Lenovo Quick Settings

A small, borderless Windows tray app for quick access to the Lenovo hardware settings on a Lenovo Slim 7 14ILL10 (83MC).

The app calls the same installed Lenovo controller agents used by Vantage and verifies each change by reading the hardware state back. It does not substitute Windows power-overlay settings or write guessed registry values.

Controls

• Adaptive power mode (Auto)
• Battery saver
• Performance
• Conservation mode (start charging at 75%, stop at 80%)
• Zero-touch login (wake and use Windows Hello when you approach)
• Zero-touch lock (lock automatically when you walk away)
• Optional silent notification-tray startup with Windows

The panel never creates a taskbar button. Closing or minimizing it hides it in the notification tray; left-click the tray icon to reopen the panel, or right-click it for direct controls.

Download a GitHub Actions build

1. Open the repository's Actions tab.
2. Select Build Windows executable.
3. Open a successful workflow run.
4. Download the LenovoQuickSettings-windows-x64 artifact.
5. Extract LenovoQuickSettings.exe from the downloaded ZIP.

The executable is a personal, unsigned Windows utility, so Windows may display a SmartScreen warning after downloading it.

Build locally

Run:

.\LenovoQuickSettings\build.ps1

The build uses the .NET Framework C# compiler included with Windows and writes:

LenovoQuickSettings\dist\LenovoQuickSettings.exe

No Lenovo binaries are copied into the repository or bundled into the executable. Lenovo's installed Vantage add-ins are discovered at runtime.

Install

After building, run:

.\LenovoQuickSettings\install.ps1

This installs the executable under %LOCALAPPDATA%\LenovoQuickSettings, enables silent tray startup, and creates Desktop and Start-menu shortcuts. Use -NoStartup to install without enabling startup, or -NoLaunch to avoid launching immediately.

To remove the installed app, shortcuts, and startup entry:

.\LenovoQuickSettings\uninstall.ps1

Requirements and scope

This project intentionally targets one computer rather than providing broad Lenovo model compatibility. It expects Lenovo Vantage's IdeaNotebookAddin and SmartInteractAddin under %PROGRAMDATA%\Lenovo\Vantage\Addins and discovers the newest complete version of each add-in at startup.

The GitHub-hosted runner can compile the executable, but it cannot run hardware integration tests because Lenovo's drivers and add-ins are not present there.
