Yep, there is a profile change on AC disconnect on Windows. Specifically, it forces the balanced platform profile and returns to the last active profile on replugging (the UI disallows changing of profiles when disconnected but it is possible via WMI) > From my testing, what I've found out is that even if we don't handle > on_AC, the profile is still set but the hardware will not put the > changes into effect until we plug in AC. I did some more testing and I was a bit mistaken in the way it works. While the system is unplugged it will still apply the three different profiles (as evident by the differing fan speeds) but the CPU will aggressively throttle under stress, placing an upper limit on the maximum clock rate, this limit is lifted upon plugging in AC. -- Thanks, Hridesh MG
