The three types are designed to balance power savings while providing performance on demand, maximize power savings, or maximize performance. Many system components use the power plan type to deciding whether to optimize power savings or performance. 101 Power plan type 102 Require a password to unlock the computer when it wakes from sleep. 103 Require a password on wakeup 104 Specify how long your computer is inactive before going to sleep. 105 Sleep after 106 Specify how long your computer is inactive before hibernating. 107 Hibernate after 108 Allow Windows to save your work and enter a low-power state so that you can resume working almost immediately. 109 Allow hybrid sleep 110 Enables system to show a progress bar during transitions to sleep. 111 Enable Sleep Progress Bar 114 On 115 On 116 Off 117 Off 118 No 119 Specify sleep settings. 120 Sleep 121 Allow Windows to use the standby states when sleeping your computer. 122 Allow Standby States 123 Yes 124 Allow Windows to automatically wake your computer from sleep on a timer for scheduled tasks and other programs. 125 Allow automatic wake from sleep 126 Specify how idle your computer must be before it can automatically go to sleep. 127 Required idleness to sleep 200 Configure notification and alarm settings for your battery. 201 Battery 202 Specify the action to take when the battery capacity reaches the critical level. 203 Critical battery action 204 Specify the action that your computer takes when battery capacity reaches the low level. 205 Low battery action 206 Third Low Battery Alarm Action 207 Third Low Battery Alarm Action 208 Fourth Low Battery Alarm Action 209 Fourth Low Battery Alarm Action 210 Flags and settings for first low battery alarm 211 First low-battery alarm flags 212 Specify whether a notification is shown when the battery capacity reaches the low level. 213 Low battery notification 214 Flags and settings for third low battery alarm 215 Third low-battery alarm flags 216 Flags and settings for fourth low battery alarm 217 Fourth low-battery alarm flags 218 Percentage of battery capacity remaining that initiates the critical battery action. 219 Critical battery level 220 Percentage of battery capacity remaining that initiates the low battery action. 221 Low battery level 222 Percent battery power remaining when third low-power action should be taken. 223 Third power trip point 224 Percent battery power remaining when fourth low-power action should be taken. 225 Fourth power trip point 250 Specify what your computer does when you close the lid and press the power buttons. 251 Power buttons and lid 252 Specify the action to take when you press the power button. 253 Power button action 254 Specify the action to take when you press the sleep button. 255 Sleep button action 256 Specify the action that your computer takes when you close the lid on your mobile PC. 257 Lid close action 258 Specify the action to take when you press the Start menu power button. 259 Start menu power button 300 Specify power management settings for your hard disk. 301 Hard disk 302 Specify how long your hard drive is inactive before the disk turns off. 303 Turn off hard disk after 304 Allow the system to adapt the harddisk power down timeout based on system usage and recent history. 305 Enable adaptive powerdown timeout. 306 The harddisk may reduce its speed after the specified time of inactivity is detected. 307 Harddisk lowspeed timeout. 308 Allow the system to adapt the harddisk lowspeed timeout based on system usage and recent history. 309 Adaptive lowspeed timeout 350 Specify power management settings for your computer s processor. 351 Processor power management 352 Processor performance settings which allow the system to lower processor performance (and power consumption) if the system is not doing any work. 353 Processor throttle setting. 354 Disable any processor power savings. 355 Disable 356 Lower the maximum frequency of the processor. Irregardless of the workload demands, the processor will run at a reduced frequency, thus drawing less power. 357 Lower maximum processor frequency 358 Adaptively lower the maximum processor frequency, based on remaining battery life. Irregardless of the workload demands, the processor will run at a reduced frequency, thus drawing less power. 359 Adaptively lower the maximum processor frequency. 360 Adaptively adjust the processor frequency based on workload demands. This setting will significantly reduce power consumption of the processor, while have very little effect on performance. 361 Adaptively adjust processor frequency. 362 Specify the maximum performance state of your processor (in percentage). 363 Maximum processor state 364 Specify the minimum performance state of your processor (in percentage). 365 Minimum processor state 366 Processor power CState settings 367 Processor power CState settings 368 Processor power PerfState settings 369 Processor power PerfState settings 400 Specify power management settings for your display. 401 Display 402 Specify how long your computer is inactive before your display turns off. 403 Turn off display after 404 Extends the time that Windows waits to turn off the display if you repeatedly turn on the display with the keyboard or mouse. 405 Adaptive display 500 Allow programs to prevent your computer from sleeping. 501 Allow programs to prevent sleep 502 Yes 503 Query applications and services 504 No 505 Do not query applications and services 510 Enable or disable passive cooling policy on the system. 511 Passive Cooling Mode 515 Specify the brightness level of your display. 516 Display brightness 517 Don't allow Windows to automatically wake your computer from sleep on a timer. 518 No 519 Allow Windows to automatically wake your computer from sleep on a timer. 520 Yes 550 Allow away mode to be enabled for your computer 551 Allow Away Mode Policy 552 Don't Allow away mode to be enabled 553 No 554 Allow away mode to be enabled 555 Yes 600 PCI Express Power Management Settings 601 PCI Express 602 Specifies the Active State Power Management (ASPM) policy to use for capable links when the link is idle. 603 Link State Power Management 604 Turn off ASPM for all links. 605 Off 606 Attempt to use the L0S state when link is idle. 607 Moderate power savings 608 Attempt to use the L1 state when the link is idle. 609 Maximum power savings 700 Allow processors to use throttle states in addition to performance states. 701 Allow Throttle States 702 Specifies the policy for devices powering down while the system is running. 703 Device idle policy 704 Favor performance over power savings. 705 Performance 706 Favor power savings over performance. 707 Power savings 708 Ignore a burst of disk activity up to the specified time when determining if the disk is idle. 709 Hard disk burst ignore time 710 Idle timeout before the system returns to a low power sleep state after waking unattended. 711 System unattended sleep timeout
