How to restore missing Default Power Plans in Windows 11/10

-

 A Power Plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses power. Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, or achieve a balance between the two. In this post, we will show you how to restore the Power Saver, Balanced, High Performance or Ultimate Performance default power plan if missing in Windows 11/10


Windows 11/10 includes the following default power plans:

  • Power saver – Saves power by reducing PC performance and screen brightness. If you’re using a laptop, this plan can help you get the most from a single battery charge.
  • Balanced – Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don’t. This is the best power plan for most people.
  • High performance – Maximizes screen brightness and might increase PC performance. This plan uses more power, so your laptop battery won’t last as long.
  • Ultimate Performance – Only available by default in the Windows Pro for Workstations edition. It provides ultimate performance on higher-end PCs.

Please note that changes made to a power plan will affect all users that have chosen the same power plan as their default active power scheme. All users (standard and administrator) will be able to make changes to any power plan settings.

You can use the command line method presented below to restore Windows default power plans if one or more of them are missing from your computer:

Press Windows key + R. In the Run dialog box type cmd hit Enter to invoke the command prompt.

Now copy and paste the command below corresponding to the missing power plan you want to restore into the command prompt and hit Enter.

To bring back all the default missing power plans in Windows-

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

Power saver–

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

Ultimate Performance–

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

You can now exit the command prompt and restart your PC.

https://pete.akeo.ie/2011/06/extracting-and-using-modified-vmware.html Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware (updated 2016.05.17 for VMWare UEFI firmware extraction) One day or another, you may want to play with BIOS/UEFI firmware modification. But before jumping into physical motherboard flash alteration, where the consequences of a mishap can be difficult to salvage, experimenting with the BIOS/UEFI in a virtual environment sounds like a sound first step. You have of course the opportunity to do so using  bochs , however the ubiquitous nature and ease of use of the (freely available)  VMware Player  can turn the latter in a much better candidate for the job if you don't really care about the extra features that bochs brings in. This post details how one can extract the BIOS/UEFI firmwares used by the VMWare Player, and how to setup the player to use a modified one. Download and install VMware Player. The current version of VMwar...

https://github.com/the-P1neapple/WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass Overview This guide explains a method to bypass the Microsoft Account (MSA) requirement during the Windows 11 Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) by using the Developer Console to invoke a hidden local account setup screen. This method was discovered by examining the Windows 11 OOBE source code, which revealed an event listener for a hidden  _localAccountButton . Note A faster method has since been discovered using Command Prompt ( Source ), this repo was made 7 months prior to that discovery. The method I have documented is still the only known method for S-Mode installations. Following these steps, you can create a local account without needing to sign in with or create a Microsoft account. I also have a  Youtube Tutorial  that follows the same instructions below Steps to Bypass Microsoft Account Setup 1. Start Windows 11 Setup Begin the Windows 11 Setup Process. Select your region a...
