Dell Venue 8 Pro - Power Options
Hi guys,
I just updated my Dell Venue 8 Pro and noticed that the only plan available to me is "Balanced". If I recall correctly, there should've been another option called "High Performance". Does anyone else have this issue and is there anyway to bring back that option?
I ran powercfg -restoredefaultscheme but nothing returned.
Thanks!

Hi, I2,
A high performance plan on a passively cooled, fanless tablet might not work for long. The device is already pushing the thermal envelope enough that it's been reported to shut down during some games.
On mine, "Balanced" and "Dell" are the available plans. I'm using Dell's slightly tweaked plan, along with ambient display brightness, which has started working suspiciously better than when I last tried it.
