Now, set the power slider that appears when you click the taskbar battery icon to the setting that is second from the right ("better performance"). Set-ItemProperty -Path "$active" -Name "Attributes" -Value '2' $active = $regfolder -replace "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "HKLM:" Set-ItemProperty -Path "$active2" -Name "Attributes" -Value '2' $active2 = $2ndfolder -replace "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "HKLM:" $sting77 = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings" I'm also including the script here in case something happens to that page. You can just copy/paste it into a PowerShell window running elevated. This page has a PowerShell script that you can run as administrator to restore these options. Side note: If you do not see these power options, then you most likely are running Windows 10 on a system that supports modern standby. Under advanced power settings, set the maximum processor state to 99%. For most people, I think that the first method will work fine. I have a few different methods for this, and I will lay them out sort of from least complex to most complex (.and, they build on each other to some degree). I personally run my laptops with turbo boost disabled, using one of these methods, and I flip turbo boost on only if I need additional CPU power (maybe gaming, intense database work, or some other kind of number crunching). So, here are a few tricks that you can use to enable and disable turbo boost on the fly. You can save yourself some power/heat/noise by having the CPU run at the base clock speed. Web browsing / office workloads do not really need turbo boost speeds, and there may be times when you would be willing to sacrifice speed for quiet. The CPU does adjust its speed dynamically based on load, but it is (IMO) a bit too eager to hop to high turbo boost speeds when the workload does not call for it. Intel continues to push the turbo power limits higher and higher, which means more heat and noise when the CPU enters high turbo boost states. The audience for this would specifically be laptop users who are concerned about fan noise or surface temperatures in their system. I've mentioned this in other topics, but I am writing up an article so that I have something to point back to.
