    How do you prevent these messages from popping out at the bottom of the screen? It's very annoying.

    I'd like to keep it as I like the other diagnostic options and how it shows up the warranty. But if there's no other way, uninstall it will be. :)

    Right click on the toolbar and go to toolbar at the top of the menu. On the cascade menu, uncheck Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox. Close the menu. A popup will show up and select "I don't want to receive notifications at this time." When you want to run the toolbox, just manually run it.

    Thanks. I think it worked. The option was well hidden. :)

    No problem. Took me a while to figure it out too before but like you, I can't stand those notifications!
