How to really uninstall a Lenovo ACPI-compliant Driver

Hi everyone,

I have a Lenovo Y40, and ever since I upgraded to Win10, my PC cannot read the battery gauge correctly. After doing some research, I realized Lenovo Energy Manager and the Lenovo acpi-compliant virtual power controller driver are the problems. (I hate junkware)

I deleted Lenovo Energy Manager with no problem, but I can't get rid of the Lenovo acpi-compliant virtual power controller driver. Here are the steps I'm stuck with:

- If I go into device manager and uninstall the driver, the driver will disappear, and upon restart, it will show up again as an unknown driver.

- If I uninstall/disable this unknown driver, upon restart/hibernation, it will come back again under 'system devices' as 'Lenovo acpi-compliant virtual power controller driver', as if I didn't do anything.

When this driver is listed as unknown driver or temporarily disabled, my battery gauge issues are immediately resolved. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of annoying drivers like this one once and for all?

Thank you!

 

ACPI Not Compliant??

I restarted my pc today twice and got a bsod that said Bios acpi not compliant. I have had this bios version for 10 months. I hit the reset on the mobo and it started and is running fine. What gives?
