Step 4 – Types of power plan
You can create a power plan of three types; balanced, power-saver and high performance. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will choose the balanced one. In the new window, you can also change the name of the plan. Once you have entered the name, click on the next button.
Step 5 – Settings for the power plan
Doing so will take you to the settings screen. Here, you can adjust the display settings for the power plan. You can set the time after which the display would disappear.
