I can’t find the battery meter option either, and I searched high and low for that.

I believe mine is missing some options from previous versions as well but I can't recall what's missing besides the hot key/function key features. I'm on an X1 Yoga Gen.2.

All the versions I tried were full of spyware. So never installed.

You can install the enterprise version which afaik is basically the old version.

Can't find the battery gauge reset button and gone for win7 for a while to use Power Manager.

Lenovo vantage is a good tool for me

you guys dont need vantage, just install Legion Toolkit and there you go

Yes. Hybrid mode, thermal performance mode, conservation mode, and quick charge all do things that can't be achieved through Windows settings alone. I would recommend keeping it.

Update bios and system drivers, I think best to keep it unless you know how to do it manually.

Yes. Definitely keep it for three reasons:

1. You can view your warranty there in case something goes wrong, you can tell the Lenovo Service Center that your unit still has warranty.
2. You can change some cool settings in there
3. You can easily update your drivers with a press of a button. Way better and more time saving than updating through the Windows Device Manager.

I uninstalled Vantage and just use Lenovo Legion ToolKit. Least bloatware possible, only has settings I care about.

There should be a faster way to change the battery charging threshold when you want to turn off or on

Hopefully this isn't as stupid a question as it feels like, but what's a "Lenovo Vantage setting"?

Always on port should be off for battery saving and on if you need the convenience. I disable the webcam be default along with the mic.

Yup, thats the 'new and improved' version of vantage that is actually worse in every way compared to the old one. You can remove it if you feel like going through the trouble and installing the old version (you can find it if you google for the enterprise version), that one still has all the features and is still fully functional.

Try Pressing “Fn” + “spacebar” see if it change

If the RGB option does not appear in lenovo vantage it means your laptop does not come with them. Look back at your order and see specs if you see "White Back lit keys" then your laptop does not change colour beyond the three white brightness options.

Yes the RGB option

I have a pro 7i 2024 model and I don’t think I have the brightness option either. Are you talking about the RGB options? Can you clarify?

I’ve sent a log to Lenovo employee on Lenovo Forums and he told me that the model number on my mainboard is wrong, or maybe the mainboard is wrong; so Vantage does not detect it as gaming laptop.

Several months ago I sent it to service because of the common Hybrid Mode - black screen issues and they changed the motherboard. It’s really funny that where as my black screen problem still has been not even solved with a motherboard replacement, now I also have a wrong motherboard (or motherboard with wrong number on it) on my laptop. In other words, I’ve sent it with an issue and returned with two issues one of which is new!

To be honest, I regret my choice for sending it to repair and of course my choice for Lenovo. Guys, I’ve bought that laptop from an another country. The reason for that is the prices in my country are extremely high. In Germany it was 2/3 of that price so I’ve bought from there. At least it was a little bit more affordable.

Another thing, I’ve bought that laptop for my university studies. The repair process took for me about 3-4 months because I’ve given it to my relative which lives in Germany to send it to repair. He brought when he came back. It’s that long because of these transportation things. I couldn’t send it directly because in my country, customs usually impound expensive electronical devices. Whatever, during that repair time I needed a laptop and tried to carry on my studies on a potato laptop. That’s why I got bored of these service repair things and the problems I’ve experienced.

Sorry to talk too much, but wanted to pour out. I’m able to use my PC of course with some misfunctions. I had used a mid-end Samsung PC, which was way more cheaper, without any trouble for 8 years but it’s not been a year with that Lenovo yet and already tons of problems...

Edit: That’s the topic of the other problem I’ve experienced. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/f7bkh5/lenovo_legion_y540_screen_issues/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Did u try the Lenovo recovery USB?

It's normal, it takes 2-3 days of windows update n vantage gets refreshed with all features unlocked. It was same when I received my new y540. Install vantage beta from Microsoft store.

Is the problem solved now?

They basically removed the main two things it was useful for toe the 7x:

1. Updates. For this laptop all updates are handled by windows update.
2. battery saver. They removed the options from the firmware, for whatever reason, and lenovo really aren't saying

Same thing here. Vantage is just exaggerating, nothing to worry about.
