I recently switched to Windows 11 from a clean installation. In Windows 10, I frequently adjusted the Power Options to suit my daily routine. With an AMD CPU, it tends to heat up significantly at full speed, which is why I relied on power plans. I used three different plans:
AMD High Performance. This setting let my CPU run at maximum speed (and possibly boosted) around 4.3-4Ghz, ideal for gaming or any application where I needed high frame rates.
AMD Balanced. It maintained the CPU at 4.0Ghz, but I rarely used this plan since I often switched between high performance and power saving modes.
Power Saver. This was my most common choice. It reduced the CPU speed to about 2.5Ghz while keeping temperatures around 30°C, which was comfortable on hotter days. Since I mostly play non-intensive games, I didn’t need to adjust any other settings when hitting my 144FPS target.
After installing Windows 11 and updating all drivers, the power plans no longer affect CPU speed. Regardless of changes, my CPU consistently stays at 4.0Ghz across all profiles.

I attempted to manually modify the advanced options from "Minimum/Maximum Processor state," but it didn’t make a difference.

What can I do to restore the previous behavior?
