How to Set Up a Power Plan in Windows 10
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your
computer uses and conserves power. Power plans can save energy, maximize system
performance, or balance energy conservation with performance. The default power plans
— Balanced and Power saver — meet most people's needs. But you can modify settings
for existing plans or create your own plan.
Choose or Customize a Power Plan
1. Find [Windows] icon in the lower-left corner of the screen. Right click it to unfold the
selection menu. Select [Power Options] within the menu.
2. Select [Additional power settings] under [Related settings].
3. The Power Plan of [Balanced] is selected as an example here. Click on the [Change
plan settings] to the right of the power plan to customize a power plan.
4. Choose the sleep and display settings you want your computer to use. Click on
[Change advanced power settings] to make changes to the selected power plan
settings to meet your needs.
5. To restore the selected Power Plan back to its default settings, click on [Restore
plan defaults]
and then click [Yes] to confirm.
6. Click [OK] to finish.
