How do you Change the Performance Options using a batch file command

[AgentEddie99]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm trying to change the Performance Options using a batch command file. I'm wanting this to do on many computers instead of doing it manually. I have attached a picture of what I'm taking about. Please can someone/s help me PLEASE!!

 

 

Thanks,

 

Eddie

I'd imagine you need to do a powershell or visual basic script instead of batch.

Sounds like a PowerShell script pr VB as Naeas suggest as well.

 

Is there a reason why you want to do this?  O am asking because perhaps we know another /better solution to your problem.

Its because I work in I.T. Makes it a lot easier and faster setting up PCs for clients because we are going to repeat this process 1000's a time a year. It would make it easier then going and changing it manually. I know how to change the wallpaper of a computer using a batch command file its just I'm stuck on this one.

I would like to use the batch file on every operating systems. I don't quite get what you mean by "<os version> <task> <method>"

Know how to Google. Use that syntax to find what you're looking for. Batch is also too old and clunky. Use power shell instead.

Are you working in a repair shop setting where these computers are more for individuals, or are you managing several corporate clients where all the computers needed will be on a domain setting?

 

For the 1st, imagining or ghosting might be another route you could look at, for the 2nd, group policy objects might be useful - depends on your setup & needs really. Anyhow, yeah if you want to go down the script route, batch files, vbs scripts etc. are now outdated & powershell as described above has replaced them all...

I was a little fascinated to learn this answer also so I've done some digging around. There doesn't seem to be (from what I can see), any inbuilt PowerShell commands which wrap the different visualisation settings options here, unfortunately it'll mean lots of calls to set different registry keys. The most useful pages & resources I found were these:

along with some tiny PowerShell script samples you might be able to copy-paste & build from, under C:\Windows\diagnostics\system\Performance.
