How to Use Performance Mode for Heavy Tasks

Windows automatically balances performance and power, but you can take control with Performance Mode (especially useful for gaming, video editing, or multitasking).

Here’s how to enable it:

  • Go to Settings β†’ System β†’ Power & Battery β†’ Power mode.
  • Select Best performance.

For desktops, you can also fine-tune through Control Panel β†’ Power Options β†’ Create a power plan β†’ High performance.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip:
If you’re using Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise, you can unlock Ultimate Performance Mode by typing this command in PowerShell (Run as admin):

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

Then select the new plan under Power Options.

It keeps the CPU running at full potential β€” ideal for creative professionals, gamers, and developers who demand maximum speed.
