TVtSched.exe Slowing down Lenovo Machines
I’ve discovered that Tvtsched.exe is sometimes using greater than 70% CPU in task manager on alot of Lenovo PC’s I manage. This software tends to really slow down the machines and they appear to lock up. The program causing this is is called ThinkVantage System Update.
To uninstall this:
Goto Add/Remove Programs and find ThinkVantage System Update and click remove.
When asked to remove other files click Yes.
While you are here also uninstall the ThinkVantage System Update Toolbar Button for IE.
Note: You can also stop the service called TVT Scheduler in Control panel-> Administrative tools -> Services and mark it is disabled at startup if you cannot get to all your machines in person. Pushing this disabled setting out via group policy might be better if you have many machines and are time short.
