win7 : Export your Power Plan

Export power scheme.

Lets say for example, you do all that work to customize the power scheme on your laptop. You might even write down some of the advanced settings to tweaked. Why not export it to use the next time you need it.

The /h help on powercfg details it all out. Just remember to run it in a command window that was started with Administrator mode.

  1. Tweak your power settings as you like.
  2. Start a command window in Admin mode.
  3. PowerCfg /L First we need to find out what the GUID of the scheme we customized. The current scheme is highligted by an asterisk *
  4. POWERCFG -EXPORT <filename> <GUID> Now we can export is with the filename.pow of our choice, and using copy/pase the GUID of our scheme
  5. Copy our .pow to later import on a different computer using POWERCFG -IMPORT <filename>
  6.  export power schemes
