    Efficiency mode in win11 is an abomination NO-ONE wants, there's no easy way to switch it off completely without the use of a certain 3rd party app, this decision by micro***t to ENFORCE your green agenda on users is disgusting, either do away with this all together or at least let the user completely disable it in one toggle click, I do not build power hungry gaming behemoths only to be told by YOU, that i'm using to much power, imagine if i paid for £100 of electricity, only to be told my daily consumption would be throttled to 50p a day by the energy companies, or if I saved up for a Ferrar

    :)

    Efficiency mode in broswers

    Still does not work. It has automatic restart, so a few seconds after disabling process by process, efficiency mode is there again... I've been dying with this thing since the launch of win11.

  3. Efficiency mode causing performance issue

    Hi, Shayne Hildebrand

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



    Efficiency mode, previously known as Eco mode, in Windows 11 is designed to limit the resources an application can use to help improve energy efficiency and reduce the system's overall resource usage. However, for resource-intensive applications like AutoCAD Civil 3D, this mode can indeed cause performance issues.

    Here are some steps you can take to manage Efficiency mode for your applications:

    1. Power Plan Settings:
      • Go to 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Power & battery'.
      • Under 'Power mode', make sure it's set to 'Best performance'.
    2. Graphics Settings:
      • Go to 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Display' > 'Graphics'.
      • Browse for the AutoCAD Civil 3D executable or add it if it's not listed.
      • Once added, click on the application and choose 'Options'.
      • Set the graphics preference to 'High performance'.
    3. Registry Edit (Advanced, proceed with caution):
      • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
      • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerThrottling.
      • Here, you can create or modify a DWORD value named PowerThrottlingOff and set it to 1 to disable power throttling globally. This is not recommended as it affects the entire system and can lead to higher power consumption and heat generation.

        Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click How to back up and restore the registry in Windows - Microsoft Support to view the article.
    Please note that changing system priorities and registry settings can have unintended consequences, so these actions should be taken with caution and ideally not on a machine critical for work without proper backups and understanding of the steps involved.



    If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best Regards
