I am finding it very difficult to follow the various links to find the Ultimate Performance Plan for Windows. Can somebody help me cut directly to the actual text/script/whatever to type in. Many thanks.
Download the zip file referenced here:
Follow Frank’s direction here:
That should do it. But you could just continue reading from there where Frank (and other GP users) helped me work out minor roadblocks I was having.
Good luck!

Hi all. Thanks for the link. However, there is one problem. Whenever I boot up from cold, the power plan reverts back to balanced, and I have to re-select the Ulttimate one. Is there anyway to make Windows remember the correct (Ultimate) one?
That download file (the zip file) is designed to do just that.
I had the same issue until I used that. It worked for me
You used that zip file?
Thankfully, Frank1119 is still active here. So, I will defer to him.
No I didn’t. I used one form Robin Vincent’s site. I’ll try your one.

Maybe try this?
About the execution policy: right click on the SetSafeUltimate.ps1:
In the popup menu click ‘properties’. Probably at the bottom there’s a message about the file being blocked, because it’s from the internet. Remove the block and try again.
Maybe post a screenshot in this thread of the powershell window with the command executed (or having failed to execute)
(If not, maybe Frank will check in.)
It’s already in the screen shot above. The blue line of text. Did I type it correctly?
I just copied and pasted. You right clicked and checked Properties to see if you unblock that setting?
Not yet. I think there is a glitch in my pc possibly due to install stuff. Im installing a back up at the mo. Will keep in touch.
Disclaimer: I don’t know too much.
All I know is I did my best to follow Frank1119’s instructions and it stopped the crackling issue. (Which came back on a virtually duplicate laptop, and Frank correctly suggested Throttlestop, which fixed that one too.).
Hey Jeff! I appreciate your help. I am just a tad too old now to follow the links and understand all the processes. That’s why I asked for a simplified instruction set in my fist posting. Anyway, I don’t have any of the crackling issues like you did, and all I’m trying to do is to get the pc to run as well as I can using the Ultimate setup. I guess I’ll have to put it all aside in the meantime. Cheers, Al:)

You could try to adjust the execution policy:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
Unblock-File -Path <some path>\SetSafeUltimate.ps1
You might need to do this in an ‘elevated’ prompt (aka ‘run as administrator’).
After this try running the script again.
Oh right, yep, this was another issue I ran into. See:
