How to Restore Default Power Settings in Ventura [Fixed]

In this guide, we will show you the steps to restore the default Power Settings on your Mac running Ventura. The thirteenth iteration of the OS has bought in a slew of intriguing features as well as some UI overhauls as well. If we talk about the latter one, then its the System Settings menu that has undergone a massive tweak, though not all these changes are being welcomed by the masses.

In this regard, one of the most infuriating changes is the removal of Energy Saver from System Settings. So if you want to carry out any task such as scheduling your Mac to automatically shut down and restart, then your only way out is to take the help of commands. And now, there has been another such entry to this list. The ability to restore the default Power Settings has been removed from Ventura and the only way of carrying out this task is via Terminal.

Removal of an option that could easily be accessed from the menu and instead forcing users to execute commands in the Terminal window for the same task doesn’t make an iota of sense, but if you’re a tech behemoth of the level of the Cupertino giant, then you could take as many weird decisions as you want because, after all, users are still bound to be stuck in your ecosystem.

Anyways, keeping the criticism aside, let’s make you aware of the steps to restore the default Power Settings on your Mac Ventura via commands.

  • Not sure if mine has anything to do with the display settings changes, but when I leave my MacBook on power adapter overnight, the next morning my MacBook is OFF, dark. I have to do a hard reset to turn it on again. Happens 2 times now, is my MacBook screen damaged or just a setting issue?
