    The Vaio Control Center comes with an option to cap battery at 80% to increase longevity, and I used it. However, after the last updates, for some reason it turned it off and every time I check the option/apply/okay it reverts back to off and charges to 100%. Any ideas?

    Bios, Windows updates, pretty much everything that was available two days ago and not a month ago. Some bios update, two windows updates, registry cleaning... I actually think that's it.

    Where would I get those programs? I see "Control Panel Updater" in Sony Support Drivers, but I'm not certain that that would work if I actually uninstall it.
