How to Enable the Secret Ultimate Performance Power Plan Windows 10
Before starting the tutorial, I am sure you are well aware of the Windows 10 power/battery plans and their effects on your computer’s performance. There are 3 different power plans available in Windows 10 by default, and those are balanced, high performance, and power saver. By default, the balanced plan is activated. So when you check for the currently enabled plan on your control panel, it would be the balanced option.
You can choose a high-performance plan that could boost your system’s performance. But here we are going to show you more powerful settings that are hidden inside the Windows. This is the ultimate performance power plan. But wait a little bit more. Before talking about the Windows 10 Ultimate Performance Mode let us have a short brief about the three basic power plans.
What is a Balanced Power Plan in Windows 10?
This plan automatically balances performance with energy consumption on capable hardware, for example, CPU, RAM, or GPU. With this setting, you might not get the full performance of your system because it sometimes compromises the performance to save energy.
What Is Power Saver Plan In Windows 10?
The people who are more concerned about their laptop battery life normally use this setting. But with this plan, you will get poor performance of your hardware or system. You may experience slow loading and execution of programs installed on your computer. If you are using your system for small tasks, you can go with a power saver plan but for heavy PCs and game lovers, this is the worst setting for you.

Before enabling this plan, make sure your Windows is up to date, as you might find it difficult to enable the ultimate performance power plan with the outdated version of Windows 10. Your Windows 10 version should be 1809 or later.
