Restore Power Plans With PowerShell or Command Prompt Any missing plans can be restored in the next step, so keep your Command Prompt or PowerShell window open. Anything else should be looked at as a possible startup conflict. You should see Balanced, Power Saver, High Performance, and Ultimate Performance. You might spot your problem easily by opening the Command Prompt or Powershell as admin and type in powercfg -LIST to bee all available power plans. Samsung has Fast Start, and HP has a Power Manager as examples.
These custom power options are often found with Windows 7 and 8.
On factory-built computers including Samsung, HP, Compaq, Acer, and others, you'll need to check your startup and see if your computer is being managed by a proprietary startup or power app that overrides the one that comes with Windows.
