Batch file to toggle between balanced and high performance power plan

Is it possible to toggle between balanced and high performance power plan using a batch file ?

powercfg -s 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

and

powercfg -s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

When set to balanced, toggle to high performance and when set to high performance, toggle to balanced. Without creating 2 differents batch files.

This would be a simple batch that just switches between Balanced and High Performance:

Code:

@echo off



set Balanced=381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

set HighPerf=8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c



for /f "tokens=2 Delims=:(" %%a in ('powercfg /getactivescheme') do for /f %%b in ("%%a") do set Active=%%b



if "%Active%"=="%Balanced%" (Powercfg /s "%HighPerf%") else (Powercfg /s "%Balanced%")

Thank you very much ! It's working perfectly. I pinned a shortcut to the batch in the start menu. It's very quick.

Hello XMcQcX,

If you like, the tutorial below will let you add a context menu to make it east to change your power plan on demand.

Thank you very much for your help. I don't want to touch the registry, I'm using ricardobohner's code.

Cool, maybe you could use cortana to run the batch so you can switch power plan without touching your computer just by using voice command.
