Of course my account is an administrator, and I've also tried using the true administrator account with the "net user Administrator active"-command. Sadly, I can't change my Power Options, because it just says that they're being managed by the system administrator. Obviously, that's quite annoying considering my external hard drive keeps dis- and reconnecting once in a while because I can't change my USB-options.
I've had this problem (not being able to change the settings) for a few months now and I didn't really care, but since my external hard drive startet disconnecting regularly a few days ago, I now want to take control again. Interestingly, I've fixed the problem with my external HDD a few years ago, but since I've moved a few days ago it reappeared, even though the only thing that has changed is that I removed my old (former secondary) GPU.
I've also tried consulting Google, but that just leads me to outdated links and solutions for problems I don't have (lots of people seem the get the same message when trying to update Windows).
I really don't get how even the admin account is not good enough for this easy task.
How can I change my power options?
