Windows 10: Why do I only have a balanced power plan in Windows 11?

Why do I only have a balanced power plan in Windows 11? I also want high performance for games. I tried to run this command in the command line but it says 'access denied': reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Getting only balanced power plan

Hi,

Please note down the Balanced plan settings if you've customized them.

Then run the following command in the Admin CMD prompt:

• powercfg.exe -restoredefaultschemes
  

This restores the missing schemes.

Reconfigure the Balanced plan settings again.

Just like in title.

I have to manually activate high performance plan in CMD, because every time I switch back to balanced plan via GUI, high performance plan disappears, leaving only balanced plan on the list.

Expected behaviour: I should be able to switch to high performance plan in GUI.

Getting only balanced power plan

Hello,

Windows 11 devices that support Modern Standby will usually only have the Balanced power plan scheme available by default, and can only add custom power plans.

If your Windows 11 device doesn't support Modern Standby, then you could use the tutorial below to restore any missing default power plans you want.
