Hi,

Disable turn off this device to save power for NIC Power Management (PowerShell)

As you mentioned that you can use regedit to achieve the goal, and yes, it worked.

Your concern of changing the registry entries by mistake makes sense, so if you are
going to edit it, please remember to back up your registry at first.

how to back up registry

how to import registry files

Then follow these:

1. Open Device Manager, double click your network adapter, on Details tab, record
its Driver key. (In my test environment, it is {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-
08002be10318}\0011)

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-
E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\DeviceNumber (mine is 0011)

3. In the right pane, please confirm a string value called "DriverDesc", its data
should be your physical NIC.

4. In the right pane, find the "PnPCapabilities" value and change its data to
0x00000008. If the value doesn't exist, you can change the static of the NIC�s
power Management in UI, then the key will created automatically.

5. After changing the registry value, please disable and enable the NIC to check
the result.
