We refer to that moment in which we are obliged to give priority to the performance of the equipment, or the duration of the battery, that is, autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>As it could not be otherwise, in this sense Microsoft tries to make things easier for us as much as possible. This is something that integrates with Windows 10 itself, allowing the user to customize the operation of the system depending on those needs. This what it does is adapt both the system itself and the applications that work on it, to the choice we make.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_58 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-655df82510584\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-655df82510584\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/configure-windows-for-better-performance\/#Battery_or_power_its_a_matter_of_priorities\" title=\"Battery or power, it&#8217;s a matter of priorities\">Battery or power, it&#8217;s a matter of priorities<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/configure-windows-for-better-performance\/#Differences_between_the_four_power_modes_in_Windows_10\" title=\"Differences between the four power modes in Windows 10\">Differences between the four power modes in Windows 10<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/configure-windows-for-better-performance\/#Making_the_best_decision_to_save_battery_is_up_to_us\" title=\"Making the best decision to save battery is up to us\">Making the best decision to save battery is up to us<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_or_power_its_a_matter_of_priorities\"><\/span>Battery or power, it&#8217;s a matter of priorities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Therefore, it is important to know that Windows 10 PCs have four levels that refer to this topic that we discussed. These are called Battery Saver, Better Battery, Better Performance, and Maximum Performance. As you can imagine, this will allow us to prioritize one of the two sections that we have mentioned: power or autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, in these lines, we are going to try to show you how to customize that Windows power and performance control depending on the needs of the moment. Say that for this configuration, we can make use of an accessible slider that we find in the system taskbar. This allows us, quickly and easily, to adjust the consumption and power of the system at all times. So we can change this whenever we need it in a matter of seconds, which will affect the operation of the equipment immediately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-755 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?resize=640%2C296&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?resize=1024%2C473&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?resize=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?resize=768%2C354&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?resize=350%2C162&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Battery-or-power.png?w=1300&amp;ssl=1 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Credits: How to greek<\/p>\n<p>In this way, when switching between the four modes that we mentioned, at first glance what we do is prioritize the battery of the equipment, or its operating power. But in reality, what Windows 10 itself is doing is a series of internal adjustments that are transparent to us. Say that the number of options available in this regard varies somewhat depending on whether or not we have connected the laptop to the electrical grid.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences_between_the_four_power_modes_in_Windows_10\"><\/span>Differences between the four power modes in Windows 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While this customization can be carried out on both computers based on AMD and Intel platforms, it is not available on devices with ARM64 processors. Thus, in the first two, we can choose one of the four energy modes. But of course, our ability will also come into play here, since the effectiveness of the modes will depend on the decision made here.<\/p>\n<p>To give us an idea and to make the right decision, we will tell you the basics of each mode of operation. First, we&#8217;ll start with Battery Saver, which helps conserve power and extend battery life. This is done when the laptop is not connected to the power grid. To do this, some Windows features are disabled, limited, or behave differently than usual. At the same time, the brightness of the screen is also reduced. For its part, Best Battery mode offers longer battery life than the default Windows settings. The system itself will place us as the recommended operation on many occasions, instead of the Best performance mode.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-757 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?resize=640%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?resize=1024%2C557&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?resize=300%2C163&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?resize=768%2C418&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?resize=350%2C190&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wikitechupdates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Differences-between-the-four-power-modes-in-Windows-10.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Credits: Addictive tips<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_the_best_decision_to_save_battery_is_up_to_us\"><\/span>Making the best decision to save battery is up to us<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned before, this is a slider that we find in the battery icon on the right side of the taskbar.
