<h3>Power Plans and Modes</h3>
623+
With Windows 10, Microsoft introduced <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/power-settings/configure-processor-power-management-options" target="_blank">power modes</a>, which are meant to be replacement for power plans in terms of power and perfomance management.
624+
<br>
625+
Power modes require the <b>Balanced power plan</b> to be active to work. If you're any other power plan, you won't be able to use them (On most modern systems, you may find that you don't even have other power plans at all because of this).
626+
<br>
627+
<br>
628+
To change your power mode, go to <a href="ms-settings:powersleep">Power</a> settings, and select whatever highest performance option you have if the dropdown menu.
629+
<div class="card-yellow">
630+
<p>
631+
On some older, or custom built machines you may not have selectable power modes at all - in that case, all that matters is just having the <b>Balanced power plan</b> active.
632+
</p>
633+
<p>
634+
If you are on a laptop, power modes are saved per connecton state - selecting a mode while on battery will not change the mode when you plug in the charger, and vice versa.

<div class="card-red">

<h3>Warning!</h3>
641+
Using custom power plans is not recommended due to how integral the <b>Balanced power plan</b> is to Windows 10 and 11 at the low level.
642+
<br>
643+
It can break power management on modern hardware, and can lead to increased power consumption and/or decreased performance (or even mess up things like fan speed).
644+
<br>
645+
<br>
646+
It is safer to customize the <b>Balanced power plan</b> to your liking, rather than using a custom one. (We all can agree this is not intuitive at all).

<h3>Game Mode</h3>

Windows 10 introduced a feature called <a href="ms-settings:gaming-gamemode">Game Mode</a>, which puts the system in a more gaming-friendly state.

Game Mode is a "power mode overlay", which means it requires power modes to work - the Balanced power plan must be active.
