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

    I am running 20H2 and I already have all the options visible with the attributes set to 2.

    The problem is that processor management does NOT work they way they intended few windows versions ago.

    setting the minimum processor usage to 100% used to keep the cpu multiplier at max. Now it does not.

    this snake oil

    I suspect this is not fixable with a simple registry hack. looks like devs stripped the functionality from the actual power management software.

    Someone posted that you can make the settings visible again but some may not do anything. I don't do video editing or 3D models when my laptop is not plugged in. On battery I set the max CPU to 70% and it makes battery life significantly longer. So the BIG question is, did Microsoft remove some of these settings because they no longer work or to just try to dumb down the operating system? Why would they dumb it down as the 'dumb' users probably don't even know how to get to advanced settings let alone what they do. So why not leave them in? Or did their customer service reports show they got a lot if inquiries from people having problems that were in part a result of them making changes in advanced settings not knowing what they were doing?

    As Shaq would say, "we may never know."

    I have used a few different registry patches to bring back the options but none of them are ideal. btw thanks for the script(s) above.

    I can live with the options missing in the home version, but the Win10 Pro should have all of those options available. Microsoft is definitely dummying down Windows. MSFT seems not to care that the user might need more control over their system.
