## Optimizing power and performance on Surface Book 3
Windows 10 includes a Battery Saver mode with a performance slider that lets you maximize app performance (by sliding it to the right) or preserve battery life (by sliding it to the left). Surface Book 3 implements this functionality algorithmically to optimize power and performance across the following components:
- CPU Energy Efficiency Registers (Intel Speed Shift technology) and other SoC tuning parameters to maximize efficiency.
- Fan Maximum RPM with four modes: quiet, nominal, performance, and max.
- Processor Power Caps (PL1/PL2).
- Processor IA Turbo limitations.
By default, when the battery drops below 20 percent, the Battery Saver adjusts settings to extend battery life. When connected to power, Surface Book 3 defaults to “Best Performance” settings to ensure apps run in high performance mode on the secondary NVIDIA GPU present on all i7 Surface Book 3 systems.
Using default settings is recommended for optimal performance when used as a laptop or detached in tablet or studio mode. You can access Battery Saver by selecting the battery icon on the far right of the taskbar.
### Game mode
Surface Book 3 includes a new game mode that automatically selects maximum performance settings when launched.
### Safe Detach
New in Surface Book 3, apps enabled for Safe Detach let you disconnect while the app is using the GPU. For supported apps like *World of Warcraft*, your work is moved to the iGPU.
### Modifying app settings to always use a specific GPU
You can switch between the power-saving but still capable built-in Intel graphics and the more powerful discrete NVIDIA GPU and associate a GPU with a specific app. By default, Windows 10 automatically chooses the appropriate GPU, assigning graphically demanding apps to the discrete NVIDIA GPU. In most instances there is no need to manually adjust these settings. However, if you frequently detach and reattach the display from the keyboard base while using a graphically demanding app, you’ll typically need to close the app prior to detaching. To enable continuous use of the app without having to close it every time you detach or reattach the display, you can assign it to the integrated GPU, albeit with some loss of graphics performance.
In some instances, Windows 10 may assign a graphically demanding app to be iGPU; for example, if the app is not fully optimized for hybrid graphics. To remedy this, you can manually assign the app to the discrete NVIDIA GPU.
**To configure apps using custom per-GPU options:**
1. Go to **Settings** > **System** > **Display** and select **Graphics Settings**.
1. For a Windows desktop program, choose **Classic App** > **Browse** and then locate the program.
2. For a UWP app, choose **Universal App** and then select the app from the drop-down list.
2. Select **Add** to create a new entry on the list for your selected program, select Options to open Graphics Specifications, and then select your desired option.
![Select power saving or high performance GPU options](./images/graphics-settings2.png)
3. To verify which GPU are used for each app, open **Task Manager,** select **Performance,** and view the **GPU Engine** column.

3. *Software license required for some features. Sold separately.*
## Streamlined device management
Following the public announcement of Surface Dock 2, Surface will release streamlined management functionality via Windows Update enabling IT admins to utilize the following enterprise-grade features:
- **Frictionless updates**. Update your docks silently and automatically, with Windows Update or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, (formerly System Center Configuration Manager - SCCM) or other MSI deployment tools.
- **Wake from the network**. Manage and access corporate devices without depending on users to keep their devices powered on. Even when a docked device is in sleep, hibernation, or power off mode, your team can wake from the network for service and management, using Endpoint Configuration Manager or other enterprise management tools.
- **Centralized IT control**. Control who can connect to Surface Dock 2 by turning ports on and off. Restrict which host devices can be used with Surface Dock 2. Limit dock access to a single user or configure docks so they can only be accessed by specific users in your team or across the entire company.

If you are running Windows 10, version 1803 or later, Subscription Activation will automatically pull the firmware-embedded Windows 10 activation key and activate the underlying Pro License. The license will then step-up to Windows 10 Enterprise using Subscription Activation.

If you are using Windows 10, version 1607, 1703, or 1709 and have already deployed Windows 10 Enterprise, but you want to move away from depending on KMS servers and MAK keys for Windows client machines, you can seamlessly transition as long as the computer has been activated with a firmware-embedded Windows 10 Pro product key.
