Setting or changing a power scheme

The Power Schemes tab in the Power Options Properties dialog box assigns power levels to system components. You can assign different schemes, depending on whether the computer is running on battery or external power.

To set a power scheme:

1.Right-click the Power Meter icon in the notification area, and then click Adjust Power Properties.

2.Click the Power Schemes tab.

3.Select the power scheme you want to modify, and adjust options in the lists on the screen.

4.Click Apply.
