The basic options you can change are when the display turns off and when the computer goes to sleep. Now to actually see what your power settings are, go ahead and click on the Change plan settings link next to the power plan that is currently selected. – Change when the computer sleeps – Same set of options as the above link. – Choose when to turn off the display – This link will bring you to the same screen that you get to when you click the Change plan settings link next to the currently selected power plan. Basically, you can adjust the timings for when the computer display turns off and when the computer goes to sleep. To create a new plan, give it a name and choose one of the plans as a starting point.
– Create a power plan – If you don’t like the three default power plans or if you want to edit the default settings for one of those three power plans, then this is where you can do it. – Choose what closing the lid does – Not sure why this is here because it brings you to the same set of options as above. You can choose different options when you’re on battery and when you’re plugged in. Here you can choose if you want the computer to Sleep or Shutdown or Do Nothing when you press the power or sleep buttons or close the lid. – Choose what the power buttons do – This brings you to the same screen as the previous option, but it’s just the top section. If you don’t have a password for your user account, then requiring a password here won’t make any difference and you’ll still be able to login, so that’s worth noting.
If you do, then when you come back from sleep or hibernate, you’ll have to enter your password.
– Require a password on wakeup – This one is pretty self-explanatory, but a little confusing because it depends on whether or not you have a password set for your user account.
