Samsung SyncMaster 930BF
    LiteOn and NEC DVD/CD reader/writers
    The HDD's brings me to a little question, in the past (before ArchLinux) i've used to have power managment to put the 4 SATA HDD's (S.M.A.R.T supported) to sleep after 10 or 15 minutes inactivity or so. Is there something similar for ArchLinux? A GUI for Xfce4 for that kind of power management would be cool but is not nescessary.
    And I was thinking of a cool screensaver, any sugestions?
    I thank you'll in advance for any suggestions and advices.

    As for the screensaver, the GLMatrix screensaver is pretty nice if you have direct rendering working.
    I think you can use hdparm to enable hard disk power management.  It is a CLI-only tool, but why not use CLI?   Tbh, it is much easier for me to do configuration stuff in CLI rather than use a GUI for it.

  • Multiple Library Manager for Windows

    iTunes is the only library manager for iTunes.
    Use the shift key depressed while opening iTunes option. This allows you to pick a library for use during that session.

  • Problem mit ThinkPad Power Manager Desktop Windows 8.1 Thinkpad W530

    Hallo Zusammen
    Ich habe auf meinem W530 Windows 8.1 installiert.
    Ich habe von der Lenovo Website folgendes Tool heruntergeladen und installiert "ThinkPad Power Manager Desktop Windows 8.1". Das hat alles soweit geklappt.
    Nun wollte ich die Einstellungen ändern, es zeigt mir aber nur den Netztbetrieb an ich kann keine Einstellungen ändern für dne Akkubetrieb (Siehe Bild)
    Hat jemand eine Ahnung wie ich die Einstellungen für den Akkubetrieb ändern kann.
    Ich bin fast am verzweifeln, denn der Energie-Manager von Windows ist absoluter schrott, der Akku ist ständig leer.
    Besten Dank
    Chrigge
    Gelöst!
    Gehe zu Lösung.

    Dank für deine Antwort.

    Ich habe es ausprobiert, aber es ändert sich garnichts an den Einstellungen, weder wird die Bildschirmhelligkeit verringert noch hält der Akku wirklich länger.
    Ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Windows einstellungen den Powermanager von Lenovo übersteuern.

    Ansonsten wenn du denn Akku länger halten willst unten auf Maximale Energiesparung klicken.

  • Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8

    Hi guys,
    Since Lenovo Power Manager is not available for Windows 8 (no matter my laptop is specified to be FOR Windows 8... grrrrr...) I've been playing around because I needed not the infamous power gauge taking space in my taskbar, but some advanced settings.
    Well, I found a couple of things:
    Power Manager (g6u432ww.exe) can be installed in Windows 8 and can be used. Even the power gauge.
    To install it, you have to run the setup in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
    It doesn't work very well: sometimes it crashes or the UI won't open (at doesn't open anymore, no matter what you do). But it does run the first time (use it before restarting) and you can change battery settings and some other stuff anyway.
    Do create a Restore Point before, because is not created automatically and because you won't be able to uninstall it later, since the setup expects Windows 7.
    If you install Lenovo Settings Dependency Package (gfsd02ww.exe) after that, Power Manager gets upgraded from version 6.36 to 7.11. But still crashes.
    Settings regarding battery charging are kept, no matter you restore Windows using system restore. So you can create a Restore Point, install Power Manager, change battery settings, and then restore Windows.
    Is not a solution (I'm still expecting for Lenovo to fix this support for Windows 8). But at least I was able to stop the battery from charging all the time.
    This has been tested on a ThinkPad Edge S430.
    One important question left is:
    Why Lenovo Power Manager 7.11 can't be downloaded and installed normally? I couldn't care less for the Metro Store Apps and bulky gadgets. But I want to be able to change some settings.
    Cheers.
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

    There's a stickied thread at the top of this board which explains / discusses ThinkPad software for Windows 8, hopefully the information you are looking for is there.
