7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the PreferredPlan setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting specifies a GUID for the power plan to use for device power settings.
The power plan specifies icons on the Global Settings Task page and determines the default values for the power management settings, including the following:
- Power button setting
- Sleep button setting
- Lid switch setting
- Password-on-resume setting
Do not create an empty value for this setting.These settings are only in effect until the first time that the setting is changed. After that, all power plans use the setting that the user specifies.
To view the GUIDs for the different power plans on the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) installation , use the powercfg -list command-line option as shown in the following example.
