Ultimate performance plan isn't working

I got a new pc. Control panel only shows balanced as an option. When running command prompt as admin using powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 it doesn't change anything. I've tried restarting, PowerShell, admin app or not, nothings seems to work. Any advice?

You have a laptip. Power plans no longer exists. You can adjust performance mode, via the slider found under the power/battery icon on the system tray (next to the clock) for Windows 10, in the case of laptops

If it runs Windows 11 (laptop or desktop), the option is found under Settings panel > System > Power

 

Why power plans don't exist: cause it makes no sense for "modern" systems, as they are really good and really fast at switching power states and have various power levels it can operate. In addition a hot CPU or GPU would prevent them from turbo'ing as long or even at all, reducing system performance.

 

Balance maximizes performance. Same applies to desktop unless they have excellent cooling (But it is still silly, as your keeping your CPU under max clock for browsing folders or the web, consuming a lot of power for nothing)

I have other laptops running Windows 11 that have access to power plans an ultimate performance though
