Week 5 Posting – Power Plans

When I built my first computer I had some issues with low frame counts on a computer that had all the right things to handle games, one of my first things that I came across when looking for a solution was to enable “gamer mode” by installing the “Unlimited Performance” option in control panel. After configuring the settings, I saw a noticeable improvement as well as a higher clock speed, and louder fans. This was my first interaction with how settings can affect performance. In the following weeks I learned to tinker with both computer policies and registry edits that will disable useless items and remove graphical add-ins that eat away at my sweet, sweet frames. Although this is still around Windows 11 will adapt the workload to what is needed and can offer much higher speeds while balancing a battery when in a laptop.
