I have done this on my laptop and works well. To clean out much of the rubbish that came with the OS, go to this page and find out about the de-bloater script…

This at least takes you on a trip through Power setting land. Perhaps others may have some different recommendations! There are some other settings here, that you may just want to go through to see what’s there. I changed the CPU fan to a new one, and back to a much cooler CPU! I have my cooling policy set to "active,’ and definitely this slows the processor down if the temp goes too high, which it did when the CPU cooling fan was slowing down because of age! Definitely noticed drop outs, but it was protecting the system.

This will take you to a box with multiple headings and dropdowns. Then go to ‘change advanced power settings’ Left click ‘Choose when to turn off the display’ Left click ‘start’, left click ‘settings’ icon, left click ‘System’, left click ‘Power and Sleep,’ Go down to ‘Related Settings’ and left click ‘Additional Power Settings,’ Make sure you are on ‘High Performance’ Plan, left click on ‘Choose What Power Buttons do,’ Click on ‘Change settings that are currently unavailable.’ this should show you the ‘Turn off fast Startup,’ ‘Sleep’ Hibernate buttons.
