Windows 10 settings restarts repeatedly
Windows 10 settings restarts repeatedly
Earlier I thought my Windows 10 was running smoothly, but I wanted it to stay balanced. When browsing, I didn’t need maximum CPU usage, so I switched to balanced. Later, it returned to high performance again, so I changed back to balanced. Now I’m curious why that happened.
Usually a third-party tool resets the setup. Click right-click on the Start menu, choose Event Viewer. In the left panel pick Windows Logs > System, right-click the system log and select Find... Then look for "UserModePowerService" and click Find Next. The selected event should show an .exe file, which is likely the cause.
It chose a single product and below displays 'Process C:\Windows\explorer.exe'
It's unusual since Explorer is a system process, and I haven't noticed it resetting power schemes before. The most likely solution is to reset all power schemes to their defaults by right-clicking the Start menu, selecting Windows PowerShell (Admin), and running powercfg -restoredefaultschemes. This should resolve the issue.
