    Hi!
    I have made a custom power plan after the original Power Saver plan (because this is the only plan that turns Aero off when i run on battery) and i see a message in power plan window 'Your current plan might reduce system performance'. All the options when running on AC are maxed out and when running on battery set to the lowest power consumption. I have the same settings as High Performance plan for AC and the same settings as Power Saver plan when on battery.
    I created a new power plan after the Power Saver because this is the only plan that turns Aero off when unplugged. Does this plan have any other unchangable settings that i can't see in the advance power settings? I mean does it atctally reduce performance compared to the High performance while having the same settings that i can change in the advance power settings?
    Thank you!
