However, if Create a power plan on the left is clicked, there are options to recreate power plans that were deleted by Windows Update. You can change the plan settings, but there are no other power plans. Here is what Power Options in the Control Panel looks like for some people. You may find that there is just the Balanced plan remaining and no option to select any others. If you look in the Control panel Power Options your old power plans may have disappeared with a Windows update and it can delete them. In the past we had several different plans to choose from, such as Balanced, Power saver, High performance, and perhaps a manufacturer specific one. Windows power plans have always been in the Control Panel in the Power Options section, but this was changed in a Windows update. Among them have been changes to power plans and potentially longer battery life from your laptop. Major Windows 10 updates arrive twice a year and there are many changes.
