Automate notebook boot-up at high performance

I rather doubt that - you are configuring the Power Options which will be recorded in the Registry and will not change until you change them.

 

There's no need to change that manually. You can set your power plan exactly how you want it, so it will do one thing while on battery, and another thing when plugged it.

From Power Options, click change plan settings next to your selected plan. Next click the link Change advanced power settings and click Change settings that are currently unavailable.

Now you can change whatever you want, including the processor power management, and for both cases (on battery & plugged in).

 

That's never going to happen.

 

Maybe they could edit the shut down screen-> "Hey Ivan - did you set the machine back to High Performance? "

Then there's the issue of shutting down in Low mode and wanting to boot back up in Low Mode...What's a guy to do?

I have yellow stickies plastered all over my monitor

 

My question is this:

Why are you concerned at all about power saving? Unless you travel a lot or use the notebook for extended periods at coffee shops or hotspots, there's no real need for power saving, i.e. no need to be concerned about battery power as long as you travel with the charger at hand.

I've had my laptop set to run at full performance whether plugged in or on battery. I stll get about 3.5-4 hrs use on battery and the battery is 3.5 years old.

The only things that differ in my power settings are those settings for turning off the monitor and shutting down. If on power supply, the monitor turns off after 20 min and on battery it turns off after 5 min and shuts dopwn if battery gets low., otherwise it runs the same settings for powered & battery.

I never use hibernate and if plugged in I never use standby.

 

I guess it says something that it doesn't. There's no need for anything like this.
