How to Change Power Mode in Windows 11 [Tutorial]
Power Mode is an essential feature for all kinds of mobile computing with batteries inside. It allows users to easily switch between a better battery life mode or the best performance mode for their computing devices.
In Windows 11, the feature has moved from the battery slider to stay inside the Settings app. If you have a hard time locating the power mode settings, here we have a step-by-step guide for you.
On Windows 11, power modes ("power plans" or "power schemes") are collections of settings to manage the power usage of a device. The system, by default, uses the "balanced" mode that optimizes the power for performance and battery. However, you can always change the setting to "best power efficiency" to prolong the battery life as much as possible, or "best performance" to get the most performance out of the device but increasing the power usage.

On Windows 11, a power mode (or plan) is a group of specific hardware and system settings (such as screen brightness, sleep, and others) to control the energy on a computer. Windows 11 uses a “balanced” power mode that automatically balances performance with energy consumption on capable hardware. However, depending on your device or situation, you can change the power mode to save energy (and battery life) or increase performance at the cost of more energy consumption.
