Tool to auto-set settings like main display & energy options

1

Is there a way to auto set (semi-automatic) some settings in Windows 10, because when I use my Laptop at home, I only want to use my external monitor, not the laptop's monitor; also, by default, it goes to energy saving mode when closed: this can also be changed via the Control Panel. After some time it gets quite annoying to click though the Control Panel one by one, so I would like to have a tool where one just has to press a button or something to do those things.

@Psycogeek Alright, switching the power profile in cmd works; any idea on how to do a similar thing to set screen settings (duplicate display, extend display, only show desktop on 1/2)? – Simon – 2015-08-08T09:07:24.393

@Psycogeek, you can just do powercfg -l (-list) to get a list of schemes. The entire query thingy was for windows 2003. – LPChip – 2015-08-15T05:24:55.493

WIN-P brings up "extend/duplicate monitor" side charm bar , which allows you to quickly configure a couple of monitors or projectors.
