The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.
Description¶
Most modern laptops have connected standby enabled which drains the battery, this sets hibernation as default which will not drain the battery. See issue https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues/1399

Registry Changes¶
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on Wikipedia and Microsoft's Website.
