I made a new setup to my T61 (with Windows Anytime Upgrade and Think Vantage System Update) and now the power plan 'Energy Star' is missing. I had this power plan with the default installation.
I've created an own power plan but I can't see my own plan on pressing Fn+F3. I just see the four default power plans. I can see my own power plan only when I go to the Setting Properties ("-> Einstellungen verwalten ...") in the black screen which come on Fn+F3.
On my default installation I could also see my own power plan at Fn+F3 so that I could make a quick change between the power plans.
How can I change this?

I don't use clean install so I can't advise you how you can create one and have it displayed when you press Fn+F3 since it works on my lenovo preload without any issue.
However I can tell you a way through which you can have "Energy Star" power plan back on clean install:
Lenovo - New Power Plan (Energy Star at AC mode) Installation for Windows Vista.
