Toshiba Satellite laptop, Windows 10, ver 1709 I've noticed something strange concerning my battery's state of charge. When I run my PC, the battery always stops charging at 80%, which is normal for my device. However, when I start my PC a short time later, same day, the battery indicator in...

I have aToshiba Satellite laptop. It's used mainly plugged in. For those times I'd like to use it unplugged, I want to extend the battery's life as much as possible since this model laptop has a battery that is very hard to replace by the average user. Is it good policy to run it only on...

I've been running Win10 on my (old) laptop for about 6 months now. In the last few months I've noticed some problems with power management. 90%+ of the time the laptop is on my desk, plugged in. (Which I know is not ideal for battery life.) But when it's unplugged, sometimes it has issues. *...

Hello. I have a HP Pro 608 tablet that has many bugs. 1. Most annoying is that the battery icon at the taskbar indicates that the tablet is always plugged. If I disconnect the power adapter, no change with the icon occurs plus there's no change in the screen brightness even if I set it to lower...

Hey everyone, to prolong battery life I would like a tool, program, way to have my laptop stop charging, when the battery is at 80% (or more?!) of its capacity. To then wait for it to drop to 40% and only then start charging again. This obviously can only be a temporary tweak (e.g. when the...

Hey everyone, for my convenience I already created Desktop Shortcuts [to cmds I created] to switch between power plans before starting or having just quit a high performance or idle program. However it would be really neat, if I could tie clicking certain exes in the taskbar to entering that...

This is a variant of "Windows 10 won't stay in Hibernation". I've unchecked any tasks with "Wake the computer to perform this task" and in any case there is nothing scheduled for 02:55 and 14:55. Has anyone else experienced this?
