Presence sensor settings missing in Settings

Hello, BruceMorris.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, it seems that you are dissatisfied with Lenovo Vantage.

You would like to adjust the presence sensor through the Windows settings.

In general, specific settings will appear in Windows Settings when you are using hardware that is supported by Microsoft or utilizes Windows APIs.

For example, most laptops have a webcam, but only some support Windows Hello facial recognition login.

For some devices, a piece of hardware may inherit multiple functions, or multiple functions may be concentrated in one type of hardware. Such hardware may not be very suitable or convenient to interface with Windows settings, which is why some manufacturers start to create software to act as an intermediary for easier interaction.

When multiple applications attempt to access a single device simultaneously, problems may arise, including conflicts that result in only one function working properly.

For issues with Lenovo Vantage, I suggest you feedback to the Lenovo community.

Based on my experience, Lenovo's presence sensing settings may not be something that can be made compatible with Windows settings through registry edits, and you should consult the notebook manufacturer for specifics.

Hope the above explanation can help you learn more.

If you have any other questions I can help you with, feel free to ask.

Best regards.
