Model: Legion Pro 5 16IRX9
Describe the issue: High performance and Power saver power plans have disappeared. I had it on Balanced before and games ran very well but now on the same setting (with the other 2 gone) games now run extremely slow and choppy, where the day before they ran fine. Fans also not turning on where previously they where going pretty strong, when the performance was good.
What have you tried already?: Rolling back Windows updates, updating everything again, in Windows and Vantage, updating GPU.
When did it start producing the issue: 28/04
Did you install new drivers or software?: Yes
Can you provide images/videos to show us the issue: If required

Not sure why plans disappeared. But you should be using power modes instead anyway on win11
You can access them via win+x then pression O as a shortcut
Best performance is equivalent to high performance power plan and best power efficiency to power saver

thankyou for that! the scans didn't find anything unusual and the problem persists. Is there anything else I can do or is a factory reset the only way?

I would leave it as a last resort. Let's try resetting power schemes
Type in command promt
Powercfg /RestoreDefaultSchemes
And reboot

can you think of any reason it was fine gaming on Balanced before but now struggles?
thorn lantern
Not really. Balanced can cause stutters in some cpu demanding games since it's trying to balance cpu power
btw, for the hell of it, try ec reset

thorn lantern
Oh wait, you already did

Check in winver what windows version are you running

somber grail
it's actually not as bad as it was, so the troubleshooting has done something but not how it was performing Sunday
thorn lantern
Not sure if oblibion ever performed good. Does this happen in other games? Are you in performance mode (power button glows red)?
somber grail
haha no I don't think it did, it is just a marked difference to before I noted the power modes being gone
thorn lantern
btw is display set to 60hz or more?
Check both displays if there are two of them
somber grail
yes, 240hz. just the one
thorn lantern
yes, 240hz. just the one
Download 3dmark demo (it's free) from steam and download timespy benchmark inside of it
Run it and post the results here
3dmark has a good database of results to compare against
somber grail
my speed is very slow tonight so I might try the 2023 power plan again while I wait
somber grail
I have the power plans back and it is running on performance!! you are a wizard 🙂
