I run that script in an MDT task sequence so that every imaged computer will get the default power settings. I use a script that writes the same registry keys as the GPO, but it is not enforced.

If I set the 'Apply once' box under Common, the same thing happens.Īll we want to do is have a High Performance plan setup and pushed to every laptop as the default, but then we want to let people change it to Balanced if they want to while maintaining the ability to change it back to High Performance if they so desire.

If I Uncheck the 'Set as active plan' box, then if they change from HP to Balanced, the HP plan disappears and they can't change it back if they want to.If I change it from Create to Update, it does the same thing. If they select Balanced instead, the next time GP refreshes, it changes it back to High Performance. When a user goes to check their power plans, they see Balanced and High Performance. So, we are trying to find a way to make the setting optional.Ĭurrently, we set the plan like the screen shot. However, we have some users that would rather have longer battery life than better performance.

We have a 'High Performance' power plan created via Group Policy which works fine.
