Forcing Profiles

In the event you are trying to test a specific profile and determine the best power settings for a specific application, it is possible to mark a profile as a “Forced Profile”, either within the Profile/App Profile administration, or by using the Force Apply option within the tray icon.

This simply means that the profile will be chosen when ANY automation trigger occurs, be it on boot, power event, or application launch. Other profiles will be ignored, and “forced profiles” will always be chosen even if they have no triggers configured themselves. Simply put, other profiles will never be applied, even if their automation triggers match - the forced profile will always be chosen and applied instead.

Obviously this is geared towards testing and temporary usage, so you should ensure that the Force profile checkbox is removed (again either via the admin or tray app) if you wish to resume normal service.
