Windows 10: Laptop Whizzing When Plugged In When (Battery) Power Mode is set to Best Performance

Hi,


So with the last Windows 10 Update (Version 1803) (Probably with the last update) on my Asus ROG G752VT laptop ( bought roughly a year ago ) the following occurs*:


*( For all of the following, my Maximum Processor State is set to 99%, Because else the CPU Reaches 90+ Degrees on Hot Summer Days )


When I plug my laptop in without changing any of the Default settings, its very very quiet.


When however, I change the (windows) battery power mode to Best Performance, I start getting a whizzing/buzzing noise, coming either from the power inlet on the PC or the Battery ( I can't be sure, its very hard to say ).


Upon setting the power mode to Better Performance the Noise Stops. On the Best Battery Life settings, there's nothing either.


Just thought I just report this. It might be a problem with my PC, however I thought I should post this anyway, should someone else be having the same issue.

How to automatically change power modes when plugged in and on battery?

I'm looking for something which is pretty simple, yet I've spent the last couple of days searching forums and settings with no success.

Here is what I want: When my laptop is plugged in, I want Windows to recognize that it is plugged in and automatically activate the Best Performance power mode. When I unplug my laptop, I want Windows to recognize that it is on battery power and automatically
activate the Balanced power mode.

Please tell me that there is a way to do this.

So far, the best workaround I have found is to go into the advanced settings for a certain power mode where I can change things like desktop background slide show (paused/available), wireless adapter power saving mode (max power saving, medium, low, max
performance) etc. and manually change all of the settings to match what they would be for Best Performance and Balanced. This seems like a very tedious exercise and I'm not even sure I'll catch all of the various behind-the-scenes changes of the different
power modes.

I know that I could easily change power modes manually when I plug in/unplug my laptop, but there are many things that we could easily do manually throughout the day but we take advantage of the option to automate. I've forgotten to change my settings to
Balanced on more than one occasion when getting to work without a charger and I've found myself running out of battery faster than I'd like.

I appreciate any help on the matter.

Thanks!

Hello,



We appreciate that you already performed troubleshooting. On the other hand, we will be providing steps that seems to be the same with what you have done but with tweaks.



If ever you encounter case wherein the laptop is plugged in but is not charging, we suggest that you try the following:

• Disconnect the laptop’s power cable from the outlet/power source and laptop.
• Turn off the laptop.
• Remove the battery.
• Reconnect the laptop’s power cable to the laptop then to the outlet/power source.
• Power on the laptop.
• Uninstall device of Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
• Turn off the laptop and then disconnect the power cable.
• Insert the battery.
• Reconnect the power cable.
• Power on the laptop. Windows would then reinstall driver automatically.

In case that the troubleshooting steps above didn’t help, our next step is update the driver if there is available update. You just have to go back to
Device Manager > Batteries > Right click on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery > Update Driver Software.



Let me know if this works for you.

 

"Battery plugged in, not charging"

Thank you for the response.

For your Lenovo P500 laptop, there are three possible power management software that came pre-loaded with your device:
Lenovo Energy Management, Lenovo Power Manager, or
OneKey Optimizer. There should be an icon on your system tray to launch the power management software currently installed in your Windows 10 device.

As an alternative, you can download Lenovo Settings which is available for free from the Windows store and follow these steps:

• Open Lenovo Settings.
• Select the energy management icon.
• Set Conservation mode as Off.
• With AC adapter plugged in, the battery level will keep increasing.

If the suggestion above doesn't work, feel free to post back so we can further troubleshoot.
