I recently upgraded my Dell Laptop for Windows 10 to Windows 11 and during the upgrade process, I lost access to to the System Cooling Policy which controls laptop fan usage, so thought I would create a separate thread to help others.

To re-add the System Cooling Policy requires a registry change and details as per below.

So to re-add the system cooling policy, I created via notepad the following .reg document named – ‘Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00’ and added the below text.

ref file name:  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00.reg

—–

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

Then I saved the Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00.reg file to my desktop and doubled clicked the file and approved the question it asks to add the necessary reg files to allow changes to the registry.

I decided to skip this version of Windows, as practice shows, they have normal versions one after another.
