The problem

Hello, sadly "energy saver" feature doesn't work when plugged in, my notebook is not very powerful and and doest't have a big memory ram and we can use many heavy program at thesame time and battery can get tired...it will be great to add option to enable permanently energy saver even when plugged in (without battery) to avoid freeze and lag, thank you so much !
