windows powercfg
Trying to use windows powercfg command prompt.
C:\Windows\system32powercfg /batteryreport gets Invalid Parameters -- try "/?" for help C:\Windows\system32/powercfg /batteryreport gets '/powercfg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, blah blah . . . Used to have a pretty comprehensive battery monitor on this machine. Would read serial number, mfr, cycle count, original capacity, present capacity and dynamic charge/ discharge numbers. Disappeared somehow. Nothing in Acer downloads, currently. Any suggestions? RL |

C:\Windows\system32/powercfg /batteryreport gets '/powercfg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, blah blah . . . that's definitely wrong, shouldn't have the preceding slash |

wrote: powercfg /? Have to learn to take suggestions literally. That prompt got a 5page description of powercfg recognized inputs. Doesn't seem to be an option to simply report current settings and readings. I don't want to manipulate anything - just see if there's something amiss. Too bad there's not a simple smb monitor, built-in. RL |
