Windows 7: Power Plan keeps reverting to “High Performance”

powerpower-managementwindows 7

Everytime I restart my laptop, the power plan keeps reverting from my custom one to "High Performance". I don't have any battery life managers installed on my computer. I have MSI System Control Manager but that shouldn't be causing problems.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Computer: MSI GP-60 2PE Leopard

Sooner or later people wander into the "grey" area of windows static settings.

We humans know a light switch is either on or off by seeing a light connected to the switch being on or off.

Microsoft stores this in the registry and sometimes has problems storing in the registry.

Try changing the settings using the Advanced Power Options dialog box: http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/windows-advanced-power-options-explained

Set-it ... reboot, check that its still set to High performance, then re-set it back to the performance level you want (still using the advanced dialog) and then reboot again.
