Windows 10: Windows 10 - Disable screen saver on battery

I have been looking through the power settings, screen saver settings, and searching online for any 3rd party utilities, but can't seem to find a solution.. Is there some way for a screen saver to be enabled only when plugged-in?


I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1803. I have some screen savers that I like, but they eat up CPU cycles. While plugged-in, this is not a problem. When on battery, however, this is a problem...


I figured this option might exist within Windows 10 advanced power profile settings, but I see many obsolete Windows 7 options (e.g. Internet Explorer, Desktop background slide show), and nothing related to screen savers.


Or does anyone know of a 3rd party utility, Powershell script, group policy setting, etc. that I could use to enable this? If not, this would be a good option to add to the power profiles in a future version of Win10... Thanks!

:)
