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 think it's very clear that Microsoft is moving toward the Apple approach that tries to eliminate power users. In other words, they don't care that this is difficult. They are intentionally dumbing down the operating system. Argh.

    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!!!!!

    I bought my daughter a Dell Inspirion 2in1 Oct last year and all was well. Noticed the laptop ran quite hot as I felt the underside of the chassis.  But all was well...

    ..Until the Windows update (latest).

    It keeps turning off. The first time I noticed this (early this year) I could NOT get the PC back up and running.

    Felt the underside of the laptop and it burnt my hand!!

    It was only being used for emails and netflix!

    The fan whizzed away for hours before I was able to turn it back on again. I took apart the chassis and the heat pipe was so hot I was surprised it didnt melt the plastic casing.

    Checked all over for dust - it was clean as a whistle.

    Few things here.

    Microsoft are opening themselves up for blame. I am scratching my head trying to work out why they would take these features away. Despite the fact that Dell's design team have obviously failed with the chassis design - I think it madness not to be able to throttle back the power to the CPU in order to restrain it from getting as hot as it does.

    Anyone remember the wonderful windows update and the automatic deleting of windows.old fiasco? People sued and won.

    Imagine the Dell laptop suddenly not working because of damage to the CPU? 

    I don't have those features within power settings anymore - nor do I have the regedit fix available to me.

    I am currently going trying out some third party apps to control the power and see how that helps.

    Dell's own Power Management is too simplistic so I am not too optimistic that it will work.

    Microsoft - any plans to fix the error?

    (or could you at least offer an explanation as to why it was taken away? there may be good reason for it?)

    This looks great, but I didn't quite follow all the details. Is there a more detailed explanation available?
