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.

    This is how I resolved it.

    • Right-click on the battery icon in the Taskbar and select windows mobility center.
    • Click the drop-down arrow in the battery status panel and select high performance.

    • Right-click on the battery icon in the Taskbar and select windows mobility center.
    • Click the drop-down arrow in the battery stsus panel and select high performance.

    The slide bar is pre-set to high-performance but you are not able to change the settings in the profile options.

    My previous post on page 3 has the Windows official power scheme files with the CsEabled fix and is the only method that actually works!

    In Windows Mobility Center and upon selecting the dropdown menu from the Battery Status Panel you may select one of three options: Balanced, Power Saver, and High performance.

    The only available option in Windows Mobility Center for Battery Status on my Surface Pro 6 is "Balanced".
