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.

    Neither of these work. I have latest upgrade build (19041.330). This is on the Surface Pro 4.

    Why did they remove the ability to get higher performance settings? Any reason why Microsoft is trying to kneecap those of us that need high performance for particular applications? This was posted a month ago and obviously the representative thought it was a solution, but it is not, and it seems obvious that either it was purposely taken away, or it is a bug that they aren't acknowledging.

    I'm a software developer, but I like to work for my employer, not Microsoft.

    1. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key and the R key together.
    2. Type Regedit and hit the Enter key.
    3. When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
    4. In the right pane, double click on the DWORD entry named CsEnabledand****set it to 0.
    5. Click Ok and restart the PC to check.

    Windows 10 May update (2004) REMOVEDCsEnabled from the registry. Come on Microsoft give it back please.

    Hi,

    I have the same exact problem.

    The solution offered by Aditya_Roy on June 8, 2020 does not help, as CsEnabled does not exist.

    Is there an actual solution to the problem?

    Thanks.
