power plan missing
When I got to advanced settings for power options I only have 4 options. Display,sleep,battery and slide show. There isn’t any other features or options. Do you know a fix?

Select Additional power settings on the right and dig down more. Very aggravating number of levels in power settings. To get to power plans quicker, go to Control Panel, Hardware and sound--which makes no sense but works.

Install the power manager or reinstall the system to solve it.

Hi satyam:
What is the model of your computer, what is the name of your current power plan, and are those advanced settings available if you choose another power plan? Does you computer model use Modern Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) (also called Connected Standby or "InstantGo") instead of the traditional S3 standby? If you aren't sure open an elevated command prompt (with Administrator rights) and enter the command powercfg /a. From my Inspiron 5584, which only supports the old S3 standby mode and does not support Modern Standby (S0 Low Power Idle):
If your computer supports Modern Standby, see karel's April 2020 StackExchange thread Windows 10 Power Options Missing on New Laptop about a similar issue on their Dell Latitude laptop. The chosen solution for that thread notes that some advanced settings in your power plan can be automatically disabled if your computer is configured to use Modern Standby as the sleep mode, and provides instructions on how to disable Modern Standby in the Windows registry. The NotebookCheck article Useful Life Hack: How to Disable Modern Standby (Connected Standby) notes that some computer models like the Dell XPS 15 can have issues with excessive heating and poor battery life with Modern Standby enabled and suggests the same registry hack if Modern Standby needs to be disabled. However, that NotebookCheck article also warns that disabling Modern Standby can cause unexpected side effects on some computer models (e.g., you might have to re-enable Modern Standby if the sleep mode does not automatically default back to the traditional S3 standby mode) so I would advise caution if you want to try this registry hack just to see what effect it has on your power plan advanced settings.
The LaptopMag article Email While You Sleep: How to Use Windows 10's Modern Standby notes that some laptop models that support Modern Standby can switch between Connected Standby and Disconnected Standby in the Windows 10 settings at Settings | System | Power & Sleep | WiFi, so if your computer supports Modern Standby you might want to start there and see what effect, if any, those Windows settings have on your power plan advanced settings before you edit your registry.
For further information about Modern Standby see Dell employee DELL-Chris M's FAQ Modern Standby.
