    How to Add or Remove "AHCI Link Power Management - HIPM/DIPM" from Power Options in Windows


    The Power Options allows users to configure the link power management mode for disk and storage devices that are attached to the system through an AHCI interface. AHCI Link Power Management is a technique where the SATA AHCI controller puts the SATA link to the internal HDD and/or SSD disk into a very low power mode when there.

    You can use the following settings:

    [table][tr][td]Setting[/td] [td]Description[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Active[/td] [td]Neither HIPM or DIPM allowed. Link power management is not used.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]HIPM[/td] [td]HIPM (Host Initiated Link Power Management) only is allowed[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]HIPM + DIPM[/td] [td]HIPM and DIPM are allowed[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]DIPM[/td] [td]DIPM (Device Initiated Link Power Management) only is allowed[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Lowest[/td] [td]HIPM, DIPM, and DEVSLP (if DEVSLP is supported by the storage device) are allowed.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

    This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the AHCI Link Power Management - HIPM/DIPM setting under Hard disk in Power Options for all users in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to add or remove this setting in Power Options.

    First of all we need to change "AHCI Link Power Management" which is a hidden setting on power management. Open up registry editor and change the following settings.

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442\0b2d69d7-a2a1-449c-9680-f91c70521c60

    Change attributes from 1 to 2

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442\dab60367-53fe-4fbc-825e-521d069d2456

    And again change Attributes from 1 to 2.

    Now go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options click on "Change Plan Settings" and then click on "Change
    advanced Power settings".

    Now under "Hard disk" you should have AHCI Link Power Management - HIPM/DIPM and AHCI Link Power Management - Adaptive options.



    Change "AHCI Link power management" To active, which means there is no power management for AHCI and finally change Adaptive to 0 milliseconds (Although if you enabled "active" this option has no effect).

    Finally under "PCI Express" Change "Link State Power management" to OFF.

  3. KB3194798 installs fine but computer becomes unusable

    Reverting the Intel HD driver to that of Microsoft did not solve the problem !!

    PC unusable.

    UPDATE : Finally I found a workaround, thanks to a forum I unfortunately lost track of.

    Microsoft, please tell me how to just configure my PC right, as this seems a workaround a bug !!.

    "" extract from some blog that made my PC run again with unknown consequences (many thanks again to the author) :

    Thank you for this!

    I was able to significantly reduce my laptop's power consumption by setting my AHCI SSDs to "Lowest" mode which finally allowed my Intel i7 7700HQ to enter package sleep states deeper than C2. (It was set to "HIPM" by default.)

    Before, when it could not go deeper than C2 my CPU idle power consumption was 2.0 - 3.0W watts. Now that the package can go up to C7 it idles around 0.3 - 0.4W.

    *Smile
