  1. Presence sensor settings missing in Settings


    I have a new Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 which has presence sensors that are enabled by default. The problem is that Lenovo has removed the adjustments for the sensors from the Windows 11 Settings app. Instead you must use Lenovo Vantage to adjust the sensors. That doesn’t work well for two reasons. It seems that there are more options available in the standard Settings app than what Lenovo provides in their Vantage app. Vantage likes to serve up ad notifications in the middle of Zoom sessions for paid services from Lenovo. I would like to permanently disable Lenovo Vantage, if possible.I have this

    GPUz Suggestion: set all sensor values to Min/Max/Ave/Current

    In running benchmarks and testing a video card, I often set all of the sensor values to Max or Min.

    Currently, you have to click on each of the sensors to see the Max readings (or any reading). It'd save a lot of clicking time to have a means to set all of them at once.

    GUI suggestions,
    1. Add 4 options to 'set all' to the current menu
    2. Right click option to do it.
    3. Checkbox on the front end dialog sensors tab GUI
    4. ?

    Not sure if that's been requested before. I know you can see that info in the log file ...it's just more steps.

    Current GUI menu:

    Missing Sensor settings

    Hi,

    I dont have "sensor settings".



    I only have:



    Menu - Control Panel - Settings -General - and only sensor but no sensor settings.

    I can only choose displayrotation, but there are no click control and turn around control (directly translatede from norwegian to english)



    I bought my e75 in Norway, I'm from Norway.

    Presence sensor settings missing in Settings

    Why are my presence sensing settings missing in action?

    I am running WIN 11 Pro OS and despite my screen off/sleep settings my screen keeps going off every time I walk away. I got as far as "Screen and Sleep" with the instructions from the link below, then the trail went cold. There were only four drop downs there to adjust the screen off and sleep time settings. There wasn't an option to automatically turn on/off the screen when I leave or approach ANYWHERE. No mention of "More options" either so the actual presence sensing settings are missing in action. I'm at a loss. Are the settings located somewhere else or is this old information. I know it says "Windows 11" but we know Microsoft changes settings and things more often than they probably change their underwear so... I can't really be confident that this information is current. Can anyone offer any advice here?
