Unable to change power settings (Windows 10)

Posted ByTeam Lead

I'm getting an error:

*Some settings are hidden or managed by your organization.


The steps I took were:

  1. Open Group Policy Editor (Win+R, then type "gpedit.msc")
  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-Administrative Templates-System-Power Management
  3. Double click the Specify a custom active power plan policy setting
  4. Set to Disabled
  5. Click Apply then OK


I was then able to change my power settings. Not sure how this got out of whack but this solved it for me.

Other things tried: 

Running "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes" in cmd as admin
