Win8.1 Usage Tips for Power Mode Management Optimization Guide

What are the advantages of power optimization management?

Optimized power management can maintain stable operation of the computer, reduce power consumption of various components of the device, save power consumption, and extend the service life of the battery and components of the device. The equipment can maintain stable, low-energy, high-performance operation for a long time. Because of the previous Windows system, the power control provided by the desktop is less, so the user can only manage the computer power extremely limited. Nowadays, the Windows 8.1 system is designed for notebooks, which optimizes the control functions of the battery and the power supply, so that the user can A more detailed, detailed, and comprehensive approach to managing computer power, reducing the energy consumption of various components of the device from the ground and extending the life of the hardware.

Win8.1 has four power management modes

Through Win8.1 & ldquo; control panel & rdquo;, enter "Power Options", we see four types of power modes.

1.Balance

In the balance mode, the CPU dynamically adjusts the main frequency according to the requirements of the current program, so that the CPU consumes less power in the relatively idle operation state, which is important for notebooks. . In this mode, when the computer is active, it provides all the hardware performance. When it is not active, it automatically enters the power saving state. It is a dynamic adjustment of the device power consumption, heat dissipation, and power consumption according to the current situation. Power mode, suitable for most people. (Tips: Please refer to the specific professional documents for the usage rate of each component)

2.Energy saving

This mode will limit the CPU to work at the lowest multiplier, and other devices will also operate at the lowest power consumption. Although the lowest heat dissipation and power consumption, but the cost is not small — — all parts of the computer can only run at the lowest performance state.

3. High Performance

As the name implies, all the components of the computer in this mode operate at the highest performance. One device consumes the most power, power and heat, but it is also the performance moment. Maintain the strongest power mode.

Balance, energy saving, high performance three power modes

4. Customization

In this mode, users can flexibly configure the first three modes according to their needs, and Select, add, and set up various hardware detail control functions provided by the system to create a unique power management mode.

Custom Mode

Manage your power supply with Win8.1 new function!

Power saving and energy saving with the pin type! Usually when we leave the computer desk, the program is still In operation, the equipment and power are also consumed. Can't use this time, through a power management function, after the computer is idle for a certain period of time, the display can be automatically turned off, and the power is reduced, and the power is reduced. Consumption, extend the life of the various components of the computer?

Balance mode settings

We go through the Win8.1 "Control Panel", enter "Power Options", select “ Change the plan settings & rdquo;, open the "Balance" power mode detailed settings interface.

In this interface, if it is a notebook, it is necessary to set the time limit for automatically reducing the brightness of the display, the time limit for turning off the display, and the time limit for the computer to go to sleep in the battery and power states; You need to adjust the settings for the monitor to turn off and enter the sleep time limit.

We tried to set a power management mode —— for example, set the computer to automatically turn off the display when the computer is idle for 10 minutes, and let the computer go to sleep when the idle time reaches 30 minutes. With such a power management scheme, the computer can effectively get a rest, and in the long run, the power consumption and power consumption of the device can be greatly reduced. Other power mode management settings are also deduced by analogy.

Balance Mode Settings

Energy Save Mode Settings

In Power Save mode, as long as the computer is idle for 5 minutes, Windows automatically turns off the display, idle for 15 minutes, and the entire system goes to sleep. Low power state.

Energy-saving mode setting

High-performance mode setting

In high-performance mode, the computer is idle for 15 minutes before turning off the display, never going to sleep, power consumption, consumption The power is large, but the advantage is that the computer will remain in the highest performance state for a long time.

High Performance Mode Settings

Adjusting PC Hardware with Advanced Power Settings

To fully and carefully manage the power modes of each component, you can go through the above. Change the plan settings & rdquo; interface, enter “ change advanced power settings & rdquo;, through the more advanced options of power management, detailed optimization of the working methods of each component, effectively reducing the power consumption of the computer.

For example, you can set the way to return to the desktop after waking up the computer in balanced power mode. For example, after the computer is woken up, the system automatically switches to the locked login interface, and the user needs to pass the password verification to return to the desktop security mode.

Power Management

People who go out often, accustomed to using a laptop to access the Internet, if the wireless network card has maintained a high power state, it is also very power-hungry, and may shorten the life of the laptop battery Therefore, the following function is very important —— wireless adapter settings, if you just go out with a laptop to send mail, look at the message, you can adjust the wireless adapter to "medium", "low energy" level This can reduce the power consumption, improve the life of the notebook, and extend the battery life.

Wireless network card energy consumption level setting

The power button (body physical button) plays a key role in switching power supply. Using Win8.1 power management function, you can define the function of the power button in detail. For example, if you choose to press the power button, what is the effect? ​​You can set the four functions of sleep, sleep, and power off after pressing the button, and configure the power supply reasonably.

Power button settings

Regardless of the mobile device, the display is “large power consumption” in each component, so fine-tuning the display function is a power-saving shutdown, expand “&ldquo The display “ directory, by setting the time limit for turning off the display after the computer is idle, and enabling and turning off the adaptive brightness of the display, can make the computer intelligently save power, and can automatically lower the screen brightness or even turn off the display when idle.

Display Settings

After experiencing the Win8.1 power management function, does the user have a new understanding of the importance of power management? Yes, a powerful power management function can not only Power saving, prolong battery life, and effectively adjust the working energy consumption of various components of the equipment, effectively promote long-term stable, low-cost, high-efficiency working conditions of computers, tablets, mobile phones and other equipment.
