Hi

I have a W8 64 PC, when I got to Power Options there is no "High Performance" just Balanced and Power Saver,
when I go to "Change Advanced Power Settings" the drop down box has "High Performance" but I cannot get it set to be the power setting I use.

How do I get High Performance as my Power setting?

thanks

Daniel

Hi

I am so embarrassed, I cannot believe that I did not see the "Show additional plans" link.

Thanks for you excellent help (again)

Cheers

Daniel
