## laptop-check.ps1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This script checks a Windows laptop for performance, battery and throttling problems. It takes about 1 minute and includes a 30-second CPU load test.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How to run
|
||||||
|
1. Press **Win + X**, choose **Terminal (Admin)**, then click **Yes**.
|
||||||
|
2. Paste and press Enter:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol='Tls12'; irm https://git.abyres.net/kasyfur/it-support-scripts/raw/branch/main/laptop-check.ps1 | iex
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
3. Run it **twice**: once plugged in and once on battery. Close other apps first.
|
||||||
|
4. Email the `laptop-check-<PC>-<time>.txt` files from the Desktop to **support@abyres.net**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The script also saves `battery-report-<PC>-<time>.html` to the Desktop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### What it checks
|
||||||
|
- Power source, charging status, power mode and CPU cap
|
||||||
|
- Battery health (current capacity vs design) and cycle count
|
||||||
|
- CPU load, top processes, and interrupt/DPC time
|
||||||
|
- 30-second full CPU load test, measuring clock speed under load
|
||||||
|
- Firmware throttling events, unexpected shutdowns with cause, and hardware errors (last 14 days)
|
||||||
|
- RAM, disk space and disk health
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Reading the result
|
||||||
|
Lines marked `[FLAG]` are issues, and they are listed again in the **SUMMARY** at the end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Finding | Likely cause |
|
||||||
|
|---|---|
|
||||||
|
| Load test under ~1,000 MHz | Battery/charger forcing throttling, or overheating |
|
||||||
|
| Battery under 60% of design | Battery worn, replace it |
|
||||||
|
| Battery draining while plugged in | Charger too weak or faulty |
|
||||||
|
| Sudden power loss shutdowns | Battery or adapter |
|
||||||
|
| One process with high CPU% | Software issue, not hardware |
|
||||||
|
| Power mode = Best power efficiency | Settings → System → Power & battery → change Power mode |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Reference (i3-1315U, TravelMate P214-55): about 2,400 MHz plugged in and about 1,600–1,900 MHz on battery under load is normal.
