Hi

Advanced power options went missing after the last update. No processor options, usb, gpu power, etc. The usual fix of CSEnabled in regedit is no longer there. The fan speed is out of control even with the slider bar set to better battery. Any help would be appreciated.  thanks

Hi All,

I too was fed up with this issue getting nowhere online.

I created a short script that will change req items to allow for advanced options to be displayed.

$sting77 = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings"<br><br>$querylist =  reg query $sting77<br><br>foreach ($regfolder in $querylist){<br><br>    <br><br>    $active = $regfolder -replace "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" , "HKLM:"<br><br>    <br><br>    Get-ItemProperty -Path $active<br><br>    Set-ItemProperty -Path "$active" -Name "Attributes" -Value '2'<br><br>    <br><br>    }

Run this in an Elevated Powershell ISE and it should fix it straight away as mine are now showing:

Thanks

    This does not work.  They have been totally removed except for  "Balanced".  So how can this "Show" something that no longer exists?

    If this happens then you probably have a registry file glitch, type this command prompt: powercfg -restoredefaultschemes to restore win-default scheme and now import the power saver or high-performance plans back again this should resolve it but if not try Troubleshooter.

    How to import power plan schemes:

    1. Go to my youtube video and download the Revolutions zip file from http://youtu.be/ME\_2EkOgNfM
    2. Open the Scheme folder and click on power saver or high-performance plans (Green battery icon) files.
    3. A message will appear successfully imported, now check to see if the new power plan scheme is visible.

    P.S. Make sure your Windows account is set in administrator and not in user mode!

    I have a current generation Lenovo T14 AMD Gen 1 running 20H2 and am missing the advanced power options like everyone else on this thread.  And, like you all, I can't belive that Micorosoft has made this change without notice or (apparently) recource to restore the historic settings.  Not sure where we can go with this, but three pages of user critical comments and no reply from MS is concerning.

    I use a Surface Go as a music streamer. This last update ruined my ability to turn my screen off while keeping the music playing. This is so frustrating! What the hell, Microsoft!!!!!

    My previous post on page 1 has the Windows official power scheme files with the CsEabled fix and is the only method that actually works!

    I couldn't get the pre-made power plans to show up either, but I never liked those anyway. So I just create a custom plan. I just needed to be able to set the CPU power, etc. and those options were missing. The .REG file changes worked instantly for me. I'll be shocked if they disappear as long as I don't do a major update.
