Your power plan information isn't available. Can't edit/delete/etc. Power Plans.

If you own a Samsung laptop, disable the 'fast start' feature search for 'fast' in the search bar. I had the exact same problem now it works fine i have control over my power settings.

System

Windows 7 Home 32-bit

P.S I found this tip on the Microsoft answers site.

Also, did you try running the following command from an "elevated" command prompt, to set all default power plans back to default settings:

Start > type cmd.exe in the "Search programs and files" box, then right-click cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"

Then, at the command prompt, type the following and press "Enter":

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
