The standard power plans on Windows 11 work well, but you can also create a custom power plan for certain situations. This guide will explain how.

The power settings on Windows 11 are configurable, allowing you to manage how much power is being used for different scenarios. For example, you can use power plans to manage your sleep and screen brightness settings. There are three default power modes: balanced, best power efficiency, and best performance.

You can easily modify an existing power plan, or create a custom power plan, to suit your requirements on Windows 11. Let’s look at how to create, configure, and delete a custom power plan on Windows 11 below.

A custom power plan allows you to determine how Windows reacts to different situations. For example, if you want your monitor to switch off after a certain amount of time, but you don’t want to put it to sleep, you could create a custom plan to do it.

Now that you’ve created a new power plan on Windows 11, you may want to customize it further.

The options are varied, but you’ll be able to configure when to turn off the hard disk (not an SSD), your PC’s sleep options, battery settings to control critical battery notifications, processor power management, wake timers, USB settings (on select PCs), and more.

Is the custom power plan you’ve created for your Windows 11 PC not working as intended? You can delete it at any time.

Using the steps above, you can create a custom power plan on Windows 11. The default plans work for most users, but if you need certain settings to be enabled or disabled, you can create a custom plan and switch to it when you need to.

It’s also important to note that a power plan isn’t the same as power mode. There are similarities, but power mode allows the device to optimize battery life and provide extra battery performance when needed.
