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 → System → Power & Battery → Power mode.
- Select Best performance.
For desktops, you can also fine-tune through Control Panel → Power Options → Create a power plan → High performance.
💡 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 — ideal for creative professionals, gamers, and developers who demand maximum speed.
