I cannot restore the power plans in Windows 11

I discovered I'm missing the powersave and high performance power plans in Windows 11.

so I ran the following command to restore them:

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes​

in the Administrator console above and restarted my computer. That did not work.

I then tried running the following commands:

Power Saver Restoration

powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a

High Performance Restoration

powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

in the Administrator console above and restarted my computer. That also did not work.

I am using an administrator user ID with the console. I also tried the SFC and DISM commands to check for image damage and none was found.

I have no idea why they are not coming back.

    Thanks for the feedback. Let's check the integrity of your system files. Windows has two tools commonly used for this purpose: SFC and DISM.

    The System File Checker (SFC) tool built into Windows will scan your Windows system files for corruption or any other changes. If a file has been modified, it will automatically replace that file with the correct version. If the SFC command doesn’t work, you can also try the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command to repair the underlying Windows system image.

    [ Using System File Checker in Windows ]

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that checks for problems with files on your computer. To run it, follow these steps:

    Make sure you've installed the latest updates for Windows, and then restart your machine. To find out more, read Update Windows.

    In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.

    Type

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)

    After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type

    sfc /scannow

    (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.

    After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.

    Hi, Anderson.

    I can create new power plans based on the Balanced plan only.

    This has to do with Modern standby or your UEFI settings. Please check out the following thread for more information:
