[Microsoft added a feature called “Ultimate Performance” in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Put simply, this feature switches the system into a high-performance working mode. In essence, Ultimate Performance is built on the High-Performance power plan
 

What Is Ultimate Performance?

Ultimate Performance is a feature designed to give extra power to high-power systems (such as workstations and servers) by optimizing the High-Performance power plan. It aims to reduce or completely eliminate any micro-latency, combined with fine-grained power management techniques. In fact, micro-latency is just the small delay between the moment your operating system recognizes that a piece of hardware needs more power and the moment that hardware reaches the required power.
Ultimate Performance checks the hardware to assess whether it needs to be “pumped” with more power, and at the same time supplies that hardware with power to produce enough of the power it needs. In addition, when you enable Ultimate Performance, all power-saving features are disabled to maximize system performance. That’s why, if the computer runs on battery power, this option is not offered by default, simply because Ultimate Performance may consume more power and drain your battery very quickly.
 

How to Enable Ultimate Performance

 
By default, Ultimate Performance is hidden by Microsoft, and to enable it, you need to follow these steps.

Step 3: Wait a few seconds for Windows PowerShell to finish enabling it and show the result as in the image.

Step 4: Right-click the battery icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen and select  Power Options

 
Step 5: Here, select  Ultimate Performance and you’re done
 

 
From what I’ve found, when enabled, Ultimate Performance checks the hardware and assesses whether it needs to be “pumped” with more power, and at the same time supplies that hardware with more power to produce the power needed to handle heavy tasks.
A small note: when you enable Ultimate Performance, battery-saving settings are completely disabled to fully optimize the system. So if you use a laptop, consider carefully before enabling it.]]>
