By default, Windows 10 come with three power plans: High Performance, Balanced, and Power Saver. These plans are designed to quickly let you switch a group of hardware and system power settings (like display, sleep, etc). Your PC can have additional power plans defined by its vendor. These power settings affect how long your battery lasts and how much power your PC consumes. It is possible to customize these power plan settings. In this tutorial, we will see how to revert your customizations and restore the power plan defaults in Windows 10.
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses power. Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, or achieve a balance between the two. You can create custom power plans that are optimized for specific computers.
By default, all users (standard and administrator) can make changes to any power plan settings. Changes made to a power plan will affect all users that have chosen the same power plan as their default active power scheme.
This tutorial will show you how to specify a default active power plan for all users that cannot be changed in Windows 10.
