Presentation Settings

Presentation Settings, internally known as Microsoft Mobile PC Presentation Adaptability Client, is a component of Microsoft Windows that serves as a complement for Presentation Mode and its main management tool.

History
Presentation Settings was introduced alongside Presentation Mode in Windows Vista and can be accessed via Control Panel → Hardware and Sound → Windows Mobility Center → Adjust settings before giving a presentation. This opens a dialog that contains settings available for Presentation Mode, where users can choose what will happen when it is enabled. Changes available include:


 * Turning off notifications and the Sleep power feature obligatorily to prevent interruptions
 * Turning off screen saver (if configured)
 * Setting the volume to a specific level
 * Changing the desktop background to a black image or a preinstalled one.

If the user wants to start Presentation Mode right from the Presentation Settings window, the "I am currently giving a presentation" checkbox can be ticked to start it automatically without having to go to Windows Mobility Center.

Since Presentation Settings is a complement for Presentation Mode, it is not available on basic SKUs of the supported systems, such as Home Basic and Premium in Vista and 7 and Home, Home Single Language, and Home China in 8, 8.1, and 10.
