  2. Power Options: Edit Plan Settings & Advanced Settings - Restore Power Plan Defaults Not Working

    swanTight

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately that suggestion did not resolve the issue.

    The option to "Restore Plan Defaults" for Power Options is still not available and the "Restore Plan Defaults" button on the advanced settings screen is still grayed out.

    Thank You

  3. Getting only balanced power plan

    Hi,

    Please note down the Balanced plan settings if you've customized them.

    Then run the following command in the Admin CMD prompt:

    • powercfg.exe -restoredefaultschemes
    This restores the missing schemes.

    Reconfigure the Balanced plan settings again.
