  1. How to change the power settings


    Hi I have W10 Pro on an ASUS VivobooxX405 I changed by Power Settings to Balanced because I was operating on battery and did not want my laptop to fail while I was working. The screen lost brightness but it was okay. Now I want to revert to high performance but cannot see the option in Control panel/Power settings. Could someone please let me know how to change the settings Thanks and Regards Daniel

    :)

    Hi Mars,

    This issue might occur if the system's power settings are incorrect or due to software conflicts. We need to ask you a few questions for us to better assist you. Please answer the following information:

    • Were there any recent changes made to your system prior to the issue (updates, software installations, etc.)?
    • What troubleshooting steps you've tried so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a
