While Lenovo Vantage Service is an excellent tool for PCs, it’s not exactly new technology.

However, the application is still a standalone service that allows Lenovo PC users to enjoy some extra features for free.

#CAN I UNINSTALL LENOVO VANTAGE HOW TO#

I spend a lot of time tweaking and making changes to my own systems (including ThinkPads) in order to make them easier and more productive to use by me, but I wouldn't dream of making those same kinds of changes to someone else's system(s) because they are going to have a different ideas about how to use their computer(s) and how they like them to behave.Most of Lenovo Vantage’s functionality is similar to the features on many other Windows PCs. Otherwise, the user may end up spending an hour or two on the phone with the computer manufacturer's tech support getting the system back into a working state because they got some bad advice from the Internet. The general rule of thumb when advising someone about their computer is "do no harm." Don't make changes, reorganize users' files or delete things unless you get their permission first, and maybe not even unless they specifically request it and you've already made (and verified) a backup (or two) of the system, just in case "something" happens.

Now, Jared-, you may decide that there's software in the pre-load that you yourself don't utilize or need, and that's fine, but it could be that Mettalknight does need in order to make use of the ThinkPad, and simply suggesting that he blow away the factory pre-load and re-load drivers could leave him without access to things like the ExpressCache software which allows the small internal SSD to cache I/O from its larger HDD, make use of the third-button below the TrackPoint, use multi-touch gestures on the TrackPad, run Lenovo's own diagnostics, check warranty status, or even make use of Microsoft Office, if a license was obtained when the ThinkPad was ordered.

There is no "bloatware" in the Windows 10 factory pre-loaded OS images for Lenovo's ThinkPad. The programs which are there are largely third-party device drivers or ThinkPad-specific software to manage the the hardware controlled by those drivers. I know for a fact, no one should be using Thinkvantage Password Manager when there are LastPass and 1password programs around. If you need a password manager, or whatever function this programs do, you will have more luck searching online and picking the most popular option. If something goes wrong, you can factory reset again, but i am certain it will be OK

This should not really affect you, since you don't need to use lenovo apps to change settings and use all your hardware, since Windows and other programs you install are perfectly capable to do it, if you need.

most proprietary programs (not drivers) are usually much worse then the programs you actually want to use. Windows is perfectly fine handling the hardware by itself. all of this is the stuff you are most likely don't need, or will ever use.

also you can remove the 2 THINKVANTAGE entries too. the ones that start with USB sound like drivers you might want to keep just in case.Įverything else sounds like JUNK. Ok, i never owned a lenovo and you probably have more success with googling the names of each individual entry to see what they do.īut i am pretty sure that you can remove anything that starts with LENOVO, except the 2 entries that start with USB.
