The basics

What is Windows power management software?

Windows power management software centrally controls how and when your Windows PCs use energy. Instead of relying on manual settings, or hoping people remember to shut down, it applies consistent shutdown, sleep, hibernate and wake policies across every PC, even when they're spread across sites, departments and networks.

For IT teams, that means fewer home-made scripts, fewer complaints about PCs turning off at the wrong time, and a simple way to prove energy savings to finance and sustainability leads.

How Windows power management software works in real organisations

TaskForceCO2 plugs into your existing Windows estate and gives you one place to define, schedule and enforce power policies. You decide when PCs should sleep, hibernate or shut down, and it makes sure it happens, quietly, in the background.

Control

Central policy control

Define power rules once and apply them to groups, rooms, sites or the whole organisation.

Scheduling

Smart scheduling

Different hours for teaching, evening classes, holidays and maintenance windows, with several power events a day.

Enforcement

Policies that actually happen

Policies apply to the PC, not the user, and don't rely on the standard Windows shutdown, so stuck PCs still go off.

Users

No surprises for staff

Shut down only when nobody is logged on, or warn users first and let them delay a shutdown when they need to.

Exceptions

Critical PCs stay on

Keep servers, reception PCs and special rooms in their own groups with their own rules, or no power scheme at all.

Reporting

Cost and CO₂ in plain numbers

Turn technical savings into money and CO₂ figures that leadership teams and governors understand.

Already using Active Directory? TaskForceCO2 brings your PCs in by OU and can be up and running in minutes, saving money from day one.

Windows power management software for real-world environments

Education

For schools, colleges and universities

Computer rooms, classrooms and staff PCs are often left on overnight, at weekends and through the holidays. Apply different Windows power schedules for the school day, evening classes and term breaks, without touching each machine.

Multi-site

For public sector and multi-site organisations

For councils, trusts and organisations with several sites, TaskForceCO2 gives you one console for every Windows PC. Group PCs by site, department or building and apply policies that match how each area is actually used.

Compatibility

Proving the impact

Proving the impact of Windows power management software

Leadership teams don't want registry keys and group policy screenshots. They want to know how much money and carbon you're saving. TaskForceCO2 turns Windows power management into clear, board-ready numbers.

Energy and cost reporting

See the hours saved by shutting down unused PCs, and what that means in kWh and money, worked out from your own PCs.

CO₂ and sustainability reporting

Convert your savings into CO₂ using your own tariff and emissions factor. Ideal for net-zero plans, ESG reporting and funding bids.
