Hi – I found the chagne settings was not there too. However, scroll down further to Show additional plans – and voila there is the high performance button.

The little Shield and the Option mentioned does not appear on my “Advanced Settings” Screen. Is there a way of turning it on?

The shield is Microsoft’s way of indicating that an Administrator has to make changes to the setting in question. You can try right clicking on a setting or link and seeing if there is a RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR option, but more than likely not having a shield would indicate that you have User Account Control (UAC enables Windows to run a specific task as an administrator) disabled. Also, I just checked my recently upgraded build of Windows 10 (14986) and found that the entire CHANGE SETTINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE link has been removed.

in which case your orginal post is now moot.
