Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern with the battery report. Active State Power Management or ASPM is a power management protocol used to manage PCI Express-based serial link devices as links become less active over time. It is normally used on laptops and
other mobile Internet devices to extend battery life.



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the make and model of the PC?
  
• Are there any devices connected to the computer?

Please respond to the private message with the required information for further investigation. However, we would suggest you to perform these steps.



Change the advanced power plan settings.

1. Right click at Windows Start menu icon and select Control Panel.
   
2. Set the View by to: Small icons.
   
3. Click on Power Option, then click on Change plan setting.
   
4. Select Changeadvanced power settings.
   
5. Scroll down and expand PCI Express and
   Link State Power Management
