How to Export and Import a Power Plan in Windows 11 \/ 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Before getting started, you need to open an elevated Command Prompt<\/a>, Windows PowerShell or Windows Terminal<\/a>. Run the powercfg -list<\/code> command to display all the power plans available in your system. Each power plan has its own unique GUID.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Execute the following command to export a power plan to the file d:\\demo\\Balanced.pow<\/code>. The Your_GUID<\/code> needs to be replaced with the actual GUID of the power plan you want to export.\n

    powercfg -export d:\\demo\\Balanced.pow Your_GUID<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Open File Explorer<\/a> and browse to the location where your .pow file is stored. It’s actually a binary registry file which saves all your power scheme settings such as display, sleep, etc. You can transfer this file to other Windows PCs for restoring your power plan.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. To import a power plan, simple type the following command and hit Enter. Replace d:\\demo\\Balanced.pow<\/code> with the location where your .pow file is saved.\n

    powercfg -import d:\\demo\\Balanced.pow<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  5. Once you complete the above step, open Control Panel<\/a> and go to Power Options<\/a><\/strong>, your imported power plan should appear and you can set it as active.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
