Depending on the hardware configuration of your Dell laptop, Dell Power Manager also supports alert notifications that are related to the power adapter, battery, docking, and USB-C device or protocol incompatibility.
Peak Shift is an optional feature that reduces power consumption by automatically switching the computer to battery power during certain times of the day, even if the computer is plugged into a direct power source. After Peak Shift begins, the computer will run on battery power until the combined charge level of all batteries reaches a minimum threshold. See Enabling Peak Shift for instructions on how to change these settings. Then, if the computer is plugged in, it is powered by the direct power source; however, the battery will not charge until the Peak Shift ends.
A few days ago (early May 2021), this change rolled out. Suddenly the power settings appeared in a new tile in the MyDell App. I would guess as a way to avoid confusing of having the same settings in two places, the Dell Power Manager app was literally removed from my Inspiron when the My Dell application was updated. Thanks Dell for just forcing that chance and not telling anyone.
I prefer the separate dedicated app rather than having to open MyDell to change power & battery settings, but the same controls from DPM were in MyDell and so I thought....whatever. If Dell wants to move things around so be it, and that is one less app (Dell Power Manager) to deal with.
Well, the last update to MyDell removed the new power settings from My Dell app and put in a link back to the old Dell Power Manager app. Clicking the link opens the Microsoft store where Dell Power Manager can be downloaded and installed (downloaded an installed is necessary since Dell auto-removed this app earlier). Once the Microsoft store version of Dell Power Manager installs, it then wants to download a driver pack to complete the setup. In the driver pack is a check that then fails and says that this functionality has been moved to MyDell. Aaaaargh. So MyDell is now where this is supposed to be (but isn't) so Dell Power Manager can't install standalone, but MyDell does not have the functionality and links to the Dell Power Manger app (which can't install).
I run into the same issue some time ago. Unfortunately, it seems that even in 2023 dell did not provide official GUI app like "Dell Power Manager" on Windows. As one of the answers above suggested, one option is to use Dell's CCTK CLI, which dell luckily provides for both Windows and Linux.
How is power management being done in Elementary at the moment? Power managing the NVidia GPU seems important, and at the moment this is the only article I can find -optimus-nvidia-gpu-on-the-dell-xps-15-with-linux-even-on-battery However, it is TLP which is not installed, and so makes me suspect that Elementary might be using a competing power management solution?
This package contains the Dell Power Manager Service application. Dell Power Manager is an application that allows you to extend the battery life of the system. You can configure how the battery is maintained based on your personal preferences. It also supports alert notifications that are related to power adapter, battery, docking, and USB Type-C device or protocol incompatibility.
We tested the Dell Power Manager application. During the installation an app from the Windows Store is downloaded and installed. As our installer runs in the SYSTEM context, this interaction with the Store is not supported. The Dell Power Manager app is available from the Microsoft Store for Business as an alternative way to distribute the app -us/store/details/dell-power-manager/9PD11RQ8QC9K
In addition, Dell Command Power Manager also supports alter notifications related to battery, power adapter, USB Type-C devices, and protocol incompatibility depending on your hardware configurations.
Step 2. In the Microsoft Store window, type Dell power in the Search field and select the Dell Power Manager app from the listed result.
Of course, if you want to uninstall the Dell battery manager later, right-click the Start menu and select Apps and Features, select Dell Power Manager from the list of programs and click on Uninstall.

Dell Command Power Manager allows you to manage power utilization, battery charging, and thermal settings on supported Dell laptops. It provides detailed information about your system’s batteries, including battery health, charge status, battery type, connection type, and whether the battery is Dell original or not.
Active-state power management (ASPM) is a power management mechanism for PCI Express devices to garner power savings while otherwise in a fully active state. Predominantly, this is achieved through active-state link power management; i.e., the PCI Express serial link is powered down when there is no traffic across it. It is normally used on laptops and other mobile Internet devices to extend battery life.
As serial-based PCI Express devices become less active, it is possible for the computer's power management system to take the opportunity to reduce overall power consumption by placing the link PHY into a low-power mode and instructing other devices on the link to follow suit. This is usually managed by the operating system's power management software or through the BIOS, thus different settings can be configured for laptop battery mode versus running from the battery charger. Low power mode is often achieved by reducing or even stopping the serial bus clock as well as possibly powering down the PHY device itself.
While ASPM brings a reduction in power consumption, it can also result in increased latency as the serial bus needs to be 'woken up' from low-power mode, possibly reconfigured and the host-to-device link re-established. This is known as ASPM exit latency and takes up valuable time which can be annoying to the end user if it is too obvious when it occurs. This may be acceptable for mobile computing, however, when battery life is critical.
Currently, two low power modes are specified by the PCI Express 2.0 specification; L0s and L1 mode. L0s concerns setting low power mode for one direction of the serial link only, usually downstream of the PHY controller. L1 shuts off PCI Express link completely, including the reference clock signal, until a dedicated signal (CLKREQ#) is asserted, and results in greater power reductions though with the penalty of greater exit latency.
The enhancements made to Windows 7 for managing power settings for network adapters greatly reduces the number of spurious wakes. It allows computers to sleep for longer periods of time when idle. Furthermore, you can configure the power management settings to meet the needs of your users through device properties, standard registry settings.
The Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power setting controls how the network card is handled when the computer enters sleep. This setting can be used if a driver misrepresents how it handles sleep states.
You can use Device Manager to change the power management settings for a network adapter. To disable this setting in Device Manager, expand Network Adapters, right-click the adapter, select Properties, select the Power Management tab, and then clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
However, with some Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 installations, you may want to use the registry to disable the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power network adapter power management setting. Or you may want to use the registry to configure the wake options described above.
By default, a value of 0 indicates that power management of the network adapter is enabled. A value of 24 will prevent Windows 7 from turning off the network adapter or let the network adapter wake the computer from standby.
