    I'cant delete my power plan!


    When i first bought this computer there is no "Ultimate Performance" plan choice, and i search for this for internet to how can i add Ultimate Performance plan. I was told to write this plan to cmd "[COLOR=rgba41, 41, 41, 1]powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00–03f14749eb61"[/COLOR] and i did. But now i want to delete it, because when i want to change "Balance Mode" or "Power Saving" automatically reverts to Ultimate Performance, and i cant delete. I tried every way, i tried deleting it from the power options, i tried deleting it from cmd and none of this worked. Disappears first and comes back when the PC is Reset and or after a while. I could not fix this problem and i couldn't find any resources.

    :)

    Power plan?

    Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

    For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + S.
    • Type in Power Settings.
    • On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
    • Select High performance.

    After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

    Get back to us if you need further help.

  4. I'cant delete my power plan!

    I now have over 100 addtional power plans, how do I delete them other than one at a time?

    Hi Mike,

    You may try deleting power plans by following the steps below:

    • If you are deleting custom power plans, open a command prompt by right-clicking on the
      Start button and selecting Command Prompt, then go to step 3.
    • If you are deleting built-in Balanced, Power Saver, or
      High Performance power plans, open an elevated command prompt by right-clicking on the
      Start button and selecting Command Prompt (Admin), then go to step 3.
    • Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt, and press
      Enter
      . This will give you a list of all existing power plans on the PC along with their
      GUID. Note the GUIDs that are listed next to the power plans that you want to delete:
      power cfg /list
    • If the power plan you want to delete is currently set as your active plan, then you will need to set another power plan as your active plan first.
      (Note: An asterisk * to the right of the power plan in step 3 above will indicate your current active plan.)
    • Type the following command into the command prompt, and press Enter
      to delete the power plan: powercfg -delete GUID
      • Note: Substitute GUID in the command above with the actual GUID of the power plan you want to delete.

        For example:

        powercfg -delete fcbb086e-4380-47d6-8a79-f4a099526dfa
    • When finished, you may close the command prompt.

    Let us know how it goes.
