Important  The Native 802.11 Wireless LAN interface is deprecated in Windows 10 and later. Please use the WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI) instead. For more information about WDI, see WLAN Universal Windows driver model.

 

This OID supports Set operation. If a miniport driver reports that it supports automatic Power Save Mode (Auto-PSM) capability, then Windows issues this OID when appropriate. For example, when the power policy UX does not set Wi-Fi power to "Maximum Performance". On receipt of this OID, devices should operate intelligently in a power efficient way, and transition in and out of PS mode as appropriate.
