How-to Set up power saver mode on Windows and MacOS
This how-to describes how to activate and set up power saver mode on your PC on Windows or MacOS.
Power saver mode is especially useful for short breaks. The computer does not shut down completely as the RAM remains active and continues to be supplied with power. However, energy consumption is very low.
On Windows:
1. Right-click on the Windows button, which is found on the bottom left of your screen.
2. Select "Power Options".
3. You can now decide when the screen will turn off and the computer will enter power saver mode after a certain period of inactivity.
On MacOS:
1. Click on the Apple icon in the top menu bar and select “System Preferences...”.
2. Click on the “Battery” button. Then select the conditions under which the power saving mode should be activated from the drop-down menu at the top right.
3. Click on the “Options ...” button at the bottom right to open a window with further settings.
For notebooks, a distinction is made between the settings for the power supply unit and the battery. You have further options such as “Slightly dim the monitor when running on battery power”, which you can select.
IMPORTANT: When using energy-saving mode, please note that data may be lost in the event of a power failure or if the battery is flat.
