Reset and Restore Power Plans to Default Settings in Windows 10


Hey Shawn,

I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 16232 and I have only one power plan. The High Performance and Power Saver plans are not shown.





I ran powercfg -restoredefaultschemes and then powercfg -list and this is what is shown.





I have exported both High Performance and Power Saver plans from another Windows 10 install and have imported them into this build 16232, but they still refuse to show up in power options. Any ideas?

 

Restore Missing Default Power Plans in Windows 10  

Hi Brink, there's good and bad news *really
The good news: I was able to restore all missing power plans. The bad news: the restored power plans show up as long as Modern Standby is disabled (value 0 in csenabled registry key).
Here is what I did:
I started having "Balanced" as the only power plan displayed. I then disabled Modern Standby as you suggested and multiple instances of the various power plans showed up as seen below:



So I then went ahead to delete the added power plans to start from a clean state using your instructions
I then added the power plans using Powershell as explained in this thread. The power plans were added successfully as shown below:



I then enabled Modern Standby, rebooted and this was the result:



So I disabled Modern Standby and finally got back the missing power plans again:



Also I observed another change: now, the power icon in system tray does not show the slider to set it to save or best performance, as seen below:



So the question remains: how to have Power in Control Panel show all Power Plans without having Modern Standby Disabled.
