Windows 10: cant change my battery from balanced

i cannot for the life of me change my battery from balanced.

:)

 

Battery is draining so fast after yesterday update, please help me

Hello,

On some occasions, Windows Update may change your custom settings. For example, your Power plan may be changed to High Performance instead of Power saver. Not only that but also related to brightness or display settings, but covers a lot of advanced power
options that impact battery life drastically. To resolve your issue we suggest that you retrieve your old settings before moving on with additional steps. Here are the steps:

• Right-click on Battery icon in the Notification area and open Power Options.
  
• Now, you can select either Balanced or Power saver plan.
• Select one and open Change plan settings.
• Click on Restore default settings for this plan.
• When prompted, click Yes and that should restore your settings to default.

In addition, you may also change the Advanced power settings to decrease battery drainage.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check-

• Click on Start and then control panel.
  
• Open the option of Sound and in the tab of
  playback click on the windows displaying speakers. This enables the button properties, click on it.
  
• This opens new window as Speakers properties, here click on the tab
  Levels.
• Now click on the button Balance in front of the speaker volume bar.
  
• This will open another small window of Balance. Here you may adjust the balance between the left and right speakers as per requirement.
  

Hope this helps. Let us know the results.
