====== Windows Power Management ======

FIXME Just a few notes for now...

<note tip>Power management commands can be run in a background DOS shell, like that provided by the MSP RMM ''Remote Background'' shell feature.</note>

List Windows power plans:

<file>
powercfg.exe -list
</file>

Activate the High Performance power plan:

<file>
powercfg.exe /setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
</file>

Show Link State Power Management setting:

:!: Be sure to **disable Link State Power Management** as it can **cause RDP session lockups**!

<file>
powercfg.exe -query 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c 501a4d13-42af-4429-9fd1-a8218c268e20
</file>

Disable hibernation and delete the ''hiberfil.sys'' file:

<file>
powercfg.exe /hibernate off
</file>
