Unlock/Unhide all Power Plan Settings/Options on Windows 10/11

readme.md

Unlock-PowerCfg 1.1.0

Unlock every Power Plan Scheme/Setting on Windows 10/11. Just paste in an elevated PowerShell.

Use this instead of some incomplete PowerCfg commands or old .reg files as this script works even for newer/unknown settings: It will look up the PowerSettings registry hive and add or change a value (Attributes = 2) to reveal it.

Requirements:

• Windows 7 - 11
• PowerShell v2 - v7 with admin rights

$PowerCfg = (Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings' -Recurse).Name -notmatch '\bDefaultPowerSchemeValues|(\\[0-9]|\b255)$'
foreach ($item in $PowerCfg) { Set-ItemProperty -Path $item.Replace('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','HKLM:') -Name 'Attributes' -Value 2 -Force }

(gci 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings' -Recurse).Name -notmatch '\bDefaultPowerSchemeValues|(\\[0-9]|\b255)$' | % {sp $_.Replace('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','HKLM:') -Name 'Attributes' -Value 2 -Force}

Thanks a lot! Very useful!

Thanks! Great to hear that it still works and is helpful :)

This was super helpful, specially the one-liner. Thanks so much!

I had done this once with instructions on another site. I formatted the PC and couldn't find the site again. This saved me. Thanks a lot. Good work.

Thanks!! Unlocked all of my ASUS laptop energy options :) Thanks!!
