New post summary designs on greatest hits now, everywhere else eventually. Related 2. Hot Network Questions. Thank you MowLiao! I completely agree with you; I'm a gamer too and it's why I purchased this new laptop I want my old crappy laptop with Vista back!!!!
This is so frustrating!!!! This is not the case!!!! I went to other forums about this and still no solution after 2 years of complaints I am tired of people saying WHY Microsoft made it the way it is I shouldn't have to bend over backwards to get something so simple to work!! I bought my laptop for gaming purposes. Many people say "oh well they made it for stupid people.. It's not my fault that some old people don't know how to use their computer and we shouldn't have to suffer the consequences.
Once again looking for the easy Windows 7 fix that must be one Google search away, once again disappointed!. I'd like to see more than 2 plans when clicking the battery meter in the taskbar. Since some are having trouble with this I'm posting the steps below. Configure and save at least one custom power plan more if you're so inclined. If your plans are already setup, go to steep 3. Select the "Balanced recommended " plan and close the Power Options Window. Once again, open the Power Options window see step 1 and select a custom plan to display in the 2-Item power options list, then close the window.
Repeat the last step for the other plan that you would like to see from the taskbar. You may have to go back and forth a few times but they will eventually stick see image above. I'm satisfied; that's fine, I'll live with that and return to smiling where once there were only frowns Please use this service to "fix" this problem. It will not correct the windows issues, but it will allow you to quickly change the power plans for no charge. Search the following in google to find the application it is the first link currently : source forge powplan.

In vista I was able to select from 3 power plan settings for my laptop: "Power Saver", "Balanced", and "High Performance.
A simple click on the battery meter and I had all of my options right there: 2 clicks and I'm good. In Windows 7, someone decided that they were going to put "High Performance" in "additional plan" group. They also decided that they maximum number of plans available in the battery meter is 2. This gets very annoying after a short period of time.
Is there any way to increase the number of plans shown in the battery meter? Or at least is there a way to set which plans I want to show in the battery meter? Thanks for your time, Kairos.

Like GoodThings2Life said, that doesn't help the average user. It should be as simple for the user as dragging-and-dropping a power plan from the "hide additional plans" to the "plans shown on the battery meter".
But more than that, I still can't understand why plans are always hidden. Yea, amazing. But who the heck has that many power plans? Monday, May 18, PM.
Like already mentioned by other users, as non-professional windows user, I don't understand this at all. Is there are solution to this problem or can it not be fixed? Sunday, August 16, PM. Yes it is the first disatvantage that I meet. And I still not able to find how to change it to 3 items.
I dont know why enginers of Microsoft remake this menu, but it was a bad idea Please, if you find how to fix it plase tell me. Friday, August 21, PM.
Really, UI designers, thank you for making it easier to use the power meter in Win7. Three options were so incredibly hard to use. Now that we have only two, usability has shot up through the ceiling.
Here's a very useful-looking UI feature, now if only I could actually get the power plans I want to use to stay there, now that would be just marvellous. But hey, some very smart guy thought 2 was enough. Here's a tip: scrap the broken auto-guessing of what to hide or show.
Automation that does the wrong thing is much more annoying than no automation. The current logic can hide the plan you were using just now - based on something I can't even see namely, which plan it was originally derived from. How does hiding a just-used plan make any UI sense whatsoever? Instead, when I click "Change power settings", give me a link that says "Show on battery meter" or "Hide from battery meter", depending on its current state.
When I activate a hidden plan, change it to "Show". If you must limit it to N entries, then hide the least recently used plan when N is reached, and for Pete's sake, if N is 2 then make it registry-tweakable.
Also, how about letting me delete an active power plan, or at the very least, instead of HIDING the option, explain why I cannot delete it. And since we're on it Or at least a note when creating a plan that the name is permanent?
