No 'High Performance mode' in power options in windows 10.

Question

When I open power options in my Dell laptop, there is just one power plan that is Balanced mode.

There is no alternative modes like High performance, etc

I have tried all those cmd commands to add them but they don't work.

Below I have attached the pic of power plans in my laptop. It's a Dell G15 5515 Ryzen 5 5600H RTX 3050 Windows 10.

I did the in place upgrade as you said but still the power option shows just one profile "Balanced".

Answer 5

Hello NavinChandra,

Thank you for updating me with that information. I apologize that the above methods did not resolve the issue.

If the issue still persists, Please try performing an In-place Upgrade. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while your personal files, settings and installed applications will not be removed.

Download the media creation tool(Click Download tool now) and save it to your computer.

Open the tool and select Upgrade this PC now.

Make sure to select Keep personal files and apps.

It might take some time to install Windows 10. Your computer will restart a few times, Make sure you don’t turn off your PC

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Kind regards,
