powercfg

Most Windows 10 users have never explored the powerful diagnostics that lie just beneath the surface of their operating system, and one of the most undersung among them is the ability to generate a rich, detailed energy report. This report, when used properly, isn't just another technical...

When it comes to squeezing more juice out of your Windows machine—whether you’re coaxing an aging ultrabook through a workday or revving up a neon-lit desktop for a late-night gaming session—the silent engine room behind much of your experience is the power plan you choose. Like a...

I'm running Win 11 on a Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, and my system is up to date. I recently lost the ability to have my notebook power up when I open the lid. So, I went to the Power Options setting in Control Panel setting for advanced power setting and looked at both Samsung Mode and Balanced Mode...

Hi So I got this tremendous slow machine with specs we cannot change... However I´ll try to boost and speed it up as much as possible. Windows build: S Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OS Version: 10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045 OS Manufacturer: Microsoft...

I am playing a Microsoft game and every time I go away for a few min the screen would turn off but then the PC hangs when I move the mouse or from keyboard. So I am trying to edit the power plan so that it won't do that anymore with the below request but it is not working. POWERCFG...

After the system goes to sleep once I awake it it hangs at the Windows screen (where time is shown left corner). After a bit I'm greeted with BSOD stating... DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION This is a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1909 18363.535. When I hit the power button (after the diagnostic runs...

This is what I'm seeing: How can I trace down who 4&232151f9&0 is? Under Device manager I can see (5) ROOT_HUBs so that doesn't help. All of them removed allow under power management. Any ideas how to precisely find out which one is responsible? Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to speed up long start times. In order to facilitate fast startup I need to enable hibernation. I had this option enabled, but now it's disappeared somehow. I tried bringing it back by using an elevated command prompt: Powercfg /hibernate on That didn't work, so what can I do next to...

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...

How can users check from commandline (!!!) if hibernation is currently on or off? When I search through the Internet then thousands of articles describe how to turn it e.g. on e.g. by powercfg -H on But what if I just want to let Win just show the current state WITHOUT to change it? Is there...

I can put my system to sleep and it will wake up after about 5 seconds. I found something I had not seen before and was wondering if anyone knew what it was. As far as I know, I do not have any streaming music happening. I just changed my power settings to see if the Multimedia Streaming...

In the 9841 build, if you were running Nvidia multi-monitor displays, the Nvidia Control panel was put in a situation where is was not able to make changes to monitor configuration (or anything else) because some app was open and needed to be closed. The open apps it would refer to were apps...

I have recently (about 4 weeks ago) purchased an Asus R510J, a laptop with pre-installed Windows 8.1. It was running rather smoothly apart from some painful differences I notice coming from Windows 7. The one issue I started to notice however, was that when waking it up in the morning it would...

If a game or video is running, the computer will not go to sleep, which I want it to after the specified idling. Is there any alternative to "powercfg" to manage sleepblockers? IE a graphical userinterface? I cannot make "powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE XXX" work, IE when a user has an audiostream...

If you upgraded to the Windows 8.1 preview before the RTM was available on your Surface RT, you may have noticed that your connected standby battery life has been significantly reduced. During the preview, turning on (yes, turning ON) Bluetooth acted as a fix. The problem actually lies within...

So after reading a lot about how to run the report and open it (yes it does not open from the CMD prompt) I was able to find the PCI vendor and device code and ascertain I have the latest drivers from those manufacturers (Gigabyte and ALI). Mainly the USB Root Hub and the USB Mass Storage items...

I was looking at the switches for the powercfg utility and noticed there seemed to be a new one in 8.1, /sleepstudy. When I try it, the message says it will not run on my system. Has anyone tried it yet?

Hi, I have a problem where my custom win 7 computer won't sleep. The PC will wake 5 seconds later after i push sleep.. No devices are showing up as armed in the CMD with powercfg. When i go to last wake it shows nothing. I have disabled all settings like media sharing and in device manger. If...

I was running Windows 7 for a long time with no problem. It would sleep and wake up just fine. One day, it would not go to sleep any more. I never got to fix it before upgrading to Windows 8. After upgrading, the system still would not go to sleep. I did some research and basically found...
