    POWERCFG /ENERGY doesn't work anymore

    ??? have you read my post ???

    there's no executable called POWERCNFG.EXE

    FWIW here's what POWERCFG -ENERGY yields with no other options:

    PS> powercfg -energy

    Enabling tracing for 60 seconds...

    Observing system behavior..

    Exact same problem: returns immediately and doesn't create the output file.

    Powercfg /energy immediately exits

    When running "powercfg /energy" the command outputs the following:

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> powercfg /energy

    Enabling tracing for 60 seconds...

    Observing system behavior...

    It immediately returns me to the command line and does not generate a report. I had reinstalled 10 from a restore image (on my surface pro 4) and it was broken. I reset Windows and it started working properly. Now a few days later it's broken again. No updates
    or software has been installed since the last time it worked. It just stopped working.

    Anyone have know how to fix? There are no errors in the event viewer when I try to run.

    Help with powercfg -energy?

    I ran powercfg -energy at an elevated command prompt as it requires administrative privileges:

    I have no idea what to do.

    This is from Settings > Power & sleep:
