| - | A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses power. Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, | ||
| - | |||
| - | Changes made to a power plan will affect all users that use the same power plan as their default active power scheme. | ||
| - | |||

| - | ***Balanced** = Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don’t. This is the best power plan for most people. Allows you to change your Power Mode. \\ | ||
| - | ***Power saver** = Saves power by reducing PC performance and screen brightness. If you’re using a laptop, this plan can help you get the most from a single battery charge. \\ | ||
| - | ***High performance** = Maximizes screen brightness and might increase PC performance. This plan uses a lot more energy, so your laptop battery won’t last as long between charges. \\ | ||
| - | ***Ultimate Performance** = Only available in the Windows 11 Pro for Workstations edition by default. Provides ultimate performance on higher end PCs. It builds on the current High-Performance policy, and goes a step further to eliminate micro-latencies associated with fine grained power management techniques. As the power scheme is geared towards reducing micro-latencies it may directly impact hardware; and consume more power than the default balanced plan. The Ultimate Performance power policy is currently not available on battery powered systems. \\ | ||
| - | ***Custom** = These are custom power plans created by a user on the PC and/or included by your PC manufacturer (OEM). \\ \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | This tutorial will show you how to choose a power plan to be the current active power scheme used by default for your account in Windows 11. | ||
