The slider is in the Battery icon...
Also, those can be selected in the Windows Mobility Center (right-click START or the Battery icon)...
It seems to work for me in 20H2.

Before posting I show that most who answer needed device and OS specs here are mine:
Device:
Surface Pro
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300U CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.71 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB
Device ID F6F0E913-F7DF-45F4-B8C5-867C2B022F52
Product ID 00330-62912-54639-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points
Windows:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
Installed on 8/28/2020
OS build 19042.608
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
Some background: I wanted to see if there was a difference with High & Ultimate Performance when using Adobe Creative Cloud specifically Illustrator, a few other designers/ illustrators have said they noticed a huge difference.
I went to admin cmd entered:
High Performance
powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
Ultimate Performace
powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
closed admin cmd, restarted my Surface, went to Control Panel, Power Options and High & Ultimate Performance don't show up.
I went to create Power Plan but only Balance is there.
I then performed another admin cmd: sfc /scannow (results below)
I found a video that said to go into Registry Editor but I don't know if I should or if there is a better/simpler way.
Thank you!!!!

Microsoft decided to remove (or hide) the Battery & performance power options & instead added a slider within action centre to change power options between the three.
Check here for a .zip file to install those missing plans:

2020-10-30T20:39:55+00:00 That's brave to be an insider. So, ...608 may have a glitch. Even if they never meant to touch Power Options, it's possible something else they did mussed it a bit. Check whether ...610 is somehow a cure.
(a) That TenForums article Time Lady posted said Ultimate Performance is "only available by default in the Windows 10 Pro for Workstations edition". So, looks like you shouldn't have that, not being a Workstation.
(b) I think your "create a power plan" screen should show the other 3 plans like mine, except maybe if yours is not a laptop. Then maybe it shouldn't have "Power Saver". But I think it is a laptop.
But I think you are fine as is, if that slider works & all else is good.

I was finally able to get the slider after a few restarts, but under Windows Mobility Center now I only have High Performance even though I "installed" all the missing power options... guess beggars can't be choosy...
