Dell Power Manager Lite
by Compal Inc.
Overview
Dell Power Manager Lite is a software program developed by Compal. The most common release is 1.0.0.1, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. 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 setup package generally installs about 50 files and is usually about 18.14 MB (19,021,879 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 72% of users of Dell Power Manager Lite come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Brazil.
