Restore Missing Power Plans Options on Windows

[@charginginprogresss]

Less confusing way if you're using Windows 11: Download the archive Extract it Open the folder where the power plan files are located Right click > Open in Terminal powercfg -import "Name of the power plan file.pow" No need to add complete path to command if you execute powershell within the folder the files are located

I've been trying to restore my power plans for 2 weeks. Tried every method imaginable. Should have watched this video first. Many thanks!!!

Microsoft needs to stop screwing over their customers and start improving the quality of their software

[@shadowopsairman1583]

The ceo needs to be fired and the dev team of windows needs to go back to who they were with Windows 98SE, 2000 and 7

[@Roger-vz7ol]

I agree. That CEO is an overpaid idiot. @@shadowopsairman1583

[@stopthefomo]

i never thought about restoring this!

Hello Brian, they are not inverted comma's as you described they are quotation marks. Just for your information I'm not being critical.

[@Nick41622]

Strange. In Australia, we call them inverted commas as well. I'm not criticising you. Just did a Google search. Inverted commas are just another name for quotation marks.

[@GeoSam]

Thanks Brian always good to know.

[@Britec09]

My pleasure!!

[@LauraKnotek]

Thanks for this video. I have a desktop gaming PC, so ultimate performance is the setting I prefer. I've added it back.

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Can I purchase Windows 10 Pro keys and apply them during the installation of a new Windows 11 Pro copy? If the answer is yes, that sounds like a fantastic deal. Appreciate it!

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Thanks for the video man and thanks for the Windows keys discount as well 😀

[@rockerforlife194]

Love your website. You have taught me so many tricks and tips on windows and I appreciate it very much. Thank you for all you do.

[@mattmclean8768]

Thanks for this vid! I have an HP laptop with their own power plan. Ive tried several times to re-introduce the standard power plan set and ended up following a tutorial to edit the registry when none would show up despite the cmd prompt saying it had been successful for each. For some reason i still can get the "Ultimate" setting to show up even though the others are now there.

[@SetupOne]

Great video! Also thanks for the windows discount!

[@BareFox]

Nice, Thanks for the Windows Key!

[@goofyrulez7914]

Windows is a utility. WHY did microsoft go and screw with it, ruining it as a production tool?

[@ComputerFix]

Very detailed video! Website key windows 10 very good!

[@JimiArchive]

Thank you 🙏

[@PejicVladimir]

Are OEM Windows keys only tied to the motherboard, or the complete hardware spec of the PC?

[@jeizoy]

Mine are still missing even though I did everything correct. Is it a because im with widnows 10?

[@janidedonder]

Same

[@alexchouli1319]

i get the successful message in the terminal but none of the power plans appear what am i doing wrong?

[@RedGamingTech]

[@ricecake681]

[@envyvaliente2152]

thanks i fix it

[@RTKPlanes]

lmao i can afford windows now, thx for the link

[@Phong_Pc_gaming]

i like this web windows 10 key

[@macmill8149]

If you open windows mobility centre from power options, they are there by default. After that they will appear in power options too. No need to do anything else.

[@charginginprogresss]

Except my pc only has one power plan that is the balanced one. So no.

[@macmill8149]

@@charginginprogresss Just click on windows mobility centre on the bottom left in your power options in control panel and you should be able to switch it to either high performance or power saver from there. In any new windows 10/11 installations, there will just be balanced in power options by default.

[@MRNVCDIY]

website key windows 10 very good

[@KungFuDoggo]

nothing work all of that things that i did it didnt work at all

[@davinp]

I don't know Microsoft hasn't moved the power plans to the settings app. You still have to use the old Control Panel to access it

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Control panel is better than "Settings"

[@barenekid9695]

My win 10 (fully updated) has ALL the powerplan options.

[@MrKentaroMotoPI]

Some do, some don't. I think it depends on how Windows was set up. OEM machines tend to have missing plans.

[@_phantombeast_8455]

still doesnt workkk helppppppp

[@Str3sU]

RESPEKT

[@kuffor1989]

did it and its not showing .. im on legion go win 11

[@trainmaster0217]

I've tried everything I could find about how to get my Acer aspire 3 fan to stop running after shutdown. Nothing has worked. There are no power or fan settings In the BIOS. I updated to the latest BIOS. It runs after shutdown and drains the battery. Tried resetting the OS to win 7, 10 and 11 and still the fan runs after shutdown. I contacted Acer but no response from them. So what I do is run the computer with the fan disconnected on the motherboard. The CPU temp with the fan running is around 35c. With the fan unplugged it runs at 45c still in the safe mode. Made sure I have the latest drivers but it's a no go. Wondering if a new motherboard would fix it. Terrible computer I bought.

[@MrKentaroMotoPI]

It's either a BIOS bug, or a defective fan controller on the motherboard.

[@trainmaster0217]

I totally agree with you because I've tried ALL of the suggestions that I could find on the web and of course nothing worked.@@MrKentaroMotoPI and another thing. I tried to install a second ssd but the computer won't turn on with it installed. Pull the sata HD cable and it turns on. Just weird. Thanks for your reply.

[@MrKentaroMotoPI]

@@trainmaster0217 Well, the SSD shouldn't cause that problem. SATA is a very mature and reliable interface. At worst, the BIOS might not recognize it. Try the SSD in another machine. Also try swapping out the power supply - assuming it's a standard ATX interface. All your strange power issues point to it as another suspect.

[@trainmaster0217]

The SSD I used is from another laptop that works just fine. The only other power supply "brick" that I have is from a DELL that won't fit if that's what you mean. by swapping power supplies. I only paid $15 for it at a yard sale. I was able to ask her later if she had trouble with it and she said that's the reason she sold it. She said the battery wouldn't stay charged.. She didn't know the fan kept running after shutdown thus draining the battery. She said it was like that when she bought it new. I tried entering the BIOS debug mode to get more options like power settings but this laptop looks like it doesn't support debug. Tried 3 different methods but of course they didn't work. Looks like using the laptop with the fan disconnected is my only choice. I put a cpu temp monitor on it down in the tray to keep watch on the cpu..and so far so good.. I don't game so there shouldn't be much of a load on it.

[@alexanderr.539]

You've apparently got a hardwear issue -- some transistor or control chip on the MB is broken. Go find a decent (component level) repair shop to fix it. No reason to wine in comments about the "awful laptop you've bought on garage sale for $15". ACER won't help you either, cause you're out of warranty now.

[@sbdonlon]

so um. i hate win11, wont let me add new power plans.
