My Windows 11 Pro computer only shows the Balanced power plan. I know the Power Saver and High Performance plans exist because I can select them in Throttlestop and then edit them, using a feature in that program that lets you switch power plans at the same time you switch Throttlestop profiles.

However, they don't show up in Control Panel except when I select them in Throttlestop, one at a time. How can I get all three plans to show up in Control panel?

I'm using S3 sleep, though originally the computer came with S0. Also, I know I can create new plans based on these "hidden" power plans, but that's not what I'm asking about. And no, they are not listed under "Hide additional plans.

Hi.

Perhaps Throttlestop has disabled them and taken over??

Option 5 will reset all.

Option 5 will reset all.

It looks like, from this post and a couple of similar ones I found after my above post, that I can either 1) wipe everything with Option 5, thereby deleting my custom plans, or 2) create duplicates of the default plans (options 1 - 4), but not 3) just redisplay the existing plans.

Thanks.

So do you think that Throttlestop has taken over the power options in CP? Wondering if you removed it, they would return?

I don't think so. Throttlestop is a portable program.

My recollection is that they disappeared from Control Panel when I reset power options a while ago to try to fix a Modern Standby issue. It's not a major deal for me. I can still get one default power plan at a time to show up in Control Panel using Throttlestop, and I can then edit it to taste. The edits stick, so I know the plans are not corrupted, just hidden from Control Panel unless active.
