Inspiron 7490: Dell Power Manager automatically switches to Ultra Performance

Anybody experiencing the same problem?  I always change it to optimized which has been the default setting and every once in a while I am receiving notifications that it switched to ultra performance.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior? Thanks

 

specs: Inspiron 7490

Core i7-10510U

Nvidia mx250

16gb ram 

4 Operator

Have you checked the Advanced setting in your power profile look into Processor Power Management settings?
Modify screen and sleep settings
To change settings for how long the computer stays awake and how long the monitor stays on, perform these actions:
1. At the desktop, click the Search the web and Windows box and type "sleep".
2. Select Power and Sleep settings.
3. Using the dropdowns provided, select how long the screen stays on and how long the computer waits to go into sleep mode, both on battery and while plugged in.

Hello. Thank you for the reply, however I am referring to the Dell Power Manager Settings which is independent of the Windows Power Settings. Please see screenshot below wherein my Windows Power Plan is set to Balanced.

Hi,

Did you find a solution to this, ultra performance is just not necessary for me, it makes the fans kick into maximum whilst i'm just browsing...
