Windows 10: Enable Processor Performance Boost Mode in Windows 11

​

Modern processors are designed to increase their clock speeds automatically when additional performance is needed. In Windows 11, a setting called Processor Performance Boost Mode lets you control how aggressively the CPU uses these boost frequencies. This setting is hidden by default on most PCs and must be enabled manually before it appears in Power […]

Processor Performance Boost Mode registry key?

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

The registry key you're looking for is located in the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7

The specific value you'll need to change depends on the power plan you're using, but it should be one of the following:

"BoostState" (DWORD): Set this to 1 to enable the performance boost mode, or 0 to disable it.

"BoostValue" (DWORD): Set this to the desired boost value in hexadecimal format (e.g. 0x3 for a boost value of 3).

You can use the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to navigate to the key and modify the value manually, or you can create a batch file that uses the "reg" command to change the value.

Here's an example batch file that sets the BoostState value to 1:

__________________________________________________________________

@Echo off

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7" /v "BoostState" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

echo Processor performance boost mode enabled.

pause

Note that modifying registry keys can have unintended consequences if done incorrectly, so be sure to make a backup of your registry before making any changes. Also, keep in mind that enabling performance boost mode may increase your CPU's temperature and power consumption, so use it at your own risk.

 

How to restore the processor usage in Windows 10 and Windows 11 to 100% to default and restore the Intel Turbo Boost Technology? [Solution]

Restoring the processor usage in Windows 10 and Windows 11 to 100% to its default settings and enabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology involves a few steps. However, it's important to note that the processor usage is typically managed by the operating system and automatically adjusts to the workload. You may not need to manually set it to 100% unless you have specific reasons.

Here's a general guideline on how to reset processor usage and enable Intel Turbo Boost Technology:

1. Processor Usage: By default, Windows manages the processor usage to optimize performance and power efficiency. If you still want to set it to 100%, follow these steps:
   
   • Right-click on the Windows taskbar and select "Task Manager."
     
   • In the Task Manager window, go to the "Processes" tab.
     
   • Find the process you want to set to 100%, right-click on it, and choose "Go to details."
     
   • In the "Details" tab, right-click on the process, and you should see an option like "Set affinity."
     
   • In the "Set affinity" window, check all the available processors or cores to allocate 100% of the CPU resources to the process.
     
   Keep in mind that setting a process to use 100% of the CPU continuously might not be the best idea as it can lead to overheating and reduced system performance.
   
2. Intel Turbo Boost Technology: To enable Intel Turbo Boost Technology, you typically don't have to do anything in Windows. It's a feature that's enabled by default in most cases. However, if you want to ensure it's enabled, you can check the BIOS/UEFI settings:
   
   • Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup by pressing a specific key during boot. Common keys are F2, F10, Delete, or Esc, depending on your computer manufacturer.
     
   • Navigate through the BIOS/UEFI menus to find the CPU settings or Performance settings.
     
   • Look for an option related to Intel Turbo Boost Technology, often called "Turbo Boost" or "Enhanced Turbo," and make sure it's enabled.
     
   • Save and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.
     

Remember that Intel Turbo Boost Technology automatically adjusts CPU clock speeds based on the workload, so it should already be working optimally by default.

Lastly, it's important to emphasize that modifying CPU usage and Turbo Boost settings should be done with caution. Setting a process to use 100% CPU constantly can lead to overheating and reduced hardware lifespan. Be sure to monitor your system's temperatures and performance when making such adjustments and revert them to default if you encounter issues.

Processor Performance Boost Mode registry key?

Hi,

I frequently switch between the processor performance boost mode options. I want to make it easier by making a bat file to change the registry key. But the problem is, I don't where is the value to change. Can you help me?
