Export and Import Power Plan in Windows 10  

Hello @SM03,

Sure, you could create a .bat file to run the commands in the tutorial for any specific power plan GUID you wanted to export and import.

can you guide me through the process please?

Just to verify since this is not something one would usually do often, you want to make it easier to export power plans as needed?

If yes, then you would just need to create a .bat file with the command in step 4 of Option 1 in it for the power plan you want to export. You will have to right click on the .bat file, and click on "Run as administrator" whenever you want to use it. Another option is to create a shortcut of the .bat file, and set the shortcut to always run as administrator.

Please let me know if you need more on this.

Here is a batch script I made to export and import power plans, the script also includes a few other options. @SM03 I hope you will find it useful.

Hello @Brink ,

A quick question please.

On my test install I Deleted the High Performance Power Plan.

I then Restored it using > Restore Missing Default Power Plans in Windows 10, but it gave me a different GUID to the ORIGINAL. I think I am correct in saying that the ORIGINAL GUID [ Win 10 Pro ] was 48569655-ebee-4428-b456-512f207cddc2, but the Restored GUID is 9ecad398-82e0-4bbc-9ea0-0195ffa54f14.

I have customised the Restored High Performance Power Plan to my liking, and I would like to know that if I was to Rename it, Export it, and then Import it to the Clean Install, it will still leave the ORIGINAL High Performance Power Plan there from the Clean Install please?

If that is the case [ I have setup a Variable in my Batch script for the Desktop Path ], then this is what I thought I would do:

To Rename the Power Plan . . .

Code:

powercfg -changename 9ecad398-82e0-4bbc-9ea0-0195ffa54f14 "My_Customised_Power_Plan"

To Export the Power Plan . . .

Code:

powercfg -export %POW% 9ecad398-82e0-4bbc-9ea0-0195ffa54f14

To Import the Power Plan [ into the Clean Install ] . . .

Code:

powercfg -import %POW% 9ecad398-82e0-4bbc-9ea0-0195ffa54f14

Thanks in advance.
