Windows has these:
- Balanced (Recommended)
- High Performance
- Power Saver
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html
These control basics like:
- Screen brightness
- Turning screen off after X minutes
- Putting device to sleep after X minutes
- Turning off USB/hard-drives after X minutes idle time
to more advanced things like:
- Throttling CPU
- Disabling/Enabling "Turbo"/Boost mode
- Enabling/Disabling ACPI power states
- More aggressive hibernation
For example, laptops might come by default with "Power Saver" mode to save battery. When plugged in, they'll switch to "Balanced" or "High Performance".

If it's a laptop, most likely "Power Saver".

No idea... very strange.
Usually it happens in CPU-intensive things (like games or benchmarks). When the CPU is overheating, the laptop would throttle the CPU.
But as you guys have explained, nothing of real difference between those 2 versions...
