Hi @Shirocat 

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your HP device, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm here to help you today.

Here are some steps to help you manage your power plans effectively:

1. Access Power Options

• Open Control Panel:
  • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type control, and hit Enter.
• Go to Power Options:
  • In the Control Panel, navigate to Hardware and Sound > Power Options.

2. Create a New Power Plan

• Create a Plan:
  • Click on Create a power plan on the left side.
  • Choose an existing plan as a base (e.g., Balanced) and click Next.
  • Customize your plan settings (like sleep time, display turn off, etc.) and give it a name.
• Save:
  • Click Create to save your new power plan.

3. Modify Existing Plans

• To modify an existing plan (like Balanced):
  • Click on Change plan settings next to the plan you want to modify.
  • Adjust the settings and click Save changes.

4. Using Command Prompt

If you want to add specific power plans through command line, you can use Command Prompt:

• Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
  • Type cmd in the search bar, right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
• Use Powercfg Command:
  • You can list available power schemes by typing powercfg /list.
  • To add or switch power plans, you may need specific GUIDs from the list above.

5. Check for Third-Party Tools

If you want to continue using the tool from BitSum or similar third-party software:

• Make sure you have the latest version and that it is compatible with your version of Windows.
• Follow the instructions provided by the software carefully, as power management settings can be sensitive.

6. Restart Your Laptop

Sometimes changes take effect after a restart. Make sure to restart your laptop after making adjustments.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi @Shirocat 

Welcome to the HP support community.

It sounds like you're trying to modify or access additional power plans on your Windows device, such as the "Ultimate Performance" power plan. By default, Windows provides the Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance plans, but some specialized plans like "Ultimate Performance" are hidden and not available on all systems by default.

Here's how you can make sure you can access and switch to all the base power plans, including "Ultimate Performance" if your system supports it:

Step 1: Check if "Ultimate Performance" is available

"Ultimate Performance" is typically available only on Windows 10 Pro for Workstations and some high-performance hardware configurations.

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
   • Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).
2. Enable the Ultimate Performance Plan:
   • In the Command Prompt, type the following command 
   • (powercfg -add -ultimate ) and press Enter:This command should enable the Ultimate Performance power plan if it's available on your system.

Step 2: Check Available Power Plans

After running the above command, check the available power plans again:

1. Open the Power Options:
   • Press Windows key + X and choose Power Options (or go to Control Panel > Power Options).
2. You should now see Ultimate Performance listed as an option alongside Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance (if your system supports it).

Step 3: Using the Power Plan

Once you've enabled the desired power plans, you can switch between them as follows:

1. Go to Power Options (like in Step 2).
2. Select the power plan you'd like to use, such as High Performance or Ultimate Performance.
3. Your system will now operate according to the selected plan’s settings.

If "Ultimate Performance" is not showing up:

If you're not seeing the "Ultimate Performance" plan after running the command, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

• Your system hardware may not support it.
• You might be using a non-Workstation edition of Windows (like Windows Home or Pro).
• You may need to update your Windows version or drivers.

Other Tips:

• Create a Custom Power Plan: If you can't find the plan you want, you can always create your own power plan with specific settings (e.g., maximum performance, battery-saving preferences). Just go to Power Options and select Create a power plan.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
