Selecting a power plan
A power plan manages how the computer uses power and helps you conserve power and maximize
performance.
The following power plans are available:
●
HP Recommended. Automatically balances performance with energy consumption.
●
Power Saver. Saves power by reducing system performance and screen brightness.
●
High Performance. Favors performance, but may use more energy.
You can also create your own power plan and customize it to how you use the computer for your
needs.
Use HP Power Manager (select models only) or Windows Control Panel to select a power plan or to
create your own plan.
To start HP Power Manager, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > HP Power
Manager.
To access the Power Options in the Control Panel, select Start > Control Panel > System and
Security > Power Options, and then select a power plan from the list.
