  1. What is the difference between balanced and power saving mode in Windows 10


    Hi!



    For quite some time now I have been having some issues with my sound in Windows 10 desktop. After narrowing down the possibilities using drivers and installing various Hardware. I have come to the conclusion that it is a DPC issue. using DPC latency checker I've seen it Spike several times in regions where it's not supposed to. The only time that this does not is when power saver mode is enabled. I would prefer to keep balanced on.


    In conclusion is it possible for me to determine the DPC issue in balanced mode and high power mode but is not present in power saver?

    :)

    really weird issues(maybe hardware and software both) make me really confused

    At first my system run on balance mode, later I changed it to performance mode, yesterday I changed it back to balance mode again.
    Is there any other power saving options? BIOS set as default.

    Windows 10 64 bit with latest update and graphic card with latest driver.

    What is the difference between balanced and power saving mode in Windows 10

    Power Plan stuck in Balanced Mode.

    I have this bug for some time now but since i couldn't find a fix for it i decided to post it here to see if anybody could help me.

    Basically, my power plan is stuck on Balanced mode and whenever i try to choose the Maximum Performance mode it just resets to Balanced Mode again.

    I have tried to create my own power plan but with no avail, it still reverts to balanced mode. Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Thank you guys in advance and sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes, English is not my native language.
