Active Protection System™
Hotkey Features Integration
Lenovo Companion
Lenovo Settings
This program protects your internal storage drive when the shock sensor inside
your computer detects a condition that could damage the drive. Such a
condition includes system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock.
The internal storage drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating.
This is because the drive stops spinning, and the read and write heads of the
drive might also be moved to areas without data.
When detecting that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system
tilt, vibration, or shock), the shock sensor enables the internal storage drive.
Hotkey Features Integration is a utility package that enables you to select and
install utilities specifically for the special keys and buttons on your computer.
The special keys and buttons are designed to meet accessibility and usability
requirements. Installing related utilities enables full functionality of the special
keys and buttons.
