Contains the AutoHotKey v2.0 script needed to use HotKeys to change Dell Optimizer Thermal Management Modes.
This is useful for Dell Latitude Systems
[!IMPORTANT] This script is required to be started as an Administrator, or else Dell Optimizer CLI
do-cli.exe
will not be able to apply settings.
do-cli.exe
can be found at"C:\Program Files\Dell\DellOptimizer\do-cli.exe"
, Standard Installation path for Dell OptimizerSadly there is no popup to alert you if you have switched modes, but it works every single time I’ve checked!!
[!TIP] There’s a guide below to help you start the script as Administrator via Task Scheduler when logged on (Makes life much easier!!)
[!IMPORTANT] Install AutoHotKey v2. Install it for
All users
in the setup.Download the script I’ve made from Releases
Place it wherre you prefer!! Remember the location of the file, this will be needed to start the script as Administrator on login!!
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + 1 to 4 (top number row)
You can use Notepad or whatever editor you use to edit text files and scripts
If you want to change the Hotkeys Take a look at HotKey Modifier Symbols
An example - Say you want to use Shift + O for Optimized mode, in the script, you need to change ^+!1::
to +O::
^+!1::
{
run "cmd.exe /k`"C:\Program Files\Dell\DellOptimizer\do-cli.exe`" /configure -name=SystemPowerConfiguration.ThermalMode -value=Optimized",, "Hide"
}
Changes to this
+O::
{
run "cmd.exe /k`"C:\Program Files\Dell\DellOptimizer\do-cli.exe`" /configure -name=SystemPowerConfiguration.ThermalMode -value=Optimized",, "Hide"
}
