Windows 10 is known to consume a lot of power. This can be a problem if you want to save energy or if you have a power-hungry computer. In this article, we will show you how to check your PC’s power consumption in Windows 10.
How much wattage your computer actually consume
How to Check PC Power Consumption in Windows
In Windows 10, there are a few ways to check the power consumption of your PC.
One way is to use the Windows Powercfg.exe utility.
Another way is to use the free powercfg.exe viewer app from Microsoft.
Both of these utilities can be found in the Start menu, under System and Safety.
To use the Windows Powercfg.exe utility, open it by clicking the Start button, typing “powercfg.exe”, and then clicking the Powercfg.exe entry in the list of results.
On the main screen, you will see a list of all the devices on your PC.
Under the “Power” heading, you will see a list of all the power plans that are currently enabled on your PC.
Under each power plan, you will see a list of all the devices that are currently using the plan.
To see the power consumption of a device, click on the device name.
You will then be able to see the power consumption of the device, as well as the estimated power consumption for the current power plan.
To change the power plan for a device, click on the device name and then click on the power plan that you want to use for the device.
You can also change the power consumption for a device by clicking on the “Change” button and then choosing a different power consumption from the list of options
Why Checking Your PC’s Power Consumption is Important
The average person’s workstation consumes around 125W of power when idle and 5-10W when active, which is about the same as an older laptop. This level of power consumption is acceptable for older, lower-powered desktop and laptops, but is not enough for the latest and greatest laptops and ultrabooks.
Laptops that come with the latest processors, graphics cards, and memory often require more power to run than older laptops. For example, a laptop with an Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M will require around 150W of power when idle and around 30-40W when active.
If your PC is not using the latest processor, graphics card, or memory, you can save a lot of power by disabling those features or reducing their power consumption. For example, you can disable the processor and graphics card in the BIOS, turn off the screen and peripherals when you’re not using them, or reduce the amount of memory installed.
One of the easiest ways to check your PC s power consumption is to use the “powercfg” command-line utility. To get started, open a command prompt window by pressing the Windows key and typing “cmd”. Then, type “powercfg” and press Enter.
The powercfg utility will display a list of the power usage for each item on your computer. For example, the powercfg
