{Guide-Windows} Removing the Lenovo Paper App

[Sandman45654]

After a certain Windows update Lenovo Paper decides to pester you with a UAC prompt with each and every boot! If you're sick of it like I was and would like to remove the program I will explain how in this short guide. The only thing Lenovo Paper does is provide a popup shortcut to OneNote when you press the pen button on the keyboard, that's it! Everything else functions exactly the same with Lenovo Paper removed.
Guide
Method 1:
1. Hold the Windows Key and tap R on your keyboard. Enter "taskschd.msc" into the Run box.
2. Scroll down to "Active Tasks" in the center column.
3. Locate and double click "LenovoPaper". If it isn't listed click refresh and check again.

4. In the right-hand column click "delete".

5. Sign out of your account.
6. Sign back into your account and delete the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\LenovoPaper" folder.

Method 2:
Paste the following text into Notepad and save it as "RemoveLP.reg". I have included a premade REG file as well.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\LenovoPaper]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks\{581929DB-ECDC-47BA-8BA5-9E8DB58C2218}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\bam\UserSettings\S-1-5-21-3209572867-2098836868-865137110-1001]
"\\Device\\HarddiskVolume4\\Program Files (x86)\\Lenovo\\LenovoPaper\\LenovoPaper.exe"=-

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3209572867-2098836868-865137110-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Store]
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Lenovo\\LenovoPaper\\LenovoPaper.exe"=-

2. Merge the REG file to delete all of the registry keys Lenovo Paper creates.
3. Reboot your Yoga Book.
4. When the Lenovo Paper UAC prompt appears SELECT NO.
Clicking YES allows Lenovo Paper to launch, recreating the registry data and locking the program files.
5. Delete the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\LenovoPaper" Folder.

Now you can enjoy a prompt free log in once again!

THANK YOU!
Not only did you solve this for me, but also you are the first to actually explain what in the world LenovoPaper actually did.
Now I don't get the annoying UAC prompt, NOR does my Yoga open OneNote shortcut every time I activate the pen.
So three benefits from your post: 1. now I know what LenovoPaper does, 2. stopped the UAC prompt, and 3. stopped the OneNote shortcut. If only Lenovo support were as clear and conscise as you.
Again, thank you.
