Change Power Scheme From Windows Command Prompt
| Posted by watashii | Filed under Software
If you have a laptop, Windows provides different power schemes that you can switch (or create your own) for power management. You can switch your power scheme the same way using the command prompt using the powercfg utility.
To list all the available power schemes, open the Windows command prompt and run powercfg /list
C:\Users\Watashii>powercfg /list
