How to enable and apply Ultimate Performance on Win10/11

How to turn on and apply Ultimate Performance(High Performance) in Win10/11 at first boot

The way I'm using it now is to put the CMD file in the ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup folder which I feel is too clumsy.
Is there a registry command to turn on and apply Ultimate Performance on the first boot of my system?

1. Post-Setup command:

powercfg /setactive e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

2. Registry file:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Power\PowerSettings]
"ActivePowerScheme"="e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61"

If you're using an edited power plan, replace the GUID.

The following registry keys can be integrated into an image to set the power plan:

; Start > Windows System > Control Panel > Power Options > Preferred plans > High performance
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\User\Default\PowerSchemes]
"ActivePowerScheme"="8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c"

; Start > Windows System > Control Panel > Power Options > Preferred plans > High performance
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\User\PowerSchemes]
"ActivePowerScheme"="8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c"

Note: Both keys are needed together, and you would change the "ActivePowerScheme" values into one of the 4 choices below.

Ultimate: e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
High performance: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
Balanced: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e
Power saver: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a

In NTLite, you can choose the option to integrate keys across all editions at the "Apply" screen, and this will activate the chosen power plan in all four parts of Windows (Install, PE, Setup, Recovery). Having the High performance plan active dramatically increases how fast Windows is installed in a non-VM, and also eliminates a bug that causes certain disk drives to be extremely slow during Windows Setup.

Another post discusses the newer "Ultimate" plan (link) that Microsoft added later.
