Creating Powerplans

Hi Schulzi,

This powershell script creates a new power plan and set it as you wish.

# Get Current Active Plan
$OriginalPlan = $(powercfg -getactivescheme).split()[3]
# Duplicate Current Active Plan
$Duplicate = powercfg -duplicatescheme $OriginalPlan
# Change Name of Duplicated Plan
$CurrentPlan = powercfg -changename ($Duplicate).split()[3] "Custom Plan 3"
# Set New Plan as Active Plan
$SetActiveNewPlan = powercfg -setactive ($Duplicate).split()[3]
# Get the New Plan
$NewPlan = $(powercfg -getactivescheme).split()[3]

$PowerGUID = '4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347'
$PowerButtonGUID = '7648efa3-dd9c-4e3e-b566-50f929386280'
$LidClosedGUID = '5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936'
$SleepGUID = '238c9fa8-0aad-41ed-83f4-97be242c8f20'
