Windows 10: High Performance Power Setting !

Hi again, I normally have my "Power option" set to "Balance" on my Windows 10 laptop. I have the laptop plugged in all the time so today I decided to try the "High performance" setting. I am now reading about the "Ultimate setting" which at the present time I don't appear to have. I am not into any form of gaming so would you advice me to "stay clear" of this setting ? I have read how to get it by using Command prompt etc but would it be worth it ? My laptop is about 8 years old now and I just use it for every day things plus PowerPoint presentations.

High Performance Power Settings

Hi,

Somehow I have completely lost the "High Performance" setting in Control Panel > Power. As now I totally need to rebuild this (believe me, this needs redoing), can anyone please supply a list of all exact settings in "Change Advanced Power Settings".

Thank you,

DC
