Power plan by registry

[ricky03]

Hello,

how can I create a power plan and activate it only in writing in the registry?

thanks in advance for your help

not possible because of hardware guid based if I remember.

you can set power plan by using "powercfg -change montior-timeout ... -change disk-timeout ..."

Thats right. You can see the GUID with /L parameter.

powercfg /L

But you can import a configuration to a specified GUID, if i remember.

POWERCFG -EXPORT <Filename> <oldGUID>

POWERCFG -IMPORT <Filename> <newGUID>

I used that when I did my WinRE and did the import before capturing the Image @ OOBE by pressing Shift+F10

EDIT:

I know, this is no reg, but may help anyway

You could also add the following command to RUNONCE if you are able to put the POW-Files somewhere (here in C:\Windows\POWER for example):

POWERCFG /IMPORT C.\Windows\Power\Balanced.pow SCHEME_BALANCED
POWERCFG /IMPORT C:\Windows\Power\Minimal.pow SCHEME_MIN
POWERCFG /IMPORT C:\Windows\Power\Maximal.pow SCHEME_MAX

Because u can use these aliases instead of the GUID
