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 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.

    I don't like the pre-made power plans and manually set all of my own. So I suggest you try to load the .REG options you want, create a custom plan, and then go through and pick all of the options you want. I primarily want to control the CPU and the cooling state and these are now available and working like a charm. Try it that way and let me know how it goes. All the other settings are pretty straight forward.

    Yes I did think it might be the case and it still could be. But really, either way, it still doesn't explain why Microsoft have decided to do this.

    I am giving Dell's own Power Management software another go since it has had an update. Not very good though as its a "cool" setting from "balanced"

    but what "cool" does EXACTLY remains a mystery. I want to know power, fan speed etc so i can knock it down a bit and not let it work so hard. I know that means a performance hit, but really, other than minecraft* its used for online school work and netflix- all of which is just typing.

    (no video editing or serious gaming)

    Temps have been as high as 100c recorded max, but tend to hover around 50 - 70 degrees c with 78 - 85c max being typical highs for a brief moment.

    I have seen them as low as 30 -40c at times.

    Trouble is, you dont get to see at what point it shuts off - unless you sit next to it for hours staring at it.

    *minecraft brought it to its knees and it shut off. That was 1+hours worth and it was off for ages.
