The first thing that will help you determine whether a file is a legitimate Windows process or a virus is the location of the executable file itself. For example, a process like Energy Manager.exe should run from C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Energy Manager\utility.exe and not elsewhere.

To confirm, open Task Manager, select View -> Select Columns and select Image Path Name to add the location column to Task Manager. If you find a suspicious directory here, it may be worth investigating this process further.

Another tool that can sometimes help you detect bad processes is Microsoft Process Explorer. Launch the program (no installation required) and activate "Check Legends" in the "Options" section. Now go to View -> Select Columns and add “Verified Signer” as one of the columns.

If the Verified Signer process status is listed as Unable to Verify, you should take a look at the process. Not all good Windows processes have a verified signature label, but none of the bad ones do.

There is a utility that makes the cooler spin in the opposite direction, which cleans it of dust. But I can't find it. Tell me where can I download it?

This is the first time I've heard about such a utility.

Some versions of the Lenovo Energy Management utility have a dust cleaning function,

but there this is done by increasing the fan rotation speed.

I find this method ineffective.

It is necessary to periodically disassemble the device and remove dust with a brush/brush or blow it with a stream of compressed air.

Yes, I agree with murzik. Disassembling and cleaning with a brush + vacuum cleaner is the best option.

It is also very advisable to wipe the table where the laptop is located more often. Preferably with a damp cloth.

And chase cats who like to settle next to the laptop or even on the laptop

For example, I still can’t wean mine from this habit.

My bandit, unfortunately, does not sleep on the table. She sometimes sleeps on the shelf above the table.

But if I was sleeping, I wouldn’t drive. The sight of a sleeping cat is calming and pleasant to me.

And my cat is generally cunning.

It just doesn't work on laptops.

But if you don’t let her eat in the morning, she specifically goes to the laptop and starts pacing there.

The laptop, like any computer, generates heat.

Cats love warmth.

System 64 bits, Processor: Intel.

The utility is called Lenovo Energy Management

All the details are here – https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=801790&st=440#entry72050549

But the fact that your cooler is spinning in the opposite direction is where you made a mistake.

Riva Tuner

Suitable for all versions of Windows to control the operation of the cooler. The utility is easy to use and free. To change fan settings, follow a few simple steps:

Open Riva Tuner
Find advanced settings
Fan section

There are sliders for three positions, move them

After the changes, click “OK” and exit.

Adjust the cooler speed based on the state of the computer. Maintain the optimal temperature by changing the program.

Installation progress

Run the downloaded file hwi_610 .

2. We get to the installation wizard.

3. We accept the license agreement.

4. Create a folder to store files.

5. Shortcut in the start menu.

WiFi does not start on Lenovo laptops

How to enable WiFi on a Lenovo laptop or an ideapad netbook from the same manufacturer if the adapter does not find a wireless connection on its own? You can manually record DNS addresses.

Note! Go to “Network Connections”, right-click “Wireless Networks”, click “Properties”, then find IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4), select it, click “Properties” again. Include everything as shown in the picture and enter the numbers in the lower boxes. Then the laptop reboots and the connection is connected automatically.

Wi-Fi may not turn on after reinstalling the OS. This process may not install all drivers. Some antivirus programs can also restrict free access to Wi-Fi. Therefore, you need to carefully review the enabled settings on your antivirus.

Not every Lenovo model has a wireless connection module activated initially. Sometimes you need to perform some actions to launch it.

First you need to find out what is wrong - the laptop or the router:

Note! If the laptop does not “see” the router at all, you can first restart the router. To do this, you need to unplug it from the outlet for a minute or turn on the start button.

Sometimes it is not possible to use the established network channel. Then you need to look at the router settings:

When the laptop does not recognize its own router, but notices foreign connections, you need to go to the settings of your own router:

Note! What to do if there is no Wi-Fi module at all? In some Lenovo models, this issue is resolved through the BIOS.

The laptop reboots and while the reboot is in progress, press the F2 key. In the BIOS that opens, go to the Configuration section, find the Wireless LAN item in it, and press Enter. Then, point at the Enab led sign and Enter again. Then go to the Exit section, press F10 and Enter again. After the restart, the WiFi module will be installed in the manager, and the WiFi symbol will be installed on the panel.
