How to Add or Remove Internet Explorer from Power Options in Windows


The JavaScript Timer Frequency setting under the Internet Explorer power option can slow down the java script animations and execution in Internet Explorer which in turn can save battery life. If you want faster browsing in Internet Explorer, then you might want to change this setting to "maximum performance" in power settings. Slower performance is a compromise to save battery life. By default, when using a PC on battery, Internet Explorer will automatically switch to "maximum power savings" for JavaScript Timer Frequency.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Internet Explorer and its sub JavaScript Timer Frequency setting in Power Options for all users in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

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

How do I remove Toponclick from Lumia 520 (WP8)?

I don't use Windows Phone so I'm moving this post to Mobile Devices.

If using IE10 or IE11 on Windows 8/8.1, I would check Internet Options> Programs> Manage add-ons for an add-on that could be removed.

It still applies to Windows 10 as noted in that tutorial. *Wink
