Windows 10: How do I fix the "High Performance" power plan disappearing every time I use the command to...

A few days ago I searched for a solution to fix my power plan changing to high performance when I want it on balanced. I found a website and I followed the instructions and I realised it only worked because it completely got rid of the high performance power mode. I can't find the website anymore because I cleared my cache and history but all I remember is that in task manager, in the startup page, I disabled everything. I have tried using the cmd command to bring back the high performance plan but it disappears whenever I switch to the balanced power mode. On the power options page in control

High Performance Power Plan Disappeared

I am using the latest version of Windows 11 and I changed my power plan to "Balanced" just to try it out and when I went back into Control Panel to change it back to "High Performance", it was not there anymore. I tried a lot of suggested fixes that are on the internet but none of them worked. I also tried creating my own power plan and chaning the settings but its just not the same performance as the High Performance power plan. Is there any way to bring it back?
