Windows 10: High-Performance power plan has disappeared and restored. Did my custom settings applied to...

I had some issues with my Laptop battery and wanted to fix it. I ran the troubleshooter and it said that I should run on Balanced power plan. I did it, but my High-Performance power plan has disappeared. I restored it, but I don't think my custom settings applied or not. I have written some settings on Notepad and it was the same.

I thought that I was all good, but my laptop is slow now. It wasn't slow that much when I was in High-Performance mode. For example, when I right-click, it usually takes like 0.5 seconds to show the menu, but now it takes like 5-6 seconds!

I can't really remember what I've changed since It has been like 1 or 2 years now.

I really don't know what's going on, so I wanna know: Did my custom settings applied to the restored plan? If not, is there a way to restore the old ones? Like, is there a .old file where the power plans are?



I have Lenovo Ideapad 300, Windows 10 Pro, 4GB of RAM.

Power plan?

Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type in Power Settings.
• On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
• Select High performance.

After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

Get back to us if you need further help.
