Next, click on an empty part of the desktop and selectNew > Text document and name itadd-system-cooling-policy.reg . You’ve basicallycreated a registry file on Windows here.
In the text document, enter the following code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\94d3a615-a899-4ac5-ae2b-e4d8f634367f]"Attributes"=dword:00000002

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\94d3a615-a899-4ac5-ae2b-e4d8f634367f]"Attributes"=dword:00000001
Once you run this file, the system cooling policy will be hidden again in the Power Options menu.
