Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox Windows 7

  

Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox has been sunset and replaced with Lenovo Solution Center (LSC). LSC is available on our support site as a complete application, and in modular form to allow memory and HDD to be tested via the web, independent of installation of the full LSC client. Since all current support is for LSC, we recommend customers uninstall older versions of Toolbox and update to LSC.

How does Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox work?

Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox periodically checks system health during idle time; the default is once a month, but can be set by the user under the Settings link in the upper right hand corner of the application. The application uses a Toolbar icon to notify you if a condition occurs for which your attention is required or recommended.

Additionally, if permitted by the user, Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox synchs once a day to Lenovo for support and other messages. Included are contextual messages of products and services that are intended to improve your experience. No offer messages present without your permission and no personal information is gathered.

Does Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox run in the background?

No. Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox only launches when you press the Blue Button on ThinkPads running Windows 7 systems, click on the Toolbar icon, or select the application from the start menu. Additionally, the application runs a periodic, scheduled health check to make sure that the PC is running properly, and synchs daily with Lenovo for support and other messages relevant to your PC.

Why does Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox place an icon on my Windows task bar?

How does a Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox know what messages are relevant for my system?

Processing of all Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox messages is completed on your PC. Here is how it works. Lenovo develops a message that it believes will be relevant to certain users under certain sets of circumstances. Information about this message is placed in a manifest (a collection of many messages). When the PC synchs with Lenovo, it collects the manifests based on some large granule information (all T60s, for example). The PC sifts through the manifest and, if a message is found to be relevant to the current state of the system, the PC synchs to Lenovo to pull the message and display to the user.
