Windows 10: Ultra/High performance save power when I am not use the PC?

I know it can be one silly question, but I'm curious to know if these power options don't continue to consume power when I am not using, I know it will consume a certain energy, because the PC will shut down if it doesn't have enough energy, although I don't know exactly how much is the difference between the balanced and high/ultra consume in the "background", or when the PC is "stopped". Anyway, do you know as well how this save power works when the PC is "stopped"?

High Performance Power Settings

Hi,

Somehow I have completely lost the "High Performance" setting in Control Panel > Power. As now I totally need to rebuild this (believe me, this needs redoing), can anyone please supply a list of all exact settings in "Change Advanced Power Settings".

Thank you,
