I sometimes encounter a Windows 10 system on which many of the Advanced Settings in Power Management Options are missing.
These settings include things like minimum and maximum Processor state, etc.
I found the following procedure to fix the problem in most cases:
- Open Regedit as Administrator
- Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
- Change the value of
CsEnabled
from0
to1
- Reboot
In some cases, this does not solve the issue. In that case, you might try this:
- Open Regedit as Administrator
- Navigate to
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings
- Here you will find a lot of subfolders that are seemingly named with a GUID.
- Expoand the sub-folders and inspect the content. Locate
Description
andFriendly Name
which describe what setting they control. - For each setting you want visible, change the REG_DWORD value of
Attributes
to2
. CreateAttributes
if it does not exist. - Reboot
Now the selected power options should be visible under Advanced Settings.
