I'm created a simple script for changing power setting with quickly. You can choice a number for any exist power schemes in your system. But you must customize the monitor timeout first as you want. Defalut is never (0). Spoiler: PowSchm.cmd Code: @Echo Off Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion Setlocal EnableExtensions ::Customize screen timeout in minutes Set "scrTM=0" Set plh= :stPow cls Set /a chsp = 1 for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=:" %%p in ('powercfg -l') do ( if defined plh ( IF !chsp! equ !plh! ( for /f tokens^=1^ delims^=^ %%c in ('echo %%q') do ( powercfg /setactive %%c echo. powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac %scrTM% powercfg /change monitor-timeout-dc %scrTM% echo. goto :END ) ) ) else ( IF !chsp! geq 3 echo [!chsp!] %%p %%q ) Set /a chsp+=1 ) echo [;] Exit without change anything echo. set /p plh="type your choice, enter = " If %plh% geq 3 ( if %plh% geq !chsp! Set plh= ) else (Set plh=) goto :stPow :END Endlocal EnableDelayedExpansion Endlocal EnableExtensions Exit Creat new file with anyname.cmd file, paste the code in there, launch it. You can put that file to windows dir, and launch it from run dialog (win+r) Maybe usefull for someone in audit mode system. Enjoy.
