In this section, we're going to be covering the power config man. In Windows administrator command prompt. Let's just say you have a user that states that particular times during the day, their system tends to start running very, very, very fast. They hit the fan blowing really loudly in the background. Or this, they noticed that their system kind of randomly freezes. So you suspected that it's a power issue.

There's a way in command prompt that you can set your system to monitor the amount of power that your system is using, and it will tell you whether you're having certain warnings or certain errors. Let's go ahead and take a look at this command. I'm going to click Start. And in the search programs in file box, I'm going to type cmd one Right click, hit Run as administrator. So now that we have an administrator command prompt, going to change the color, so things are easier to read. And I'm going to type p o w er CFG.

With a forward slash and question mark, we're going to look at some of the switches that we can use here. On the scroll down, let's make this a little larger. Go back up to the top, we see that there's a lot of different commands that we can use to kind of troubleshoot power issues with your system. We have delete, delete the power scheme for the specified ID. We can go down to even set the type of different type of nations or we can import export different power scheme. So from one system to another.

We have last week, different requests, different switches like that. But the one particular that we're interested in is the energy command. See here it says analyze the system for common energy efficient and battery life problems. The energy command should be used when the computer is idle, with no open programs or documents. So let's go ahead and close our documents out. Save.

And I'm going to type p o W, E, er, C, F G, dash energy. Sorry, leave me a voicemail. There we go. And now we see that Windows is now tracing the system or observing the system behavior for at least 60 seconds. So now it's starting to see what what are the different maybe power schemes, the different regulation of energy, the power that's being received to the system, like that. We're going to let this run And I guess we can take a break and come back when this is done.

And we are back. So we had the results back from our system. It says energy efficiency problems were found. We have five errors, one warnings and three informational messages. So it also has the file format. You see that an export it as an HTML within this path.

So let's go ahead and take a look at the file. Want to open the system here, a computer and go to C Drive, Windows system 32 and energy Report, I'm going to just slowly type energy. If you guys didn't know that Windows will automatically kind of search for files that are spilled as you're typing type E and E energy report. Let's go ahead and copy that to the desktop. I'm going to double click the file and we have a power efficiency diagnostic report. We have the computer name whether it's plugged in or not.

Let's scroll down. These are some of the errors that we're having when it comes to power we're having. So for some reason, some type of errors with our USB devices warnings that we have for our The power plan would have been balanced power policy for video. We have a lot of different information that we can use here to distinguish whether or not a user is having issue with power from their system from the wall. I hope you guys find this tip useful. I will see you again in the next one.
