This is a temporary fix i guess, but it works for me nonetheless

using the command:

"powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c"

does not add the plan high performance in this power plan. So i ended up forcing the plan to run from cmd with this code:

"powercfg -s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c"

and create the ".bat" file to have a launcher so i don't have to type whenever i need to use the plan. The plan runs after couple seconds of delay and appear alongside with "balanced plan". If you change the plan to the original one, the high performance one will dissapear so you need to launch the code again.

    Hey, 

    if you are using windows 10 2004 update then run command in powerSell to get back desired power plan.

    Here are the lines you need to enter in PowerShell: Ultimate Performance: powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

    High Performance: powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

    Balanced: powercfg -duplicatescheme 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

    Power saver: powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a

    I hope it will resolve your issue.
