The upgrade process for Windows 10 went smoothly, but I noticed one thing. There were no Shutdown, Restart, Sleep, Hibernate options in the Power Options menu. In short, the Power Options had gone missing! Clicking on the icon displayed There are currently no power options available message.
The WinX Menu offered only the Sign out option.
If Power Options are missing from the Start Menu after upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update, here are a few things you need to check up on to fix the problem.
Power Options missing in Windows 10
Type gpedit.msc in Start search and hit Enter to open the Group Policy Editor. Navigate to the following settings and double-click on it to open its configuration box:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar
Double-click on Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands.
This policy setting prevents users from performing the following commands from the Start menu or Windows Security screen: Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate. This policy setting does not prevent users from running Windows-based programs that perform these functions. If you enable this policy setting, the Power button, and the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands are removed from the Start menu. The Power button is also removed from the Windows Security screen, which appears when you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Power button, and the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands are available on the Start menu. The Power button on the Windows Security screen is also available.
Ensure that Not Configured or Disabled is selected, click Apply and exit.
UPDATE: George Ivanov suggests in the comments section below the following:
Open GPEDIT.msc, and navigate to the following setting:
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
Then in the Shutdown the system rule, grant your domain users with that permission.
There are currently no power options available
The Group Policy Editor is available in Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education editions only, and not in Windows 10 Home. If your Windows 10 does not ship with GPEDIT, Run regedit to open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following registry key:
Now on the right side, check if a value named NoClose exists, and if it does, its value should be 0.
Restart your computer and see. The Power Options should appear.
If this does not help, there is another thing you can try.
Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
Change the value of CsEnabled from 1 to 0.
Restart your computer and check.
Incidentally, you can also use our freeware Ultimate Windows Tweaker to make Windows 10 show Power Options.
You will get the tweak under Customization > Windows 10. Uncheck/Check the Power Options Menu, click Apply Tweaks and restart your computer and see.
To show the Hibernate option, you will have to ensure that Hibernate is enabled, by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt window:
Other things you could try:
- Restore default Power Plans.
Hope this helps!

The Windows 10 processor power management (PPM) algorithms implement OS-level functionality that allows the OS to efficiently use the available processing resources on a platform by balancing the user's expectations of performance and energy efficiency.
The algorithms have the following characteristics:
- They scale from big servers to tablet form factors.
- They are customizable through a statically configurable power policy infrastructure.
- They are hierarchical and abstracted in a manner that separates platform-agnostic portions of the algorithms from platform-specific portions.
At a high-level, the Windows PPM is made up of the following parts:
- Core parking engine - Makes global scalability decisions about the workload and determines the optimum set of compute cores to execute with.
- Performance state engine - Makes per-processor performance scaling decisions.
- Platform specific controls - Implements the mechanics of state transitions and optionally provides feedback about the effectiveness of OS state decisions and runtime platform constraints.
IHV partners can enable preliminary validation and measurement of the effects of the policy controls on different hardware configurations.
Power profiles
You can use the Windows Provisioning framework to configure the processor power settings described in this section. First, create a provisioning package using Windows Configuration Designer. You will then edit the customizations.xml file contained in the package to include your power settings, which appear under the
CommonPowerPolicySettingsProcessor
namespace. Use the XML file as one of the inputs to the Windows Configuration Designer command-line interface to generate either a provisioning package that contains the power settings. You can then apply the provisioning package to the image. For information on how to use the Windows Configuration Designer CLI, see Use the Windows Configuration Designer command-line interface.
I think that some files must be transferred to the device first in order to make remote tools work, which doesn't seem to happen automatically. Offline registry editor.
Network Adapter Power Management Windows 10
The processor namespace is divided into three sets of identical power processor configurations called power profiles. The power profiles are used by the power processor engine to adapt the performance and parking algorithm on various system use cases.
Medieval 2 total war crusade. Windows 10 supports the following profiles:
- Default profile is the configuration set that is active most of the time.
- LowLatency is the profile that is activated during boot and during app launch time.
- LowPower is the profile that is activated during the buffering phase of media playback scenarios.
- Constrained is a profile activated by the battery saver feature on Windows 10 for desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education). This is not available on Windows 10 Mobile.
Each profile supports the following configuration settings:
On systems with processors with heterogeneous architecture, the configuration settings for efficiency class 1 cores use a similar naming convention. Efficiency class is defined in ACPI 6.0 section 5.2.12.14 GICC Structure. For more information, consult the ACPI specification.
The common parameters have the suffix '1' to indicate efficiency class. Hetero-specific parameters have the prefix 'Hetero'.
