Windows 10: forced battery saving mode while in game

ever since i bought my laptop with windows 10 few years ago, i am having this one problem to which, unfortunately, i could not find any solution to this day.

i am traveling a lot and i need to use inverters for charging my laptop and while i am charging - all is fine, but when the charging ends, my laptop instantly dims the screen lighting to 50% (this is what i have set it to do) or straight out to 0%, in which case i need to set it back to 50% again and all is fine after that - not a big problem.

the main issue that i am frustrated with, is when i am playing games, my laptop decides to go to battery saving mode at a completely random times - dims the display to 0% and disables usb ports. if i minimize the game - usb ports get enabled again. and this happens anywhere from 70% of remaining battery to 28%

i have my battery saver turned to 20%

i have tried all i could think of and all things that i could find on the internet, but nothing helped

some people suggested to add a reg key to prevent this from happening - did not help

went to power management to specifically choose the option to NOT disable usb ports when power saving mode starts - did not help

there were many more things that i have tried, but since this problem is so old, i simply can not remember everything i tried out

and it happens with any "bigger" game - small ones that do not use many resources are not causing trouble.

Forcing Battery Save Mode on

I updated my Lumia to Windows 10 and now can't set it to battery save mode when I am charging the phone. Reason why I need to set it power save mode is that I am charging from external power bank battery and don't want to waist any energy.

Any solutions?

 

Forcing Battery Save Mode on

When your phone is being charged you can't enable battery saving mode.

As fore conserving battery, you may want to try these-

1.Go to settings>privacy>background apps and turn off unnecessary background apps.

2. Go to settings>system>notifications for apps which you don't use all the time.

3.Customize battery saving using the battery saver in settings.

4.Disable automatic OneDrive backups and photo uploads through the Onedrive app.
