Windows 10: didnt a meta "advanced power options" regfile exist at one point?

I could have sworn a comprehensive regfile including all the prominent advanced power options for the power advanced menu existed somewhere?

I'm having little luck with google other than spatterings of one or the other here or there.

Anyone know what im talking about, or have one stashed away?

the one I have is from 2014 and its not comprehensive and certainly not windows 10 era.
