Overview

Administración de energía del VAIO is a software program developed by Sony. The most common release is 5.0.0.11300, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up.

Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named spmgr.exe. The setup package generally installs about 23 files and is usually about 20.7 MB (21,700,617 bytes).
