fortinder74Gave this a try too, but no luck unfortunately. I'm a couple months out of warranty and trying to decide what to do with this, it's all quite disappointing.I may have found a solution to the problem.
Warning! This solution worked for me and I do not guarantee it will work for you.
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. Use this tool at your own risk.
I am not responsible if anything happens to your PC.
Before you start, open the advanced power plans settings, check if you have Wireless and USB options.
if they are missing, as you can see below, you need to edit the registry.
1. create a new power plan
2. open registry editor
3. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings
4. You will see plenty of weirdly named folders.
each folder(key), represent an option on the power plan settings, read the description.
if you want to show this option, you need to set "Attributes" value to 2.
if you dont have "Attributes" key, add a new DWORD (32bit) Value and named it "Attributes".
Those are the keys i edited(maybe only one of the is needed, idk):
2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3
\d4e98f31-5ffe-4ce1-be31-1b38b384c009
(this key is under the first one, expend his subfoders)
19cbb8fa-5279-450e-9fac-8a3d5fedd0c1
\12bbebe6-58d6-4636-95bb-3217ef867c1a
F15576E8-98B7-4186-B944-EAFA664402D9
5. Open advanced power plans settings, Now you're supposed to see more options.
6. Change wireless adapter settings>power saving to best performance.
7. Change USB>USB3 to minimum saving.
8. Change wireless standby on battery to available.
