Simple scripts to manage your GPU with Power Source. Turn GPU on when plugged in and turn GPU off when on battery!

Tired of gpu induced battery drain? Do this

> ⚠️ Tested only on Windows 10 and 11. Use at your own risk

# Usage

- Clone the repo or the two files named `disable_gpu.ps1` and `enable_gpu.ps1` (Both are independent of each other).

- Launch the `Task Scheduler` program on windows. (Preinstalled on all Windows version)

- Task Scheduler Library > Create Task

- Name is anything you want, I will name it `Plug In Script`. Enable the `Run with highest privileges option`

  ![Alt text](ASSETS/image.png)

- Click on the `Triggers` tab > New > Select `On an event`. Check the highlighted areas in the ASSETS/image below then click on `New Event Filter`

  ![Alt text](ASSETS/image-2.png)

- Select the `XML` tab and enable the `Edit query manually option`. Check the highlighted areas in the ASSETS/image below

  ![Alt text](ASSETS/image-3.png)

- Paste the following for Plug In:

  ```xml

  

  

  	*[System[(EventID=105)]] and *[System[Provider[@Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power"]]] and *[EventData[Data[@Name="AcOnline"] and (Data='true')]]

  

  

  ```

- Click `Ok` then again `Ok` until you reach the `Create Task` window.

- Check the ASSETS/image below for `Settings` and `Conditions` tab. This will be same for both Plugin In and Out script.

- Click on `Actions` > `New`.

- In the `Program/Script` enter your powershell install location, by default it is `C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe`.

- In the `Add arguments` enter `-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "/path/to/enable_gpu.ps1" -Name "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti"` (replace `/path/to` and `NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti` to your needs).

  ![Alt text](ASSETS/image-6.png)

- Repeat the same for the `disable_gpu.ps1` with the changes as necessary.

    Use this query for the Step 7:

    ```xml

    

    

	*[System[(EventID=105)]] and *[System[Provider[@Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power"]]] and *[EventData[Data[@Name="AcOnline"] and (Data='false')]]

    

    

    ```

Thank you for following this guide. If you are like me who has to save battery on a gaming laptop then this is perfect.
