Then, the settings for the Lenovo Power Manager seem to disappear, and the battery charges to 100%. Everything is fine - the settings stay put and charging goes as expected - until I shut down the computer. (I don't recall that either of these steps was too difficult - the trick was to install the Power Management Driver in Win 7 compatibility mode.)Īnd it worked! For months! I could set the battery charge and hold thresholds in Lenovo Power Manager 8 (which is what the above installed) and yes I was happy about this.īut suddenly, it has quit. Following the instructions of somebody-or-other, I installed the Lenovo System Interface Foundation, and the Power Management Driver.
So, I got an X220 with a quite decent battery, and decided I didn't want to kill it like I had killed all the others. And this is an issue for me, since I usually use my Thinkpad in a docking station. I was really tired of killing batteries by charging them to 100% all the time. Make sure you download the latest ADK file. The boldfaced part is what the application is called in the Compatibility Administrator In the window that opens, there should be passage of text likeĬompatibility fix applied to C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\PWRMGRV\Setup.exe.įix information: Lenovo Power Manager,, 0x10161. In the large middle pane, double click on the event with a timestamp that matches the blocked message. In the left-hand pane, navigate to Application and Services Logs-> Microsoft -> Windows ->Application Experience -> Program Telemetry In my case I additionally had to set the program to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Right-click the exe-file with the hard block and select Disable entry In the large pane on the right-hand side there should be an entry AppHelp - HARDBLOCK In the left-hand pane under System Database (32/64-bit) -> Applications, look for the corresponding application (if you can't find a good match, you can look it up in the Event Viewer, see below) x#adkwin10 (when you install Windows ADK, choose only Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT))įrom the start menu, run the Compatibility Administrator, either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version depending on your application Install the Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit ( adksetup for Windows 10) from. The following workaround fixed it for me: The blocking mechanism is a so-called hard block and is applied by the Program Compatibility Assistant. Lenovo Power Manager doesn't work because the Setup file is blocked. I found the following procedure online which solved my problem with Power Mananger.
