Thankfully, Windows power profiles can be fully customized according to your need, but you need a little help in understanding each option to optimize it. However, I personally never let Windows decide which power profile I want, and I fully customize the power options every time I reset or reinstall Windows.īecause I find Windows preset power profile values to be rather flawed, for example, in the performance profile, Windows forces CPU power to always stay at max power, which isn’t necessary at all (more on it later).

While your computer is in sleep mode, the dell monitor may keep cycling “Scanning for signal…” and “No DP signal from your devices” messages and the monitor itself will not power off. Take the Dell U2718Q monitor as an example. If this is the case, you may try to update firmware on your monitor or reset it to factory default and turn off any built-in “Monitor Sleep” features on the display.

When connecting a monitor to a CalDigit Dock or a Display-supported storage solution, you may find the monitor can not enter power saving mode even when your computer entered sleep mode. If your monitor cannot enter power save mode, please power cycle your monitor by disconnecting it from power for at least 30 seconds, then make sure that “monitor sleep” features are disabled.
