What settings can I change in process lasso to improve battery life, I don't care about performance, I just want good battery life

Jeremy Collake

If you *only* want good battery life, without consideration for performance, then you should probably just set your PC to the most conservative power plan, either 'Power Saver' or 'Better Battery-life Overlay' (shown as 'Best power efficiency' in Windows Settings).

I have already set them in the first place, but the energy consumption is still pretty high, it spikes up a lot due to the turbo boost.

Use the windows power saver plan, as this plan limits boost speed to 75% on non-hybrid CPU.

What is your OS and CPU platform?

Ok, so those are both hybrid systems, As I said above the default  "Maximum processor state Efficiency Class 1" of the P cores is set to 75% in the power saver plan (this is a hidden setting).
Now there is the "Maximum processor state" in the Windows legacy power plan setting and that one controls the E cores. If you wanted a lower boost on E cores too, set that to 75%.

well both aren't hybrid, the i7 is 11th gen tiger lake. Anyways, how do you enable those hidden settings though?

You would have to use powercfg in CMD to unhide it.

To unhide
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR bc5038f7-23e0-4960-96da-33abaf5935ed -ATTRIB_HIDE

To rehide
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR bc5038f7-23e0-4960-96da-33abaf5935ed +ATTRIB_HIDE

I did try it before posting. You should see new option in advanced windows power settings.
Make sure you open CMD with Admin rights.

Hey, I was looking for ways to disable turbo boost, and I found this regedit key which would enable or disable turbo boost using the power plan settings and it also seems to add the setting you were talking about. Here is the location if you need it: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7

In this open the DWORD named "Attributes and change its value to 0
