I need a bat file of power managment

#1 Post by energysavior » 17 May 2016 08:18

Guys can you help me create a bat file to set my cpu power percentage every time i reboot...
Every time i reboot it turns to default 100% minimum state and 100% maximum state... i need lower, i need to be able to set the values.

i found the instructions for the power managment but i can't do this my self...

can you write for me a bat file to set those values please?

i use win 8 and win 7, two laptops

thanks guys!

Unfortunately there is no language independent solution.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
:: German
set "scheme_name=Ausbalanciert"
set "sub_name=Prozessorenergieverwaltung"
set "min_setting_name=Minimaler Leistungszustand des Prozessors"
set "max_setting_name=Maximaler Leistungszustand des Prozessors"

:: English
::set "scheme_name=Balanced"
::set "sub_name=Processor power management"
::set "min_setting_name=Minimum processor state"
::set "max_setting_name=Minimum processor state"


for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('powercfg -l^|findstr /ic:"%scheme_name%"') do for /f %%j in ("%%i") do set "scheme_guid=%%j"
echo scheme_guid       %scheme_guid%

for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('powercfg -q %scheme_guid%^|findstr /ic:"%sub_name%"') do for /f %%j in ("%%i") do set "sub_guid=%%j"
echo sub_guid          %sub_guid%

for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('powercfg -q %scheme_guid% %sub_guid%^|findstr /ic:"%min_setting_name%"') do for /f %%j in ("%%i") do set "min_setting_guid=%%j"
echo min_setting_guid  %min_setting_guid%

for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('powercfg -q %scheme_guid% %sub_guid%^|findstr /ic:"%max_setting_name%"') do for /f %%j in ("%%i") do set "max_setting_guid=%%j"
echo max_setting_guid  %max_setting_guid%

echo(&echo !!! Do only continue if all four guids were found !!!
pause

:: On battery  min -> 0%
powercfg /setdcvalueindex %scheme_guid% %sub_guid% %min_setting_guid% 0

:: Plugged in  min -> 0%
powercfg /setacvalueindex %scheme_guid% %sub_guid% %min_setting_guid% 0

:: On battery  max -> 100%
powercfg /setdcvalueindex %scheme_guid% %sub_guid% %min_setting_guid% 100

:: Plugged in  max -> 100%
powercfg /setacvalueindex %scheme_guid% %sub_guid% %min_setting_guid% 100

pause

I tested with the German settings that work for me.
I also commented the English settings that I expect to work on an English Windows OS.
If you don't know the right names for your language then open a CMD window and run

Code: Select all

powercfg -q|more

in order to find out these names.

Those are the English names... (except obviously change the second "Minimum processor state" to "Maximum processor state" but that's clearly just a typo)

I copy the code to a text file and then I rename it .bat ... I double click it and it runs, and say

scheme_guid 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e
sub_guid 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00
min_setting_guid 893dee8e-2bef-41e0-89c6-b55d0929964c
max_setting_guid bc5038f7-23e0-4960-96da-33abaf5935ec

!!! Do only continue if all four guids were found !!!
Press any key to continue . . .

i press a key and nothing change on the energy plan :/

Hi energysavior,
Create one or several energy saving plans and use this script to change the presets.
