I saw this post on the KVR Tracktion forum and thought I'd share it here. Sorry in advance if this violates any re/cross-posting rules:

I have it enabled on my ancient Dell D630 laptop and it seems to be running well with Waveform 9.2.1.

Hum. I thought the Ultimate Performance was merely available for AMD Ryzen CPU's.

That AMD powerplan which does a few things differently, with this one MS advises the following changes over high performance:

Hard disk never goes to sleep
Javascript timer frequency is at maximum.
Hibernation and Sleep are turned off.
Processor State, Colling Policy, maximum processor rate are maxed out.

It's getting better.

Thanks for the link.

I had to run the cmd prompt to see that Ultimate power performance option. Worked like a charm.

I wonder why it's not "just there"?

Yep, and thanks for the link -- having read about it, it was very confusing not to find it easily until running the powercfg command. (I vaguely remember having to do it - or similar - previously...)

Even weirder: Why are the "Performance" and "Save energy" energy plans missing on my laptop, after the last big Windows update?

Thanks. Pretty easy.

If it reassures you at all, it isn't just yours.

Other than that. No idea.

Thoughts on Ultimate Performance Mode in Windows 10?
