Windows 10: Disable Energy Recommendations

How do I disable my energy recommendations? It has my screen saver turned off and I'm unable to turn it back on. Even when I go to my lock screen settings to turn on my screen saver, it still doesn't work because I can't unselect what energy recommendations has

:)

 

CPU Multiplier help

turn off speed step! That is Intels way of saving energy.

To completely disable the stepping, disable speed step and the C States in the bios.

 

Recommended section in the start menu is blank

I can suggest a couple of additional steps for you to attempt and check if it resolves the problem:

- Check "Folders" under Personalization > Start: Make sure the desired folders like Downloads or Documents are enabled under "Folders" to populate the list with recently accessed files.

- Turn off "Focus Assist" while checking for recommendations: Focus Assist might prevent the system from learning your usage patterns and populating recommendations.

- Disable Group Policy settings: Check if any Group Policy settings related to Start menu and recommendations are enabled. You can access Group Policy Editor by pressing Win + R and typing "gpedit.msc".

 

Any way to change in register which GPU is used for Energy saving?

Hi SweetArkhane,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Yes, you can change the default GPU used for energy-saving in Windows by following these steps:

1. Open the Windows search bar and type "Graphics Settings" and select the option that appears.
   
2. In the Graphics Settings window, click on the "Browse" button under the "Select an app to set preference" section and locate the program or application you want to set a GPU preference for.
   
3. Once you have selected the app, click on the "Options" button and then select "Power Saving" from the drop-down menu.
   
4. Click on the "Save" button to apply the changes.
   

To change the default GPU for all apps, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Windows search bar and type "Device Manager" and select the option that appears.
   
2. Expand the "Display adapters" section and right-click on the GPU you want to set as the default and select "Properties".
   
3. In the Properties window, click on the "Driver" tab and then click on the "Disable" button to disable the GPU.
   
4. Click on the "Yes" button when prompted to confirm the action.
   
5. Once the GPU is disabled, repeat the same steps for the other GPU, but instead select "Enable" to enable it.
