How do I disable efficiency mode for good?

Hi Christopher Bernhardt,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Windows does not have a switch to toggle Efficiency Mode.

For browsers, the following link describes the policies and registry keys associated with efficiency mode.

[table][tr]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. [/tr][/table]

In some cases, the graphics driver may be one of the triggers for the problem.

How to permanently disable Windows 11 "efficiency mode"?

Thank you for the response.

That switch is (and has been) OFF, with ZERO effect.

This (anti) efficiency mode has DESTRYED any efficiency this new computer had.

My 10 year old Widows 10 computer is orders of magnitude more efficient than this new Windows 11 machine!
