bug in Lenovo Power Manager ?

#1 Post by pjc30943 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:23 pm

On my w530 I created a new power profile in Lenovo Power Manager, but no matter how many times I change it to NOT require a password on wakeup from sleep, the settings keep reverting from 'No' to 'Yes' (as in Yes, require password).

I open Power Man as admin, change 'Yes' to 'No', click apply and verify that it says 'No'. Then i close power manager and reopen it, and it once again says 'Yes'.

What is going on?

Which OS on what? I don't use PM for that function. I set it in Win 7.

Double check the power settings in Win 7. Something might have got lost in translation between PM and Win 7 power manager.

Actually I just uninstalled lenovo power manager, but there is no change. The computer still goes to sleep after 2 minutes, even though everything in Win 7 power options is set to "never". Argh.

Have you checked the settings in the BIOS, if any?

I checked the BIOS, and there is no sleep setting in the version on my system.
