Engineering Network locations

Click Home network for networks that you know and trust each PC and other devices including people using the computers. Network discovery is turned on for home networks, which allows you to browse other computers and devices and allows other network users to see your computer.

Click Work network for small office or other workplace networks. Network discovery is turned on by default which allows you to see other computers and devices on a network and allows other network users to see your computer but you can't create or join a homegroup.

Click Public network for networks in public places such as shopping malls, restaurant, coffee shops and airports. This location is designed to keep your computer hidden to other computers around the world and always helping you to protect your system from any malicious software from the Internet. By default, Network discovery is turned off.

According to Microsoft, choose Public network option always if your connected directly to the Web without using a router or if you have a mobile broadband internet connection.

Command line tool to detect Windows 7 Energy-Efficiency and Battery life problems

Powercfg.exe is a command-line utility that enables users to control the power settings and management policy on a windows system.

With the command line option /ENERGY, the tool analyses your computer for energy-efficiency and battery life related problems. The ENERGY option should be use when the system is running idle and no open programs or else, additional errors may be shown.

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg /energy
Enabling tracing for 60 seconds...
Observing system behavior...
Analyzing trace data...
Analysis complete.

Energy efficiency problems were found.

5 Errors
46 Warnings
33 Informational

See C:\Windows\system32\energy-report.html for more details.

C:\Windows\system32>

The ENERGY option generates an HTML file called Power Efficiency Diagnostic Report. Here’s an example:

html

 

TIP: Study more command line switches by using /? and saving the results to a text file called powercfg.txt.

C:\myfiles>powercfg /? > powercfg.txt

Here’s how to open the text file from command prompt

C:\myfiles>notepad powercfg.txt

Here are some few command line switches that you might want to test:

-HIBERNATE, -H
            Enables-Disables the hibernate feature.  Hibernate timeout is not supported on all systems.

-REQUESTS
            Enumerate application and driver Power Requests. Power Requests prevent the computer from automatically powering off the display or entering a low-power sleep mode.

Average Utilization (%) 51

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Adaptive Display Brightness Support
This computer does not allow Windows to automatically control the brightness of the integrated display. Installing the latest system firmware (BIOS) may resolve this issue.
