Hi,
I am on Windows 10 on a new HP laptop. I went looking to adjust my power settings today and found that when I click "change plan settings" it just tells me I am on the "HP Recommended" plan with no option to change it. When I click "Change Advance Power Settings", the drop down menu that displays the available power plans again only says "HP Recommended (Active)". Should I not have more options? I want a high performance option, but it is giving me no other power plan options? Am I missing something?!
Also, when I unplug my charge, my screen's brightness lowers. However, when I check brightness level, it still states it is at 100% even thought it is definitely lower than it was on charge. I have tried looking around to fix this but just can't find any option/information about it.
Any help appreciated,
Thank-you.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
One of the windows 10 updates got rid of the other plans and now you only have one.
But you can create a power plan if you want.
To do that go to search and type Control Panel and open it.
Then go to Hardware and Sound - Power Options.
On the left hand side there is an option to Create a Power Plan.

Ahh okay that explains it, thank-you! The option to create the power plan is exactly what I needed too, thanks.
