Power Settings

[cdf3]

How many power settings are there on the Surface Pro 3. I have a Balanced and Power Saving Plan on my Surface Pro 2.
I only have the Balanced plan on my Surface Pro 3. The battery used to give me the percentage, and how many hours of use I had.
Now it just shows the percentage only, and battery life hasn't been that great lately.

I just got the Surface Pro 3 yesterday and all I'm seeing is Balanced under power plans. You can create custom plans but there is not the same amount of settings as there was with the Surface Pro 2.

Thanks for the info. I did a refresh hoping it would add it, and only saw Balanced after the refresh. Glad you chimed in, because I was just about to reinstall windows.

Windows 8 on connected standby supported system, only has Balance power plan. It has to do with how connected standby works, which brings the power saving features of smartphone to Windows powered devices.
Here is everything you need to know about connected standby:

I do want a wake to stand-by timer so it comes out of hibernate just before I usually wake up. I feel SOOO inconvenienced by the eight second startup in the mornings. #notreally
