Hello after using SpyShelter on my ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 laptop I noticed it drains a good amount of my battery life and I’m not sure if there is a way to silence or reduce the allow or deny notifications when they can be unnecessary in some cases
Sorry for the issue. I use SpyShelter on a notebook myself and I’m not seeing this battery usage issue, but I have different hardware than you. I will ask the other people on our team who use notebooks to analyze the battery usage carefully on their devices with our latest software so we can try to reproduce the issue.
With notifications, you can set them up however you want. If you don’t want allow/deny notifications at all go to the top middle of the “Protection” tab and set your mode to “Easy” or “Suspicious”. Our guide is here: SpyShelter Detailed User Guide – SpyShelter Help
However, I don’t believe these modes should help with battery usage. You should be able to use any settings and get a lot of notifications and SpyShelter shouldn’t use much battery. A notification, and the service that makes it shouldn’t use many resources at all.
Also, if you go to our top right cog icon and choose “About” may I ask what SpyShelter version you use?
I also use SpyShelter on a notebook and I’m not seeing any battery usage issue.
I’m using version 15.4.0.970
That is our newest version. For Battery Usage, what software do you use that shows we are using too much battery? Do you use the built in Microsoft software, or is it a third party software?
Can you click my name here, then send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing (if it has private info)? Or just post it here if you want.
