Windows 10: How to automatically set power setting?

When i plug my charger the power setting automatically set the power setting to high performance and it's great. But the power setting also set to high performance when i turn on my laptop unplugged, and I have to manually change to either power saving or balance. Is there a way to set the power setting automatically to choose balance or power saving whenever i unplugged or start my laptop?
