    Recently for no reason on every power plan even high performance the screen started to turn off quickly, and after resuming it's on minimal brightness...there is no problem turning it up but doing it every time is kinda anoying.

    I thought it's some problem with settings but in power4gear everything is set right - brightness 100%, turn off display after 20min. I tried reinstalling power for gear extreme but it doesnt change anything.

    Also in windows settings when I try to change or view anything from power menu I'm getting something like that

    "change settings for the plan: Power4Gear High Performance
    choose the sleep and display settings that you want your computer to use.
    Your power plan information isnt available."

    Any ideas how to get power4gear working how it should again?

    thanks,

    Try removing Power4Gear and the ATK drivers. Then reinstall both.

    If that doesn't cut it, just remove Power4Gear for good, and tune things from the Windows power plan settings.
