How it works
- Choose unplugged, plugged in, or either.
- It follows Windows' power notifications, so there's no polling.
- The routine receives whether the PC is now on AC power and the battery percentage.

Questions
- How do I change settings automatically when I unplug my laptop?
- Create a routine with Plugged in or unplugged set to unplugged, and add steps like Set power plan or Set brightness. A second routine set to plugged in can switch them back.
- Can one routine handle both plugging in and unplugging?
- Yes. Choose "either" and use an If with Plugged in or on battery to pick the steps.
