When that doesn't work, I just use the slider (only available in the new power manager). If it doesn't set one day, it might set after the reboot. Although the power policies seem to not set sometimes, it doesn't seem like it permanently gets locked/broken either. It looks like the new power manager from Lenovo has fixed the problem somewhat. You may need to do this step below, in between steps 1 and 2 in the original post. (Optional Step 6) Go to and set LastID key to the number of the last policy. If everything works fine, I wouldn't touch it. Someone responded that you can additionally do these steps if you have trouble creating additional power polices after you reboot. Optional Step.if you've for some reason deleted the GlobalPowerPoilcy\Policies key, then you gotta have it. its been a major bug that's been around for years. Set "CurrentPowerPolicy" to an existing number. Renumber these (the profile numbers on the left panel) starting from 1.Ħ. (close first if its open, as the registry needs to reload), Open up the registry (regedit.exe) and go to: ĥ. Don't worry about not being able to set them.Ĥ. Create any custom profiles that you want. (This action will create 4 default profiles when none exist.) Don't worry about not being able to set them just yet.ģ. (close first if its open) Open up a Power Manager. It will NOT set.ĥ Steps in getting this problem handled once and for all.ġ. ![]() then try switching back to a profile that is higher than #50 (like number 90). Rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitorĪnd switch to any profile policy #50 or below (like number 10) which should set. For verification of the problem, start up the background process again by going to start-> run: you'll notice now (by referring to the registry's profile numbers) you can now set any profile in that list, even profile policies above #50. Start up a foreground instance of power manager, go to start -> all programs -> thinkvantage -> power manager. Terminate the both instances of power manager, open up the windows task manager (taskmgr.exe), go to processes tab, and just to be sure that we kill the process, kill all that say rundll32.exe. This is because when there is a background policy of power manager is running, it won't let you set policies where the number (according to the registry) is above 50. Newly created (or even default policies won't set). ![]() Every time the power manager is accessed, it will create approximately 4-10 additional default profiles due to a bug.īug #2. If it doesn't contain any information, your list of profiles in the power manager will be blank. This is because the lowest numbered Profile Policy in the registry is blank. ![]()
