You are in the correct area to look, I think. On my Toshiba there is a
special Control Panel app called "Toshiba Power Mangement". Look for a
vendor specific on on your machine. Also, read the intructions which
cam with your laptop for further guidance. Check on the manufacturer's
web site if you don't have the manual for your laptop.

it could be your laptop doens't have the power management
software/hardware or it's configured wrongly. again, read the
instructions manual for your laptop for more guidance.
