I realize there are several parallel issues bubbling here, but I thought I would address Power Plans under Win10 (which I found to be really important on my 2 laptop-based performance systems).
I was spurred on by some basic info from 2016 in these messages (read posts 16 through Brad’s post #19): Performance issues with Omnisphere - #16 by Ade.
To set up a Win10 Power Plan I used the outline provided in: Configure Power Management options for high performance … which is basically:
-
[Win]+R => “powercfg.cpl”
(which is equivalent to: Control Panel [View by Category] => Hardware and Sound => Power Options) -
Only Balanced and Eco showed up, but then:
- [Create a Power Plan]
Here I could select High Performance and named it “Clint High Performance”.
Settings: On Battery / Plugged In
Turn off display: 20 minutes / 5 hours
Put computer to sleep: 45 minutes / Never - [Change advanced power settings] => many settings … generally self-explanatory and many of them were correctly set based on the the initial selection of High Performance.
- [Create a Power Plan]
-
Set the Cantabile option to select the new power plan on launch (as of Cantabile v4056):
- Tools => Options (Ctrl-Shift-O)
- Audio Engine => Audio Engine => Switch to Power Plan: “Clint High Performance”
-
Go have an ice cream …
