FYI: I have recently bought a NUC13 and had the same problem and found the solution @edm11 came with. It reenables the template, but in my case, it ruins sleep-mode. (Windows 11 22H2)
Furthermore, after some testing, I found out that switching to ‘Best performance’ in the settings app (system → power) does the job probably just as good.
My 1/100 of 2$
Edit: This NUC has an Intel 13th gen cpu, so Windows probably controls it quite differently from your cpu. Testing, testing, testing… 
But Hibernation mode should work?
(I don’t like any sleep mode, I prefer hibernation)
In an hour or so I’ll check this out. I’m using/abusing it now for some video encoding and it’s in the middle of it. It’s faster than my other computer 
Sorry. A very long hour: Yes, hibernate works fine. Also for the NUC the ‘Ultimate’ power plan works best (most of the time).
Of course, I can stretch things until they break

I suggest that you do NOT attempt to change the power configuration on ANY modern laptop. The “Balanced” configuration on my P17 ThinkPad is locked. Manufacturers put a LOT of effort into getting the maximum performance from their laptops, but the trade-off is heat management. Lenovo locks their power configuration for a reason: altering it can have significant negative repercussions! The previous model to mine, the P71, had documented issues managing heat, including having the CPU shut down.
Laptops and desktops are completely different beasts when it comes to managing heat. In that regard, a laptop is a closed system. IIRC, there are cooling pads that a laptop can sit on, but you still can’t do anything about the internal heat generation.
I understand what you are saying and you make a good point. However, not making ANY changes might be a stretch, as laptop manufacturers themselves give you choices between performance vs battery saving options. So there is at least SOME flexibility. Also, if something is totally locked down, none of the tweaks in the guide will unlock those. I have a Lenovo and there is nothing I or anything in this guide could do to unlock certain power settings. For example, when unplugged, that particular processor was always going to work less. No way to change it. So… if they allow tweaking, perhaps it is meant to be allowed???
If they allow it, then one can try. I would still suggest caution. I don’t recall the original source at the moment, but “with great power comes great responsibility”. 
If you’re not familiar with it, take a look at ParkControl by Bitsum. In addition to CPU core management, it also has a power profile manager. It has a Highest Performance setting that I can no longer use, since I replaced my desktop with the Lenovo. The basic version is free to use. I bought a lifetime license to the Pro version for $9.95.
EDIT: I just noticed that there was a new version and installed it. It seems to have an interesting change. On my Lenovo, instead of offering different power configs (that I can’t use), it is now offering “overlays”: better battery life, high performance and max performance. I need to investigate to see what that they do when applying an “overlay” to the locked Balanced config.
I use the following on my Surface Pro 8.
System>Power and battery>Power mode. You can then choose from “Recommended,” “Better performance,” or “Best performance.” I use best, but the SP8 is so fast that I can’t really judge any difference between best or recommended.
Windows has two types of powermanagement: the modern type with one (balanced) plan augmented with overlays and the legacy one: several plans. Main reason for this is a different way of sleep modes (look up ‘modern sleep’). It is not that the manufacturer has locked it: by adding the above mentioned registry setting, Windows switches back to legacy and all the plans are available again (but in my case it sort of ruins sleep mode, although hibernate still works).
I agree with you that it is best to tweak as least as possible and to do only what is really necessary, but given the real time nature of live music processing it’s a tradeoff: between minimal tweaking and the latency you can afford. I’ve been doing a lot of testing lately (both legacy and modern style) and while the balanced plan with the maximum performance overlay does a rather good job, the ultimate plan gives a little more stable results.
“To tweak or not to tweak”, that’s the question 
Given the documented overheating issues with the model previous to mine, I’m a definite “not to tweak”.
And thanks for the education on overlays. Much appreciated.
I just found out recently myself. 
Below is a link to Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Developer resources page that discusses all things on power management, what it is, the new scheme with the power slider, how it works, and how to change the underlying features for OEMs, developers and enthusiasts. Of particular note is when (what update) it was rolled out in, how it applied to existing settings, and how legacy machines could/can be managed using the new overlay vs the older choice of power plans. Very informative if you want to get into the trenches with power management overlays.
