Windows 10: Power Settings keep resetting

I made this PC a while ago and it keeps having this annoying problem.


Whenever i put the PC to sleep or restart it the power settings keep resetting to the AMD Balanced Plan, and even if i change, swap or do anything with that plan it will always revert to its defaults, after 1H the monitor shuts off and after 2h the PC goes to sleep, but i dont like my monitor always on and every time i have to reset it back 5mins manually.


Any way to lock the power settings or change that power plan permanently ?

Hi Steph,

I will certainly help you with the issue you are experiencing with the power settings on Windows 10.

This issue might occur, if the power settings are corrupt.

Please follow below mentioned steps to fix the issue:

Step 1: Reset and restore the power plans to default

1. Click “Windows Key + X”,
and then click on command prompt.

2. In the command prompt, type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes
and hit Enter.

3. Exit command prompt.

Note: This would reset the power plan settings to default. Any previously customized power plans would be removed.

I also recommend you to check the battery with other PC and see if it is working. If it does, then this may be issue with the battery.
