Windows 10: no power options available fix required

Chiranjeevi Kalisetty · Sep 28, 2020

Hello

As we are facing issue with user machines "There are currently No Power Options Available". All our machines are connected to a domain and we tried the command " secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose " but running CMD as administrator from user and restarted the machines. Post restart we can able to find the power options. Later sometime the same issue starts repeating.

Can anyone help to resolve this issue and if there any fix to apply it from Group Policy to apply it on all users.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

:)

No power options available after Windows update

Please refer to this link:

Fix: Power Options Missing after Windows 10 Creators Update | Driver Talent

Many users found the power option missing in the start menu after
Windows 10 Creators Update. All the power options are not available in
Windows 10 CU when you clicking on the power option in the start menu,
you may no longer see the Sleep/Shut Down/Restart option. Instead,
you'll get a message, saying “There are currently no power options
available.” The only way to sleep/shutdown your computer is to log out
since the power options are available on the sign in the interface. To
get rid of the unsless Windows 10 power options and find those
features back, below are a few tricks for your reference.

Fix Start Menu Not Working after Windows 10 Creators Update

Method 1.

Run SFC /Scannow to Fix Power Options Missing Issue on Windows 10 Creators Update

The power option missing or not working error in Windows 10 Creators
Update could also be caused by corrupt or missing system files. To
rule out that possibility, you could run the SFC command (System File
Checker) to repair the problematic system files and retrieve the power
options. Below is how:

Press Win + X to select Command Prompt (Admin).

Type sfc /scannow and then hit Enter. (Make sure to put a space between “sfc” and the slash.)

Type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes after the sfc /scannow command completes and then hit Enter.

Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter.

Reboot your computer after the process finishes and then try the Sleep, Shut down, or restart option in the power menu to check whether
the power options are available now.

Method 2.

Tweak Group Policy Editor to Resolve Windows 10 No Power Options Available after Creators Update

If running the SFC commands fails to fix the futile power options in
Windows 10, try the Group Policy Editor tweak as below tutorials.
Before the registry tweak, you’d better backup your registry first in
case of any further system issues like blue screen, black screen with
cursor, Windows Hello not working etc.

Go to Search, type gpedit.msc to open Group Policy Editor.

Navigate to the following path:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar

Double-click on "Remove and Prevent Access to the Shut Down command".

Select “Not Configured” or “Disabled” and then click Apply.

Close the Group Policy Editor and then try the power options menu to see if the sleep/hibernate/restart option functions now.

Pro Tip：

If you are a Windows 10 Home user, the Group Policy Editor is not
available. But you can run regedit to open the Registry Editor and
then follow the below path to find the missing power options back:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Ensure that a value named NoClose exists with a value of 0.

Reboot your computer and check whether the Power Options missing bug
gets fixed.

Method 3.

Add User Rights in the Local Security Settings to Get the Missing Power Options Back

Add User Rights in the Local Security Policy is also said helpfully to
repair the power options malfunction:

Press Win + R keys and type: secpol.msc and then hit Enter to open the Local Security Policy.

Go to: Security Settings –> Local Policies –> User Rights Assignment –> Shut down the system.

Choose Properties and then Add Users or Group to add your user id or group.

Once the new user or group has been added, click OK to save changes.

Sign out and Restart your computer.

Sign in and then you should find the Restart & Shutdown options are available.

Method 4.

Update Drivers for the Creators Update to Retrieve the Power Options in Start Menu

Incompatible drivers can result in issues like unresponsive power
options menu, cursor disappearing, CHKDSK /F/R not working,
mouse lagging etc. after Windows 10 CU. To update your device drivers to match the Windows 10 Creators Update and resolve the
