Do you get a “There are currently no power options available” message when you click the power icon on your Windows 10 PC? Chances are you’ve been revoked access to use the power options on your computer.

There are other reasons, too, as to why this problem occurs. For example, it's possible your current power plan has issues with its configuration. Or, a corrupt Windows system file is causing the power options to go missing.

Luckily, you can fix this issue using multiple methods on your computer.
