How do I set High Performance power options as default ?
I would like to set High Performance as my default power plan but every time I turn on my PC it's back to Balanced Power Plan.
Any solution ?

Hello @mikelferdinan,
Very strange. Have you tried these? . . .

> How to Change Power Mode Level in Windows 10
> How to Specify a Default Active Power Plan in Windows 10
Also, have a look at the Related Tutorials at the BOTTOM of the above Tutorials [ there are a few ], as they may also be related.
I hope this helps.
Are you sure that Windows 10 is the one that's resetting your power plan? Some third-party apps have been known to do that too, most notably ASUS AiSuite (though that bad idea was supposed to have been fixed by now). At least you can find out whether this is the case by checking the Event Viewer. It will show you when somebody resets the power plan.
In the Event Viewer, shortly after all the events showing that your computer booted up, there should be an event of the form
{whatever did it} reset policy scheme from {previous plan} to {current plan}.
You can just search for "reset" or "policy scheme" in Event Viewer to find all the reset events.

Again, I recommend searching for "reset" and "policy scheme" events in Event Viewer.
But until you find the cause of the problem, you can patch it temporarily by using the Task Scheduler to schedule a batch file to be run when your computer boots up or wakes from sleep. The batch file should consist of one line:
POWERCFG /SETACTIVE {guid}
where {guid} is the GUID of the power plan you want to use. Then whenever some perpetrator resets the power plan, this one-line batch file will reset it right back to what you want.
To find the GUID of your preferred power plan for the above command, launch an elevated command prompt and enter the command
POWERCFG /LIST
That will show a list of power plans and their associated GUIDs (which look like long hexadecimal strings)
Hi Eksy61,
At the moment I run this at startup to restores defaults power schemes then switch to High Performance.
But I'm going to check your suggestion when I get close to the machine.Code:powercfg -restoredefaultschemes Powercfg /setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
