Is there a way to auto set (semi-automatic) some settings in Windows 10, because when I use my Laptop at home, I only want to use my external monitor, not the laptop's monitor; also, by default, it goes to energy saving mode when closed: this can also be changed via the Control Panel. After some time it gets quite annoying to click though the Control Panel one by one, so I would like to have a tool where one just has to press a button or something to do those things.

  • @Psycogeek Alright, switching the power profile in cmd works; any idea on how to do a similar thing to set screen settings (duplicate display, extend display, only show desktop on 1/2)? – vii Aug 08 '15 at 09:07
  • @Psycogeek, you can just do powercfg -l (-list) to get a list of schemes. The entire query thingy was for windows 2003. – LPChip Aug 15 '15 at 05:24

Easy way to switch power plan in Windows 10 This question has good full answers to the how to swap a power plan in windows 10.

WIN-P brings up "extend/duplicate monitor" side charm bar , which allows you to quickly configure a couple of monitors or projectors.
