I recently upgraded to Windows 11 from a clean re-format. Back in Windows 10, I used the Power Options settings regularly to fit my needs throughout the day. I have an AMD CPU so it runs pretty hot normally when at full speed, which is why I preferred to use power plans. There were 3 Plans I used:


  1. AMD High Performance. When this plan was selected, my cpu's would run at full speed (and boosted?) at around 4.3-4Ghz. I used this if I was playing FPS's, or generally any game In which I could not reach my FPS cap.
  2. AMD Balanced. This kept my CPU speed at 4.0Ghz, I didnt really use this plan much, as generally I would choose between high performace/power saver
Power Saver. This was my most used plan. It lowered my CPU speed to around 2.5Ghz, and kept my temps around 30c which was really nice on warmer days. I play a ton of non CPU-intensive games, so there's no reason for me to use any other profile when I already reach the 144FPS cap I have set on these games.

I've installed windows 11 and installed all my drivers, and I'm seeing that these power plans don't change the CPU speed anymore. No matter what, my CPU is staying at 4.0Ghz on each power profile.

I have tried manually changing the advanced options from "Minimum/Maximum Processor state" but it doesnt change.

What can I do to get my power profiles to work like they did before?
