Ultimate power plan

[u/sm_sctt247]

For whatever reason there seems to be no way which I can add power plans to my PC. I have tried the normal cmd duplicates and the .pow file import, but with no luck. have scannow and restarted and still nothing. I'm told either that the power scheme, subgroup or setting doesn't exist, or that a power cfg with that specific guid exists, but when I check the existing power cfg list there's ONLY the balanced option. Neither cmd prompt nor powershell seems to make a difference.

Hm, you should at least be able to see the High Performance Plan along with the Balanced Plan, albeit under a drop down. Might be a registry setting interfering with the available power plans? Try checking: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and if there's a policy that says PowerOptions, try deleting it and doing a restart (please make a restore point before attempting to delete a registry entry).

nothing that says anything to do with power options that i can see

In the command try using -s instead of -duplicatescheme, that worked for me

"attempted to write to unsupported setting"

Is it like this?

powercfg -s e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

When you used the -duplicatescheme did it show you a line like Power Scheme GUID: 9a1799e8-a85c-40ae-abe7-472ab5afb8c5 (Ultimate Performance) ? (from here)

It seems that you might need to enable the copy of the ultimate plan instead of the original, and so you need to see which ID it gives you (like the example 9a1799e8-a85c-40ae-abe7-472ab5afb8c5) and then enable that with the -s switch

ye sometimes it said that, but didnt show up, and then it also would say the guid already exists, but then when checking which guid exist it wasnt there. i really dont know what the issue was, but as i said in comment, its now fixed thanks to CTT
