Hi @RAGHU_KBL,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

If you’re currently searching for a fix that will resolve the ‘There are currently no power options available’ error, this article will provide you with several troubleshooting steps.  Down below, you’ll find a collection of methods that other users in a similar situation deployed to resolve the issue.

Keep in mind that not all methods will be applicable to your scenario, so it’s best to follow the potential fixes in the order that they are presented. One is bound to resolve the issue in your particular scenario.

Method 1: Running the Windows Power troubleshooter

Before trying any of the other potential repair strategies, let’s start by making sure that your operating system is not capable of resolving the issue automatically. Some affected users have reported that the issue was fixed after they ran the Power troubleshooter.

This repair method is mostly confirmed to be effective on Windows 10, but you can also use it on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Here’s how to run the Windows Power troubleshooter:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “ms-settings:troubleshoot” and press Enter to open the Troubleshoot tab of the Settings app.

Opening the Troubleshooting tab of the Settings app via a Run box

Note: If you’re using an OS version older than Windows 10, use type this command instead (in the Run box): “control.exe /name Microsoft.Troubleshooting“

1. Inside the Troubleshooting tab, scroll down to Find and fix other problems and click on Power. Then, click on Run the troubleshooter to launch the Power troubleshooter.

Launching the Power troubleshooter

1. Wait to until the initial scan is complete. If any issue is identified, click on Apply this fix and follow the on-screen prompts to apply the repair strategy.
    
2. Once the fix is successfully applied, restart your computer and see if the issue has been resolved.

Method 2: Using Command Prompt to restore the Power Options

Some users have managed to resolve the issue by running a command inside an elevated Command Prompt window. There are two main commands that affected users have successfully used to resolve the ‘There are currently no power options available’. 

We advise you to deploy both in the order recommended by us and see if one manages to resolve the issue for you.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “cmd” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up an elevated Command prompt. When prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), click Yes to add administrative privileges.

Running CMD as an admin

1. Inside the elevated Command Prompt, run the following command to restore the default Power schemes and press Enter:

powercfg –restoredefaultschemes

1. Restart your computer and see if the issue has been resolved at the next startup. If you’re still encountering the same issue at the next boot, follow step 1 again and continue with step 4 below.
2. Inside the elevated Command Prompt, type/paste the following command and press Enter:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose

1. Once the command has been successfully processed, restart your computer to enforce the changes.
