The command "powerprofilesctl list" is used to view the available power profiles on a device.
When a computer or device is running on battery power, it may need to adjust its power settings to conserve energy and extend battery life. Power profiles or power plans are pre-defined configurations that determine the behavior of a device in different power states.
The "powerprofilesctl" command is typically used in Windows operating systems to manage power profiles. By running "powerprofilesctl list," the command lists all the power profiles that are available on the system. This could include profiles such as "Balanced," "Power Saver," or "High Performance."
The list provided by this command allows users to identify which power profile is currently active or to switch to a different profile if needed.
