Only balanced power plan, how can I get the others?

james_uk · Jul 25, 2023

Hi, I have recently done a new installation of Windows 11.

I seem to only have balanced as a power plan option.
I have tried tutorials I found that show you how to add them via command prompt.
Oddly, this added balanced again as a second option, but it didn't add the other options.

Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Regards
James

Ha that is the tutorial i actually followed, for some reason after restarting my laptop, they still aren't there.

Strange it doesn't work. As a workaround create your own power plans maybe.

In Control Panel, delete any custom power plans. You should only have this one.

Now you can go to right-click on the battery icon in the system tray, select 'Power and sleep settings' and there should be three choices under 'Power mode'.

Until they force the use of the cut down version in Settings I will still use the legacy options. Much better IMHO.
