How to adjust Power Option on Windows 10 for the most efficient operation

Regardless of what you are using your computer for, you want it to always run at peak performance. To achieve that, you need a little bit of tweaking to change the equilibrium state of Power Options. That is what we talk about in this article.

While the balanced performance is good for many activities, it can cause delays for more demanding tasks like editing audio, video, and large files. Such high-data computations might require a higher level of performance in Power Options settings.

The Power Option changes you are about to make below are not in the Settings app, but are hidden in the Control Panel. Accessing this setting is very simple, just press Windows + X , then select Power Options in the menu that pops up.

Scroll down and open Additional power settings .
