Hi,

I no longer have the Minimal Power settings option available. I only have 4:
Home/Office, Portable/Laptop, Always On, Presentation. Any idea how to
restore my full compliment of Power Settings?

FWIW, you may also be missing Max Battery.

See if this helps.

Also, check the registry key,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

There should be 6 subkeys numbered 0 through 5 under that key. I've seen where
user created schemes have created problems with the default schemes. If you see
any subkeys numbered higher than 5 you might want to back them up and delete
them.

Good luck
