Situatie
On Windows 11, a power mode (or plan) is a group of specific hardware and system settings (such as screen brightness, sleep, and others) that controls the use of energy on a computer.
By default, Windows 11 uses a “balanced” power mode that automatically balances performance with energy consumption on capable hardware. However, depending on your device or situation, you can change the power mode to save energy (and battery life) or increase performance at the cost of more energy consumption. In previous versions, you were able to set the preferred power plan from the Battery button in the taskbar. However, on Windows 11, you can only configure these settings from the Settings app or Control Panel.
