I'm having problems setting the default power scheme for my laptop
Dear all,
I'm trying to startup my laptop on balanced power setttings, as I'm getting annoyed at having to constantly have to switch to balanced, in order to save battery power from the default 'High Performance' setting.
I went onto the windows help and found the following:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...=ws.10%29.aspx
The command line is: powercfg -setactive SCHEME_GUID
Having used the command 'powercfg -list' It gave me the following:
Existing Power Schemes (* Active)
Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (balanced)
Power Scheme GUID: [necessary string] (High Performance) *
Power Scheme GUID: [necessary string] (Power Saver)
I inputted the following: powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e and restarted my computer only to find that the 'high performance' setting was still the default one.
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
