Hi

Advanced power options went missing after the last update. No processor options, usb, gpu power, etc. The usual fix of CSEnabled in regedit is no longer there. The fan speed is out of control even with the slider bar set to better battery. Any help would be appreciated.  thanks

    Hi All,

    I too was fed up with this issue getting nowhere online.

    I created a short script that will change req items to allow for advanced options to be displayed.

    $sting77 = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings"<br><br>$querylist =  reg query $sting77<br><br>foreach ($regfolder in $querylist){<br><br>    <br><br>    $active = $regfolder -replace "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" , "HKLM:"<br><br>    <br><br>    Get-ItemProperty -Path $active<br><br>    Set-ItemProperty -Path "$active" -Name "Attributes" -Value '2'<br><br>    <br><br>    }

    Run this in an Elevated Powershell ISE and it should fix it straight away as mine are now showing:

    Thanks

    100% agree. Microsoft should admit it's mistake and restore the power options we rely on to optimise control of our machines whether that's for music (in my case), gaming or video. A frankly ridiculous decision that's caused a lot of people grief. FIX IT!

    Here the only working method for Windows 10 without CsEnabled to restore all the power plans and power settings: DOWNLOAD

    There no need to use a command prompt or registry editor and all you need to do is just click on the batch file then it fixed.

    POWER SCHEMES FOLDER:

    Power Saver & High Performance ~ To import the original windows power plans.

    Ultimate Performance ~ This power plan is only to be used for higher-end PCs.

    Restore Profile ~ To clear and reset the original windows power profile.

    POWER SETTINGS FOLDER:

    Default Enable ~ To automatically restore all windows standard power settings.

    Advanced Enable ~ To automatically restore all windows expert power settings.

    Settings Disable ~ To automatically remove all the windows power settings.

    Troubleshooter ~ To fix problems with power settings and conserve battery life.

    DEFAULT & ADVANCED OPTIONS:

    To manually enable or disable your own power settings by clicking on the reg files.

    DIAGNOSE TOOLS:

    A collection of diagnostic windows system power tools for fault-finding the issues.

    Hi Nikhar

    I'm with Stephan on this. you guys need to either restore all advanced power options and/or allow csenabled to be toggled. Microsoft has rendered switchable graphics useless on laptops as well as other items being set incorrectly ( like wake timers). Replying with boiler plate how to response doesn't cut it. BTW, when i tested this release via windows insider program csenabled was not effected. so Microsoft made a change after the fact.  Please advise.

    Dear Nikhar,

    I'm writing to you, since you are a Microsoft agent. Thank you for your instructions, which I followed, but to no avail. I'm using Windows 10 Home 20H2. After the update to this version, some of the most important Advanced Power Settings have disappeared (such as those relating to the CPU). Also CSEnabled has disappeared from the registry, with which in the past one was always able to recover them. At present, there is no way to get the complete Advanced Power Settings back by working the registry.

    From my user experience, confirmed by some third party diagnostic software, I can tell that Windows now throttles my CPU at 60% when I'm on battery, which makes my device almost useless, as the tablet's CPU is weak even at a 100%. The power mode options to which one gets when clicking on the battery icon on the taskbar are on "Best performance," but they don't don't serve to remedy the problem.

    My main reason for writing is kindly to ask you to communicate to those responsible for writing Windows Updates that, at least to this customer's mind, it was a very bad idea to get rid of CSEnabled in the registry, and it would be splendid to reintroduce it with the next Windows Update. I object to being forced by Windows Updates to have to use my tablet plugged in or to have to buy a new one.

    After some research, I'm pretty sure that reintroducing CSEnabled into the registry with the next update is the only way to get my computer running on battery again. Of course, if you have a different fix on how to run my tablet at a 100% CPU on battery, I'm happy to hear.

    Thank you,

    Stephan
