With Windows 10 Spring Creators Update version 1803, Microsoft introduced a new power scheme - Ultimate Performance. It is designed to reduce micro-latencies and will require the system to consume more power to give full performance.

With a simple trick, you can get it enabled in ANY edition of Windows 10 version 1803.
