    Does the power slider work if I have a single battery profile?


    My laptop came with just the 'Balanced' power profile, and I wonder if the battery slider works independently of those? If not, do I just set up a power saving and performance profile? Thanks

    Battery Slider vs Power Options

    The Battery slider power control is not completely independent, obviously some settings would be common.
    Early versions of Windows 10 had more than one Power Plan, but they changed it into the one plan, Balanced (recommended) and then added a Power Mode slider control to the Battery icon.
    Which makes it a lot easier than going to Power Plans.

    i.e. The Power Mode slider control is the equivalent of a different Power Plan.

    All part of a general shift from the old Control Panel to the Settings App.

    Battery Slider vs Power Options

    What bearing if any does the slider have on the power options (from control panel)
    I slid it to better battery but the power plan was still set to balanced?

    Are they completely independent?

    I needed to leave my laptop on over night and the fan kept starting up (not sure why, it was only downloading some files). I set it to better battery assuming this would limit the cpu so it wouldn't get so hot, it didn't. Changed my power plan to power saver and changed max state to 60% and it was fine....

    Slider seems to do nothing.
