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.
