Cannot run "powercfg -batteryreport"

Hi

Strange behavior?

Is the battery-report.html file created in the root of the C: drive?

What happens when you type  powercfg /?  and press Enter from an Elevated command prompt.

Do you a list of the command options?

Let us know.

Regards

the battery-report.html is not created at all, here is the error message

when I type in powercfg /? I do get a list of commands however..

thanks

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm running windows 8.1

Hi

Plug the computer into an AC socket and try the following command.

powercfg -energy -output energyreport.html

Look for the energyreport.html file in the root of C:.

The energy report command works, the HTML file is in the root of C:, and the file shows me the energy efficiency of my surface pro in a span of 60 seconds.

What I'm looking for is the battery report, an overall report of the laptop's battery, ie charge cycles, etc.

thanks

bump anyone? I really want to see how my battery is holding up

thanks

I have the same problem on the battery report, except on the energy command I also get the following error:

"The Power Efficiency Diagnostic library (energy.dll) could not be loaded."

I'm running Windows 8 on a Sony Duo 13 with Active Directory log in that is admin on local system.
