    As the topic asks, is it possible to make windows 7 boot at a particular power plan (High Performance)?

    Thanks.

    I am not sure if I understand the question but Windows7 reboots at the plan you used the last time.So yes it's possible.Set the power plan to whatever you want and win7 will be booting at that plan.

    Actually what i met is, i want windows to boot at a particular power plan (eg. high performance) irrespective of what the plan was before a reboot. That is to make the laptop boot at High Performance mode at every boot, even if i have changed that plans.

    ok if you create shortcuts with these lines (red text), you can set the plan...

    powercfg -setactive SCHEME_MIN (high performance)
    powercfg -setactive SCHEME_BALANCED (balanced)
    powercfg -setactive SCHEME_MAX (power save)

    you can then place whichever you wish into the startup folder.
