I have a Surface 3 Pro Tablet running Windows 10, Version 1607. There is only one power plan, Balanced, that I can select. Is there a way to get additional plans? Such as Power Saver, Performance, etc?

Second question. The plan settings are very limited no CPU settings, no wifi settings, etc. Is there way to enable a full set of plan settings?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards, Jim

Edit: Never mind, I found a registry hack in my notes that solves the problem.
