The new Windows 10 v1803 is packed with tons of new and interesting features, one of which is the Ultimate Performance Mode – a power plan in Windows 10 also referred to as the Spring Creators Update. This feature is designed for Workstations and aims to optimize the operating system’s performance. Since this feature is meant to improve the performance of the system, it would also benefit gamers or any user with a high-intensity task. So in this post, you will be guided on how you can enable the Ultimate Performance Power Plan in Windows 10.
Note that the Ultimate Performance Power Plan is only available to computers with the high-end configuration that runs directly on power so there is no way all users can enable this feature. In addition, this feature isn’t recommended for laptops as it only consumes tons of battery power but if you want to use it for the best gaming experience, then by all means, do so.
Before you proceed to the guide on how to enable the Ultimate Performance Power Plan in Windows 10, make sure that you have already updated your computer to the Windows 10 v1803. Simply go to Settings > System > About to check.
Step 1: To get started, open Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional Power Settings.
Step 2: After that, choose to customize a power plan and expand the “Unhide Additional plans” option.
Step 3: If you don’t see the Ultimate Performance Mode, here’s what you have to do:
- Open Command Prompt as admin.
- Then type in the command “powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61” then tap Enter to execute it.
- Minimize the Command Prompt window and then go to Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional Power Settings.
- After that, select Ultimate Performance Power Plan.
As you probably know, the default modes in Windows 10 are Power Saver, Balanced and High Performance. And with this Ultimate Performance feature, it takes the High-Performance mode one step ahead but you need to be aware of the battery consumption and power usage.
These are the highlights of the Ultimate Performance Mode:
- The hard disk never goes to sleep.
- The Javascript timer frequency is at maximum.
- Both Sleep and Hibernation are turned off.
- The Colling Policy, Processor State, maximum processor rate are maxed out.

Step 2: Next, click on the Change Plan Settings right beside the Ultimate Performance Mode.
Step 3: Then on the next window that appears, you can choose to delete it.
And that’s about it.
