If at least one battery is available, the function returns PlatformRoleMobile. If no batteries are available, the function returns PlatformRoleDesktop.
Note This API has a newer version. To query additional power platform roles defined after Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, use PowerDeterminePlatformRoleEx.
