    First time, i use the HP , the power plan is automatically set to HP recomended. then i try to user power saver and high performance features. After this HP recommended option is replaced by balance option. So there is balance, power saver and high performance instead of original options : HP recommended, power saver and high performance option. I have try to change via advanced setting but failed

    ==> Why it happens and may i have the hp recommended appears again in power option ?

    Easy fix:

    Click on the Start button
    Type "Power options" in the instant search field
    Click the drop-down link for "Show additional plans"
    The "HP recommended" link will appear.

    I suggest you leave it on the "HP recommended" power option for the best balance of power efficiency and performance.
