Quick Answer: Why Does Windows 10 Have One Power Plan?

By default, Windows 10 includes power plans like High Performance, Balanced, Power Saver, etc. These plans are designed to quickly let you switch a group of hardware and system power settings (like display, sleep, etc). Sometimes only the balanced power plan is available in Windows 10 power options.

Why do I only have one power plan?

Many users have reported variations of missing power plans, such as only balance power plan is available and the high performance power plan is missing. This could be due to a system corruption or a Windows Update recently installed which may have modified the registry or tweaked the power options.

Should I change my power plan Windows 10?

Windows 10 buries power plans in the Control Panel, as you shouldn’t need to change them. In fact, modern PCs that use “InstantGo“–a technology that lets PCs sleep like a smartphone or tablet, downloading data in the background and waking instantly–only have the “Balanced” plan by default.
