How do I change the Power Mode for Windows PC?

Windows allows you to adjust the focus of your PC to either power efficiency or improved performance.

  • When set to Best Power Efficiency the computer will slow down processes in order to conserve power.
  • When set to Best Performance the computer will run faster and consume more power.

Most PCs are set to the Balanced setting, which is a good mix of power efficiency and performance.

To change your power mode please visit the Microsoft Help Article, Change the Power Mode for your Windows PC (Opens in a new tab).
