Computers have features that many do not use, although they can noticeably improve the system. For example, the power mode appeared in Windows 98, but few know about it.
Using it, the user can distribute and save battery power. You can also shut down one of the options. And finally, using one of the energy-saving modes, you can save electricity. Of course, this option is unlikely to greatly affect the situation with one PC, but at any enterprise you can solve problems with high scores.
Computer energy
Many people want to know how to turn off power saving mode. But, before talking about this, it is worthwhile to understand what most requires energy in a PC.
As practice shows, the monitor and the hard drive are demanding. For example, a display usually works in normal mode when both units are involved: horizontal and vertical. In this case, it can take up to 100 watts.
In standby mode, the horizontal scan is turned off, but the monitor can return to its normal state very quickly. But you can save up to 90% of energy consumption. If you use the mode in which the vertical scan is disabled, you can save 10-15% of energy consumption.
The hard drive works about the same. It can be sent to standby. Before this, the PC will save all the final work of the programs. And after it will stop contacting the hard drive.
Hibernation works a little differently. In this case, all information about the current state of the operating system is stored on the hard drive, so you can quickly get back to work. This option will not require energy to save data.
There is also a "hybrid dream" that combines the features of the previous two modes. He saves the files of open programs in RAM, and creates a hibernation file to save system data.
Power supply
By default, almost all modes are immediately present on the PC. Therefore, many want to know how to turn off the power-saving mode. All information on this topic is located in the "Power" menu.
To get to it, you need to click on the battery icon in the tray with the right mouse button. Thus, a list of options appears in which you must select "Power".
You can also use the "Control Panel". To do this, click on "Start" and on the right we find the desired line. A dialog box appears with a list of system functions. In it you need to find "Power".
Power plan
In the new dialog box, you’ll have to figure out how to turn off the power-saving mode. Two plans are immediately available to the user: balanced and economical. The system recommends using a balanced one, since it keeps a balance between the performance and power consumption of a PC.
The economical plan will not help turn off the energy-saving mode in Windows 7, since it is designed just to save energy in absolutely everything.
A high-performance plan is also available in the system, but it is hidden. In this case, the system can start all the necessary and unnecessary processes, so the energy consumption of the computer will increase markedly.
Setting up a plan: laptop
Before you think about how to turn off power-saving mode, you can try to set up a power-saving plan. In the left column, you can find the function "Create a power plan." Here you can enter the name of the new plan, and then start the setup.
If you have a laptop, then two columns of settings will be available to you: “On battery” and “On network”. Therefore, each parameter will have to be configured separately for different situations. If you always use a laptop from the network, then for the "On Battery" mode, you can not touch anything at all.
In terms of power supply, you can set the time after which the display will be darkened or turned off, as well as the inclusion of sleep mode. It is difficult to recommend anything in this case, since it all depends on the user.
Setting up a plan: computer
How to disable power-saving mode on a computer? Here the situation is somewhat different. One could say that doing it is easier. When you get to the power plan creation menu, you see only two parameters that you can configure:
- display off;
- Putting the PC into sleep mode.
If you want to completely turn off energy saving, you can choose not a specific time, but the item “Never”. In this case, the display will never turn off, and the sleep mode will turn on.
Editing existing power plans
On the computer, the energy-saving mode works the same as on the laptop. You can adjust existing settings, as well as additionally configure power settings.
In this case, it does not matter what version of Windows you have. How to disable power-saving mode on the computer in this case? You need to open the line "Change advanced power settings", and then carefully look at all the available configuration options.
Customization options
At the top of the dialog box are the available standard plans. Near the selected mode, it will be indicated that it is “active”. Then you can start editing it.
For example, you can configure the operation of the hard drive. If you understand the system, you can try to set a certain time, after which the hard drive will be disabled. If you do not understand this business at all, it is better not to do anything.
Next, you can configure how Internet Explorer works. Here you can change the frequency of the JS timer. The default setting is maximum performance. Below you can adjust the desktop background settings. In balanced power mode, slide shows are available. If necessary, you can disable it.
Next, you can configure the wireless adapter and its power saving. The default setting is maximum performance.
Below, you can turn off the energy-saving mode of the Windows 7 computer. In the “Sleep” line, you can find not only sleep mode, but also hibernation, which is in laptops. If you don't need any of this, you can simply set it to zero or Off. But there are tons of useful settings.
For example, you can set the time after which the PC goes into sleep mode. Next, you can enable hybrid sleep mode, and below set the time after which hibernation will turn on. The last setting item is also very important. Here you can configure the wake up timers.
Perhaps you have encountered such a problem that you sent the PC to sleep mode, and after a while it turned on by itself. This usually happens because some system events are set that awaken it. To prevent this from happening, you can turn off the timers.
The parameters have the option to temporarily disable USB ports. Below you can configure how the device will behave when you press the power button. For example, you can set a command for it, in which the PC will not turn off, but go into sleep mode. There is also a setting for the laptop cover.
Below you can configure the processor power. Adjust the minimum and maximum state, as well as the cooling policy.
You can immediately adjust the screen.
Screen power consumption
How to disable power-saving mode on an LG monitor? The following tip is suitable for any other display model. Remaining in the dialog box with additional power options, you can continue to configure the screen. The user can change the time of the monitor, as well as adjust the brightness.
In the first case, you can select the time after which the screen will turn off completely. You can also try adaptive brightness control. It allows you to monitor light sensors to determine changes in lighting and select the desired brightness level.
BIOS
And finally, how to disable the power-saving mode in BIOS? First you need to switch to this mode. Next, you need to find the AI Tweaker section, in which we select the EPU Power Saving Mode line. This is the setting for power saving mode. Therefore, it will be enough to put Disable in front of it, which will disable it.
