Save Power with Windows 7 Power Management Diagnostics
Posted January 15, 2010 – 23:00 in: Silivrenion, syndicated
Have you been wondering if your laptop or desktop uses more power than it needs to? Well, wonder no more! Windows 7 includes a utility for generating a report of potential energy hogging systems within your computer.
Simply open a Command Prompt window as Administrator, and enter the following command:
powercfg -energy
Windows 7 will take about a minute and a half to analyze power usage and provide an HTML report of possible issues that could be drawing more power than necessary. By default, the report is placed in C:\Windows\System32\energy-report.html, however you can change the output location with the flag -output on the command above, no carats.
