Change your battery settings for improved performance [Hack Your Day]

power settingsI didn’t actually realize thus far what a huge performance increase can be given to Windows by changing the battery settings. I should actually approach this from the other side, you can elongate battery life by a considerable amount if you take down power consumption. You can also dim the display and so on, just don’t forget to turn the battery consumption back to high performance when you are back at the desk.

I was opening tabs, looking at a YouTube video and everything seemed really slow. The video was choppy and switching between tabs was a pain. I realized after about 5 hours of work that this is due to my battery setting, which I didn’t change back from “power saver”. If you recently used this setting, be sure to set it back, because you will experience performance issues otherwise.
