Solved Enabling Advanced Power Options

Hello, I've done this in the past on W10 using both the command prompt and registry editor, but I'm having no luck enabling the "hidden" advanced power options, such as usb power management. For one the CSenabled setting doesn't exist. Nor does the "Attributes" binary under the power subcategory. I've definitely accessed CSenabled in the past on this same device on W10, so I'm guessing an update nixed the option? What would be the best way to access the USB advanced power plan settings on the current build of W11?

Hello,

CSenabled used to be for Connected Standby instead of Power Options.


Which specific USB settings in power options were you looking for?

I'll read up on this when I get home. My issue is that those advanced power options are "missing" from the advanced power options in both custom and default power plans. None of the lines for the command prompt reveal the options. When I did this before I could use the registry, either by changing the CSenabled value or using the following method. The issue is that I can't find "CSenabled" in the registry where it used to be. On top of that, the "Attributes" binary is also missing from its usual place in the registry power options.

If you like, post a screenshot showing your currently available power options, and list which ones you want to restore. We'll see what we can do to help.

Sorry about the late, response. So running an elevated command prompt and using the script provided to enable the usb selective suspend worked for that, but unfortunately did not solve my overarching issue of of the my Yoga C930's FP reader re-enabling the power-savings features in device manager (turn of this device to save power). Thanks for the feedback though.

Yeah, OEM software can often cause issues like this with taking over. I usually strip all OEM software (bloatware), and only use the built-in Windows settings to avoid this.
