Is there some way to create a power plan toggle similar to the brightness toggle when clicking on the battery in the notification area? My googling doesn't seem to come up with anything.

My brother favors to choose Shut down when I close the Lid, whereas I prefer Sleep mode.If I change, it changes for my brother's account also.I do not want this.I suspect there might be something useful in Group policy>user configuration but I am not sure.

View 9 Repliesso i migrated from windows 7 to windows 10.im running windows 10 pro,64 bit,4gb ram on intel i3 processor.in windows 7 when i click on the battery icon i can choose the power plan setting immediately. but in windows 10,when i click the battery icon the power plan option is no longer there.i had to go through advanced power setting to get to the power plan settings.so i wonder is there any way to get the power plan setting to show directly when i click the battery icon?i knew there was a workaround by editing registry and showing it by right clicking on desktop instead but i prefer the old way.
View 1 RepliesI have been having some really annoying performance problems after upgrading my laptop from win8 to win 10.
My laptop is a asus ux32vd, with an Intel i7-3517U cpu.(normal core speed: 1.7ghz, turbo: 2.4ghz)
CPU-Z is showing ~990mhz constantly, no matter how high load there is on the cpu, and what temperature it is(usually around 50-60C).
I just cant figure out what is going on, and why it keeps throttling. Everything is running really slow, chrome is slow, facebook is tough to scroll through. Tried resetting the power plans to default, that didnt work. sometimes it works for changing power plan, and the restarting, but its not consistent at all. What it could be?
I recently upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10. When I power down the system from the menu, my computer does not completely turn off. The procedure I use is described below:
Click Windows_Start_button > Power > Shutdown
The system closes applications and appears to initiate a shutdown procedure. Everything appears to be shut off, but my mouse is still lit up. I do notice that the fan stops and everything else appears to be completely shut down. When I was running Windows 7 before my upgrade, my system completely powered down.
I have a dual boot system with Linux, and when I power down from Linux, the shutdown is complete, so I don't think I accidentally did anything to the hardware or BIOS.
My system: Win 10 64 bit Retail, MSI B150M Mortar, Intel i5-6500, Samsung 512GB SSD, Corsair 2 x 4 GB Memory, etc.
Although my keyboard and mouse are allowed to wake the PC from sleep (in Device Manager), they don't wake the PC. Interestingly, pressing the "Power Button" on my Fractal R5 case does wake it up from sleep.
When I press the power button the pc won't shutdown.
By energy on configuration screen every thing stay good
I have a simple, generic keyboard that has Power / Sleep / Wake Up buttons right above Print Screen / Scroll Lock / Pause.
I want to disable them because I always shut down my computer accidentally and lose all my work.
All solutions I found are for windows 7 and are about tweaking in the Control PanelHardware and SoundPower OptionsEdit Plan Settings, where I can edit Advanced Power Settings.
However, that's the wrong thing to do because the "Power button and lid" section is not only for keyboard, it disables the computer case buttons as well which I normally use to shut down the PC. How I can disable those keyboard buttons in Win10?
Sometimes when I close my PC using the Windows 10 home menu the PC shuts down but when I later come back to open it I see that the physical power button is blinking as if it had only been sleeping and when I open the PC it goes straight to the login skipping the normal startup stuff.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded to Windows 10 from 7. Since the update I've run into an issue where, after I've been using my computer for a while and have done a few sleep/wake cycles, I won't be able to put my computer to sleep with the physical power button. It wakes up just fine with the power button. Restarting my computer temporarily resolves the issue.
View 9 RepliesCan get start screen with girl jogging. However often the Windows 10 icon at bottom left hand corner does not respond. If I click on Explorer icon get message "Explorer.EXE element not found". Cannot turn my laptop off except by holding down power button which causes other problems.
View 1 RepliesI have set my Surface Pro 4 to hibernate when ever I press the power button and it has done so admirably since I purchased it. Now, for some reason, it will only shut down. I have double checked my advanced power settings and it says it is set to hibernate on both battery and when plugged in yet it still gives me the "Slide to shut down your PC" option when I push the button. The only changes I have made recently are to install Intel's Beta 520 drivers and to install the new cumulative update for 1511 that MS released yesterday.
View 2 RepliesComputer was fine till I accidentally hit the power off button while trying to find the model number. Now I can't make it start at all. I tried restart. I tried shutting off and restarting. I have tried system restore and that did not complete successfully. Now I tried go back to previous build and it has said "restarting" for 30 minutes....
View 1 RepliesMy laptop is on windows 10 it shows a black screen when I press the ower on button??
View 1 RepliesI followed the guide to enable Hibernate mode, but is there a way to show it in the Power options?
All I can see now is "Sleep", "Shut down" and "Restart". Was I supposed to see "Hibernate" after following this guide:
Hibernate - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 ?
Or maybe in order to see I need to restart my computer? Or this guide only enables hibernate but doesn't add this to the "Power" button itself?
After Windows 10 install, there is no "sleep" option on the "shut down" button or in the "power options". Any way that will enable my sleep options?
View 14 RepliesSo, last week I upgraded my Toshiba L850-161 from Windows 7 to 10. Since the upgrade my laptop now starts up as soon as the lid is lifted, without me pressing the power button to start the computer. I am shutting the computer down via the start menu.
I thought this problem may be caused by the fast Start-Up in Windows 10, but my friend also uses this feature on his laptop but he still needs to press the power button to start-up.
I then did some research and found the Panel Open - Power On software included by Toshiba. I checked to see if this was activated but it was disabled by default.
I'm a bit stuck here. According to my settings my laptop shouldn't start when the panel is opened, but it does, and I don't want it to. I'd rather start my laptop the old-fashioned way - with the power button.
My computer was upgraded to win 10 pro 64-bit from win 7 pro using the media creation tool on a lenovo b40-30 laptop. I havent used it in two weeks. The power button lights up but nothing is on the screen. I dont think the hard drive light is on (the can symbol light.) Not even the bios shows up (the lenovo logo).
View 3 RepliesAny way of making it so that when I press the Power Button on my Windows 10 desktop that the computer will power down without me having to click with the mouse to turn off various programs or clicking the "restart anyway" button that appears. I managed to do this with windows XP in the past. I think it might have been a registry alteration?
View 6 RepliesJust installed my Win 10 from Microsoft. All went well on the Venue 8 pro. Win 10 worked well with the Dell VN8P but if you put it to sleep by pressing the power button or it enters sleep itself after the time you set, it WILL NOT start back up when you press the power button. LED back light on but screen remains black.
You need to hold down the power button > 10 sec to shut down completely. The you can reboot and all works fine.
This was unacceptable for my use so for now I back out of Win 10 to Win 8.1 which works fine. Tried all kinds of Windows power settings and options. Nothing works.
since I upgraded the computer to Windows 10, when I want to turn off my PC, the screen turn off, but the light on the power button stays on. the computer turns off completely.
while if I want to put my computer on standby, the computer will not turn on more, I am forced to turn off the computer by holding the power button press.
My Dell desktop PC has been running Windows 10 since last Fall. About two weeks ago it began to have difficulty waking from sleep. Pressing the power button or a key on the keyboard causes the fan to come on and the hard drive to spin up, but the screen remains dark and in low-power mode. When I press a key the Caps Lock indicator lights up briefly.
I have to shut the PC down by a long press on the power button. When I reboot it, it starts up OK and in fact the previous set of running programs is reopened. I think this might be due to hybrid sleep: when I force a restart Windows reloads state from the hibernation file.
I've tried a couple of suggestions I found online, such as using System Restore to roll back. No improvement. Others have suggested changing the version of a device driver, such as the graphics driver, but my graphics driver is the same version it has been since installing W10.
Noticed a change in the behaviour of sleep in the last couple of weeks? I'm wondering if this is due to some update pushed by Windows Update.
When I click on save button the contact page closes, but the contact is not created in the contact list. I am able to create it from people.live.com and sync it back. Hard reset is the only way? Soft reset doesn't work.

View 2 RepliesSince yesterday I've been unable to toggle hidden files from the View tab of the ribbons. It's unchecked and when I click on it the check mark appears for a second and disappear again.
Only change I've done recently is installed an antivirus (Bitdefender 2016), could that be the cause?
I had this problem before on Windows 8.1 before it got updated and I had to do a reinstall to fix it. I really don't wanna do it again.
