Hi @Saravanaraj-6475 ,

The power setting in the screenshot is "Turn off display after". To get the current AC power setting index value you can try something like below

(powercfg /q|Select-String -Pattern "\(display\)" -Context 0,9) -match '(?<=Current DC Power Setting Index: )\w+$'  
$Matches.Values
