advanced power options and csenabled

Hi Nikhar

I'm with Stephan on this. you guys need to either restore all advanced power options and/or allow csenabled to be toggled. Microsoft has rendered switchable graphics useless on laptops as well as other items being set incorrectly ( like wake timers). Replying with boiler plate how to response doesn't cut it. BTW, when i tested this release via windows insider program csenabled was not effected. so Microsoft made a change after the fact.  Please advise.

Dear Nikhar,

I'm writing to you, since you are a Microsoft agent. Thank you for your instructions, which I followed, but to no avail. I'm using Windows 10 Home 20H2. After the update to this version, some of the most important Advanced Power Settings have disappeared (such as those relating to the CPU). Also CSEnabled has disappeared from the registry, with which in the past one was always able to recover them. At present, there is no way to get the complete Advanced Power Settings back by working the registry.

From my user experience, confirmed by some third party diagnostic software, I can tell that Windows now throttles my CPU at 60% when I'm on battery, which makes my device almost useless, as the tablet's CPU is weak even at a 100%. The power mode options to which one gets when clicking on the battery icon on the taskbar are on "Best performance," but they don't don't serve to remedy the problem.

My main reason for writing is kindly to ask you to communicate to those responsible for writing Windows Updates that, at least to this customer's mind, it was a very bad idea to get rid of CSEnabled in the registry, and it would be splendid to reintroduce it with the next Windows Update. I object to being forced by Windows Updates to have to use my tablet plugged in or to have to buy a new one.

After some research, I'm pretty sure that reintroducing CSEnabled into the registry with the next update is the only way to get my computer running on battery again. Of course, if you have a different fix on how to run my tablet at a 100% CPU on battery, I'm happy to hear.

Thank you,

Stephan

Hi,

I understand that advanced power option is missing after the latest update. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.

However, please let us know:

1.     May I know the advanced power options that you are referring to?

2.     May I know the update that was installed? To check go to Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.

3.     Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer Which version of Windows operating system am I running?

You can find the advanced power options by following the steps mentioned below:

Hi, I'm running the latest version windows 10 pro across all of my laptops ( 2 asus zenbooks, and 1 lenovo c740).  After the last update csenabled went missing in regedit. almost all of the advanced power options went missing as well ( previously when this happened you went into csenabled and switched the value from 1 to 0 to restore. so system cooling policy ,wake timers, swtichable graphics ( ie intel, nvidia, power options), etc are all missing. This has caused fan speeds to run out of control even though internal temps are fine. The only way to fix the fan speed, so far, is to back out of graphics drivers on both dedicated and integrated  drivers.  but not being able to access most of these advanced power options is leading to battery drain. i have tried in place upgrade, and system reset ( but not factory reset). 

This seems to have something to do with the modern power slider that is being forced upon everyone without regard to

your individual system ( ie switchable graphics vs integrated only).  None of the boiler plate fixes seem to work. Any thoughts on how to fix? will a clean install of windows work? btw, the windows 10 and microsoft blogs indicate that a lot of people are having the same problem.  thanks for your help. regards, gary
