Windows 10 has several integrated energy plans, and others that we can create, in order to optimize in the most appropriate way the use of everything related to, as the name says, the energy in the system , this covers aspects such as:
- Access hibernation or suspension status
- Turn off the monitor and much more.
The power options are really useful to manage the state of our equipment both in use and at rest, especially if we have a laptop and battery life is quite important. The different options that we know to manage the operation of our team are Suspend , hibernate or Shut down. In addition, within the plans that we can find and manage within our Windows 10 we have the following:
Economizer
Plan that consists of minimizing the performance of the PC in those moments that are possible thus saving all the possible energy.
High performance plan
It focuses attention on improving the performance of the equipment although it requires greater energy consumption.
Recommended or balanced
This energy plan allows you to automatically adjust the energy consumption with the required performance.
Each of these power plans are basically a series of configurations that change the way hardware and software make use of operating system resources and this is ultimately reflected in a longer battery life, energy saving and more. TechnoWikis will explain the various ways to access these power plans in Windows 10..
