autounattend.xml High Performance power plan

aristosv · 23 Nov 2019

In previous versions of Windows 10, a default installation would have 3 power plans, and you could simply make a choice. Now only the "Balanced" power plan exists and you have to create whatever plan you want.

Using Windows System Image Manager, I created an autounattend.xml file that pretty much works the way I want it to.

I am now trying to figure out how to create and use a "High Performance" power plan using autounattend.xml

Anyone done this already? I could use some help.

Thanks

Hello aristosv,

Maybe you can use an option in the tutorial below to help restore the default High Performance power plan in autounattend.xml file.

That was actually very helpful. With just 2 commands in autounattend.xml the job was done.

powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
powercfg.exe /setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

Thanks!
