The non-binary power saving functionality is part of the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15014. The new user interface is currently available only to the Fast Ring. Microsoft intends for the new power-saving setting to replace the binary toggle for the operating system’s power-saving mode. That means users must be able to smoothly slide between best battery life and best performance options instead of switching between two different power settings.

Dona Sarkar, software engineer of Windows and devices group at Microsoft, explained the new power slider: Here’s what to expect from this new UI: Microsoft plans to make the slider visible only to people for whom the slider actually provides different levels of performance and power savings.
