Windows 10: Performance and other power plans missing from my Power Panel.

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong category, not sure where else I could post it.

The issue is a few months ago all my power plans (including my custom ones) disappeared, the only one remaining is balanced. I'm running on a low end machine and want to use the High Performance plan to get maximum performance in a certain game, as well as improve my laptop's multitasking ability.
I had the High Performance plan on just a few months ago and it suddenly removed itself from the power plan options, as well as plans such as power saver.
Not too sure how to fix this, I've watched a few tutorials that use PowerShell as well as registry edits, and none of those seem to work. The other thing that I've seen on the internet is my power options being blocked by the OEM, meaning my laptop only has 1 plan it's capable of using, but I was able to use the other plans before, so I don't think this is the case.

I'm looking for a permanent fix for this to get my power plans back.

Thanks in advance.

Specs of my laptop:
- HP Envy 13 (model)
-8 GB RAM
-i5-10210U (CPU)
-GPU: Intel UHD 620
Running on Windows 10 (OS Build 19041.804)

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.

Power Plans missing

FIX for -- Disk usage 100% & Missing High Performance plan - Fixed

After trying to get to the power settings through Control Panel, Cortana and random other routes to power settings. Would only list Balanced Power Option. Did some more googling found this on another website, it worked. Why this worked and the other routes
didn't?? I have no idea, but this gave me the fix to the problem. Hope it helps out!

Open Run --- (Window Button + R)

Copy and paste this powercfg.cpl

When the window opens look to the left column.

Click "Create a power plan"

You'll now see
three options instead of just the one.

-Balanced

-Power Saving

-High Performance

Click the bubble for
High Performance

Click Next

Select
My Custom Plan 1

FIXED!

Open Task Manager.. Disk is now 2% etc
