Windows power Plan Rename, backup, and Restore methods

By default, WINDOWS10/8/7 has three projects in common power plans: Balance, high performance, and energy saving, you can change these 3 plans according to your needs, or you can create new power plans based on existing plans.

　　Create a custom power plan

To create a custom power plan based on the system's existing 3 plans it's easy to just open the Control Panel-hardware and sound-power options and click the Create power Plan on the left.

Whether the system has built-in or user-created power Plan configurable options are many, but the adjustment configuration is very simple, here is not detailed, you can configure on demand.

　　View the list of power plans

Windows 10 does not synchronize custom power plans after you log on with Microsoft account, and it is necessary to export your custom plans if you have more changes to your customizations and are configured to be complex.

　　You can use the following command to back up the Power plan:

Powercfg-export D:sysgeekscheme.pow GUID

Powercfg-import D:sysgeekscheme.pow

Powercfg-setactive GUID
