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.

    Hi BHeMatrix!

    I have followed your described steps for restoring the power plan - that worked well. However, it didn't worked to restore the power options.

    After running the Default Power Options from  Green-file -->Reloaded, some errors occur:

    It is probably something that I am doing wrong but can't figure it out. 

    Your help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you for your contribution and support!
