Hi @ray302,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
In Windows 11, you can configure your laptop to operate solely on AC power by adjusting your power settings. To do this, follow these steps:
Open Power & Battery Settings:
- Click on the Start button in the taskbar.
- Click on the Settings (gear) icon, which looks like a gear, to open the Settings app.
Navigate to System Settings:
- In the Settings app, click on the System category on the left-hand side.
Access Power & Battery Settings:
- In the System settings, select Power & Battery from the list of options on the left.
Select Power Mode:
- Under the Power & Battery settings, you will see a section called "Power mode." Click on this section.
Choose Power Mode:
- You should see options like "Better battery," "Better performance," and "Best performance." To run your laptop solely on AC power, select the "Best performance" option or the one that closely resembles that. This setting maximizes performance and typically keeps the laptop plugged in.
Confirm the Change:
- Once you've selected the desired power mode, close the Settings app. Your laptop should now be configured to run on AC power.
Keep in mind that running your laptop continuously on AC power may not be ideal for battery health in the long run. It's recommended to use your laptop on battery power periodically to allow the battery to discharge and recharge, which can help maintain its health. Modern laptops typically have built-in features to manage battery health when left plugged in for extended periods.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
