Cortex Power Plan Settings - Unable to make changes

Hi All I notice that the if we enable Cortex Game Booster with "Enable Game Power solutions", the PC's power plan will be automatic switch to "Razer Cortex Power Plan", there is no problem with that However, it seems this plan has a fix settings every time we turn it on through Cortex, any changes made in Windows power plan settings will be readjusted to the default. The problem is, I'm using a Barracuda Pro wireless headset, if the "USB selective suspend settings" is enabled with the power plan, the headset will be disconnected after about 40 mins use, and the USB in the device manager will show an error as "USB device descriptor request failed", I had to restart the PC every single time to fix the problem. So is there any way we can change the Cortex power plan Configurations, specifically the "USB selective suspend settings", every time I change the setting to disable and restart the Game booster, this part goes back to enable again. P.S I tried to look it up in all ini configuration files for Cortex, it doesn't seem to exist, so i believe the powerplan configuration is in a dll. file, does anyone know which one is it? Thanks for the support

Hello if anyone still needs help with being able to customize the Razer power plan I have found a solution. I’m not exactly sure what I did that allowed this but it is now accepting changes. The first thing I tried was going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Razer\Razer Cortex\BoostSettings\boost.ini and changing the BasePwrSchID= to the one I wanted. This didnt work. Then I tried setting to read only. Still nothing. Last thing I tried was deleting the Razer Cortex Power Plan and creating my own custom Power Saving power plan. I renamed the Power Saving plan to Razer Cortex Power Plan and updated the id and it works! I hope this helps someone out. Sorry if its hard to follow I’m just not sure what worked so I posted everything. Happy gaming all :)
