Changing power settings

You can change power management settings, such as the power button function and power-saving timers, by changing power settings in Windows. You can also adjust power schemes and adjust advanced power settings.

Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options such as when the computer display or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.

Advanced power settings let you assign different power saving modes to the power button.
