An introduction to Lenovo programs
This topic provides a brief introduction to Lenovo programs. Depending on your computer model, some of
the programs might not be available.
Access Connections ™
(Windows 7)
The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for
creating and managing location profiles. Each location profile stores all the
network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network
infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place
to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network with no need to
manually reconfigure your settings and restart the computer each time.
Active Protection System
™
(Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and
Windows 10)
The Active Protection System program protects your internal storage drive (such
as hard disk drive) when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a
condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration,
or shock.
The internal storage drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating.
This is because when the internal storage drive is not operating, the system
stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of the
drive to areas that do not contain data.
As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again
(minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns on the internal
storage drive.
Auto Scroll Utility
(Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and
Windows 10)
This program enhances your experience with window operation. The window
position of a foreground application is automatically adjusted. On the Windows
8.1 operating system, the scroll bar on a user interface is also automatically
adjusted.
Communications Utility
(Windows 7)
The Communications Utility program enables you to configure settings for the
integrated camera and audio devices.
Fingerprint Manager Pro,
Lenovo Fingerprint Manager, or
Touch Fingerprint Manager
(Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)
If your computer comes with a fingerprint reader, the Fingerprint Manager Pro
program, Lenovo Fingerprint Manager program, or Touch Fingerprint Manager
program enables you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your
passwords. As a result, fingerprint authentication can replace your passwords
and enable simple and secure user access.
Hotkey Features Integration
(Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and
Windows 10)
Hotkey Features Integration is a utility package that enables you to select and
install utility programs specifically for the special keys and buttons on your
computer. The special keys and buttons are designed to meet accessibility and
usability requirements. Installing related utility programs enables full functionality
of the special keys and buttons.
Lenovo Companion
(Windows 8.1 and Windows 10)
Your system’s best features should be easy to access and understand. With
Companion, they are.

system health and update, check the warranty status, and see accessories
