Windows Power Management Products

[edit]

There are a variety of third-party power management software suites[1][2] available. These extend the basic features present in the operating system and are often marketed in terms of their return-on-investment period. Most products offer central configuration of per-user and per-machine power features with the more advanced offering multiple power plans, scheduled power plans, anti-insomnia features and power usage reporting. Some of the more notable are below:
