    My Processor is 4 Cores but I can't use 4 Cores, I am only able to use 1 Core


    Here you can see in the task manager, it shows cores: 1, but in device manager there are 4 cores. I went to System Configuration and turned on all 4 cores and played Minecraft smoothly, but recently Minecraft started lagging. So I went to the task manager and saw this and went to system configuration and as you can clearly see, I am not being able to select 4 Cores. Please help me if you can, I am facing big problems, not for playing Minecraft but working with other apps too. Thank you.

    ONLY showing using 1 core out of 4 core processor

    Open up task manager, select performance tab, select cpu.......then look at the bottom right of window. There you will find the info on your cpu......sockets, cores, logical processors and your cache. This is mine....a single processor with 4 cores that has hyper-threading which gives me 8 logical processors.

    ONLY showing using 1 core out of 4 core processor

    I have a quad-core CPU with Windows 10 that only displayed 2 cores and 4 processors with Task Manager.
    This remained the same no matter how many processors I entered in the BOOT Advanced Options of MSConfig.

    I did some research on the internet about showing less cores than your CPU actually contains and discovered ParkControl.

    I fixed the problem by installed ParkControl. ParkControl allows you to configure how many CPU cores are actually put in the parking mode by Windows. Now Task Manager displays 4 cores and 8 processors with MSConfig BOOT Advanced Options "number of processors" turned OFF.

    @barbslife
    In Control Panel/Power Options, if you have settings at 'Balanced' or 'Power Saver', many cores will remain 'Parked' until needed, especially in Power Saver mode on Battery.
    Experiment with the power options and monitor the cores in Resource Monitor/CPU Tab.
    (In High Performance Mode, no cores 'park' themselves)
