You open the Power Options item in Control Panel on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer. However, the power scheme options that appear on the Power Schemes tab are unavailable.
Cause
This issue may occur if some or all the registry entries that are related to the power scheme options have been deleted.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, restore the registry entries that are related to the power scheme options. To do this, use one of the following methods.
Use the Powercfg.exe utility to restore the default power scheme
You can use the Powercfg.exe utility to copy the power scheme from the Default Userprofile to the user who is currently logged on. You can do this because power schemes are uniquely associated with individual user accounts. To copy the power scheme from the default user by using the Powercfg.exe utility, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
powercfg /RestoreDefaultPolicies
