    Thank you for confirming you are looking at the same dialogue.
    What is your current build level? Mine's 14393.321

    I've never noticed that not be there, but I don't go looking for it very often.

    Can you please post a screenshot of what you see?

    When you reply to dalchina, please include
    1 whether or not the checkboxes [for Fast start, Sleep, Hibernate, Lock] are active or greyed out
    2 whether you are logged in to a user account that you created or the Built-In Administrator account [i.e. the account that has the username Administrator].

    The only problem I ever had in Power Settings was that I lost the option to Sleep. That was fixed by updating my video card driver. You could see if any of your drivers need updating.

    If UAC is disabled, the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" option will not be available.

    Sparks79,

    Now I am a bit confused. The question seemed to be about the entry Change settings that are currently unavailable in Power options, change what the power buttons do [and hence the screenshot that dalchina posted and to which you responded, "This is exactly what I mean"].

    Now the question seems to be about the entry Change settings that are currently unavailable in Power options, {power plan}, Change plan settings, Change advanced plan settings. I think that this setting disappeared after the Require password on wakeup entry was removed as that had been the only entry that had not been available initially. The Require password on wakeup entry was a duplication of entries elsewhere in Power options so they probably just decided to do some tidying up.

    So I don't think the entry Change settings that are currently unavailable would have any work to do now if it was still there.

  14. dalchina confused the post by showing a screen shot of the wrong settings.

    Yes, it has been removed, but the options are still available. I'm assuming you are trying to follow instructions for fixing an external monitor that randomly goes to sleep? If that's the case, expand Sleep, the System unattended sleep timeout is the 2nd option. And, by the way, I had to set mine to 999. 20 minutes worked for a few weeks, but then it started going to sleep again. It hasn't gone to sleep since I increased it to 999, but I only changed it a week ago, so I'm still considering it in testing.

    If that's not why you needed that setting, please, disregard the previous paragraph.

    greenangel,

    By the way, dalchina posted the right diagram. The question was changed afterwards.

    You can write in Never instead of entering a number for that sleep setting.
