Restore my power settings I backed since CP told me too before using it.
Cheers
Actually, regarding the way Process Lasso suggests (that is, using powercfg -qh), it isn't as easily "restorable", because it's just a text list of all parameters, it isn't a set of settings itself. The most convenient way to do this would be to repeat the backup after making changes, so you have 2 files. Next, compare them using text comparing software such as WinMerge (open-source). As you see the differences, you can go and adjust them to their previous state manually.
I may write a simple script in BAT that would make backups and be capable of restoring them, but right now I am a bit busy. It's doable of course, and if you need it urgently I can do this.
What is CP?
While it's always a good idea to make back ups...
Process Lasso doesn't really mess with the power profile configurations. It doesn't change anything, except enabling or disabling core parking by user request, or upon a ProBalance event (if configured). When a temporary change to the core parking is made, it is reverted. It can also easily be changed by the user by using ParkControl.
Other than core parking, there are zero power profile options changed. No new power profiles are created. None are deleted.
Some utilities out there will completely muck up your power profiles, but Process Lasso is not one of them. It is oriented more towards automated switching of power profiles.

Yes, and I think he/she is talking about Park-Control?
Oh, yes, I do officially recommend backing up your power profile options, but only out of an abundance of caution really.

And I will backup the whole registry before using the optimize tools, and then compare and check what it is doing. ;)
For novice, just create a system restore point. :)
