Hi! I've recently found that some Laptops do NOT have some power plans like "High Performance" or "Maximum Power Efficiency", but only have the "Balanced" one. My laptop did too! So here's how i made them reappear. Do not worry, this is a safe procedure.
1st and foremost, you have to open the Windows Registry Editor by clicking windows + r and then you'll have to digit: regedit, click "ok" and then "yes" again on the permission window.
Now, you'll see a bunch of folders, that's the system registry. I want you to go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power"(CLICK ON THE POWER FOLDER, DO NOT GO INTO THE SUBFOLDERS), you'll see a bunch of DWORD's. I want you to:
1 right click where the dword's are
2 create a 32bit dword
3 Rename it to PlatformAoAcOverride and leave it with a value of 0.
Save what you have done and reboot your laptop.
Now, if you still can't find other power plans, i want you to open the PowerShell as Administrator and copy and paste these commands:
- powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c (THIS IS HIGH PERFORMANCE MODE)
- powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a (THIS IS BEST POWER EFFICIENCY)
- powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 (EXTRA ONE - ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE MODE, this is for VERY FAST and energy hungy pc's)
Reboot your pc, just in case, and now you should find these power plans in the Control Panel under the "hidden" power plan section.
Now, why would you do this?
I personally like to have control of what happens in my PC, but i found to have better stability and less latency by using the High Performance and Ultimate Performance plans.
That's it.
