Hello,
I have Windows 10 Pro on a Surface Pro 3. I was working on my power options & I've noticed I only have one power option available - "Balanced". Also, if I go in to create a new power plan, I can only change the basic options, even though I click on "Change Advanced Power Settings Not Currently Available" It acts as if I'm going to be able to change advanced options, but hardly anything is even there to change.
Thanks!
Hi,
Go to Turn windows features On/Off(Programs &Features), select Hyper-v, once installed reboot.

Thanks!Suggest you use a bit of caution with Hyper-V on SP3. There are drawbacks. Please see this article for some of the details.Hi,

Again, caution using the Hyper-V solution as it will affect how your SP3 deals with sleep mode and waking up. The following article from MS discusses the Powercfg command. You could try to set individual options via the command line, but they will not show up in the Power Options UI. If you want to try, I suggest a good backup first and/or using the Export function of Powercfg to save your current settings. They can be restored with the Import function. Another possibility is if you have a desktop with all the power options available and set to what you want, you could Export them and Import them to your SP3.
Powercfg Command-Line Options
Whatever course you take, please backup first!
