# Lenovo Toolkit
**Lenovo Toolkit is a utility that allows you adjust the power setting from Lenovo Vantage, without having to use the slow official app**
_This fork removes the others section because the options in it did not seem to work correctly for me and changes name and branding to Lenovo Toolkit so that it fits with non ThinkPad laptops_
**Power profiles can be quickly adjusted from the tray icon**
**After running, the app windows can be accessed by double clicking the tray icon**
## Supported laptops
- Lenovo Flex 5 14ALC05 (Windows 11)
If your model is similar enough, chances are it will work.
To test, try changing the settings and verify the changes in Lenovo Vantage
## Prerequisites
- [.NET 6 Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-6.0.9-windows-x64-installer)
- [Lenovo Intelligent Thermal Solution Driver](https://www.google.com/search?q=lenovo++intelligent+thermal+solution+driver+download)
- Visual C++ 2015 Runtime
- This comes packed with most Windows software, so you most likely already have this.
- If not, install from here: [X64](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) [X86](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe)
- PowerBattery.dll

2. Enter the link to Lenovo Vantage (https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/lenovo-vantage/9WZDNCRFJ4MV)
