ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU) is a software application that helps you keep the software on your system up-to-date, by downloading and installing software packages (TVT applications, device drivers, BIOS flashes, and other third party applications). Some examples of software that you should keep updated are programs provided by Lenovo, such as the Rescue and Recovery program and the Productivity Center program.
