Missing processor power management settings option in advanced power options settings
Recently receiving an Acer laptop, I saw it was running a bit hot and wanted to adjust the Processor power management options. However, I found them gone when going into Advanced power options I found the CPU options which allow adjusting such things as Minimum processor state, Maximum processor state, and Cooling policy.
Other options were missing too – PCI Express, USB settings, Intel graphics settings, and Multimedia settings, were all gone from the options.
Thankfully there is a very easy solution. It requires opening and making a minor change. Even if you’ve never messed with regedit before, you should have no problem here.
- While in Windows press the Windows key + R. Alternatively you can click the Start button.
- Type “regedit”. This will open the registry editor.
- Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power - Double click CsEnabled and change the Value data from 1 to 0, and then click or tap OK.
- Restart the laptop.
- Check your Advanced power settings and you should see the full array of options restored.

Hi. Thanks, but there is no Cs… under Control\Power in my Windows version. Any other things I could try? I am trying to optimize this PC (top of the line Dell laptop)for music production… Thanks again!

Thanks again!The CsEnabled is not actually under the Power folder… it should appear in the list in the window on the right… double-click it to open. 😲🎅🏿
