Switching between power plans in Windows 10 isn’t too difficult, but things can always be improved. If you’re looking for a quicker way to select a different power plan in various situations, this application may be exactly what you need.

PowerPlanSwitcher provides you with a more accessible way of switching between the default and user-created power plans. What’s more, it is capable of setting a different schema whenever an AC adapter is connected or disconnected.

Once you have launched the application, you will be able to access it from the system tray icon. Left-clicking this icon brings up the selection menu, while right-clicking it allows you to configure various program settings.

The flyout shows all your available power plans, including those that have been created by the user. Its styling matches that of the Windows 10 UI, so it does not look out of place.

If you don’t want to click the system tray icon in order to select a power plan, you can enable the Shift+Win+L shortcut that is disabled by default. However, it would have been great if users had the option of customizing this hotkey.

You may wish to switch to another power plan when your laptop is plugged in, and this application can perform this action automatically. This feature needs to be enabled, and you have to select the preferred power plan when running on battery or AC.

On the whole, PowerPlanSwitcher is a well-designed piece of software that could be very helpful for laptop users. It makes it easier to select a different power plan, and it can even perform this switch automatically. What’s more, the UI features a Windows 10 style design.

What's new in PowerPlanSwitcher 0.4.4.0:

  • Bugfixes
  • Changed shortcut to Shift+Win+L (the old is taken by OS in Creators Update)
