The Redmond company is providing customers with a Fix It download via its Microsoft Support website, designed to make their laptop batteries live longer.
Works on WIndows 7 & Other Version of Windows too…
Head over to Microsoft Support
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_battery_power_settings/en-us
and just press the big ‘Run Now’ Button on the right.
So, what it fixes ?
- Period of time before the computer goes to sleep is set too long
- Screen saver is used instead of setting the computer to enter sleep mode
- Display brightness is set too high
- Power plan is not set to the most efficient power plan
- Wireless adaptor in not optimized for power saving
- Minimum processor state is set too high
If you are Windows User, chances are there, that you will know where to change these option in the Power Options.
Anyway, for Novice users, this is a perfect app !
