📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the purpose of different Windows power modes, with the original poster questioning the need for modes like High Performance and Power Saver given that Balanced mode dynamically adjusts resources. A responder suggests that power modes are still useful for users to manually control power consumption, as automatic adjustments are made by the system. The original poster then inquires whether there are still benefits to manually switching between Balanced and Performance modes in current Windows versions.

Windows provide 3 defined power modes: 1) Power saver, ii) Balanced mode, iiii) High Peformance

I read from articles that Balanced mode increase resources (i.e. CPU speed) on performance seeking tasks, and decrease resource when less requirement.
My question is when balanced mode analyze resource need and automatically tune to high performance mode or power saver mode configuration , then what is need of other power modes like high performance mode and power saver mode?

the need is a human decides when their laptop powers down to save power... not the software
High Peformance = butt out Microsoft

to be fair they can all be overridden so the point is less now days than it was back when you first started asking
