Technical

Adding the setting to Power Plan advanced options:

1. Open Registry Editor (you might need admin rights, I didn't).

2. Export your current registry entries so you have a backup, just in case.

   • Click "File" in the top left, then "Export." Name and put the file where you want.

3. Using the left-side navigation, go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7

   • Make damn sure you're in the correct place before proceeding.
   • You should see these essentially...

   Name         Type          Data
   (Default)    REG_SZ        (value not set)
   Attributes   REG_DWORD     0x00000001
   Description  REG_EXPAND_SZ @%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-727,Specify how processors select a target frequency when allowed...
   FriendlyName REG_EXPAND_SZ @%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-728,Processor performance boost mode
   

4. Click Attributes.

5. Change Value data to 2

6. Now, Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. Change Plan settings or create a new plan.

7. Select "change advanced power settings"

8. Open Processor power management.

9. Open Processor performance boost mode.

10. Change Aggressive to Disabled for both options.

    • or you can choose one of the efficient modes also.

11. Hit Apply.

12. Change for other power plans you plan to use.
