My power options suddenly disappeared and my SP3 doesn't give me minute/hour estimates on time now.

I feel like I just conquered the whole Hyper-V problem... now my Surface Pro 3 has found another reason to start giving me weird battery life problems.

I've run powercfg to get my reports for sleep study and energy... and looks like RealTek Audio and my Marvell AC controller are giving me drama.

What do?

It sounds like you enabled connected standby. When in connected standby, your power options disappear and it no longer shows the time remaining for your battery.

Only options I've gotten were balanced. Also
Connected Standby battery drain issue

Can I stop that? I was perfectly fine with the way my Surface Pro 1st and 2nd gen handled power management... this guy loves to kick the fan into jet engine mode during light use, rape my battery and get to levels of heat that are completely disproportionate and without those power options I feel powerless to do anything about it.

How is connected standby raping your battery? If anything, it would help it.

To turn off connected standby, just enable hyper-v again.

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype on

Then restart. You should have your power plans back. But remember they enabled it for a reason, possibly thermal issues if not watched correctly.
