Hello, TPFANCONTROL Software Designers!!! OK, WOW, SUPER, TRICK, WICKED, SPLENDID, BRILLIANT, OH YEAH!!!- THANK YOU!!! When upgraded from Windows 7 64 Bit, to Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, TPFANCONTROL was reinstalled. no issues. ThinkPad T510 is kept cool & the App is EASY to use & set up.

Just installed this on a brand new Lenovo P14s Gen 2 because the fan was going constantly while 'Better performance' or 'Best performance' power mode was selected, even while idle. Working flawlessly so far. I recommend using the setup option for installing TP Fan Controller as a system service (which you can also do post install if you look at the readme.txt), so you then won't have the system notification always visible. Clearly Lenovo's own power management drivers are flawed as the fan speed is never reduced while idle unless you switch to 'Better battery' power mode, which defeats the purpose of having such an expensive and powerful laptop.

I am amazed that this works for my Thinkpad L590. It has been running so hot that I can't sit with it on my lap; I actually bought a laptop cooler, which works but is clunky to move around. After I installed the tpfancontrol I actually had control over the fan and could make it turn on when needed (the first time I could actually hear the fan working). After working out the point at which the laptop got too hot, I was able to use the ini file to set the fan on at a particular temperature. Now it works like a charm. No more hot knees!

The app has a an option in the task tray that says "FAQ/Google" or something like it. When you click it, you get directed to what seems like a phishing website that alerts you of viruses etc and loud beeps blasting from you PC. I do not trust the app any more because of this. It looks like malware to me.
