Windows 10: CPU throttling

I recently purchased a used HP Stream 14-ax010wm and did a clean win10 install. The issue is that the processor only runs at a maximum 30% .48ghz. When I start in safe mode it's functioning how it's supposed to. I've tried setting minimum cpu usage, disabled low power throttling, and clean-booted with non-microsoft processes disabled to no avail. Any other ideas?

Win10 CPU Throttling

Win10 appears to throttle the CPU down when it gets too hot. This is probably a good thing (I figure it prevents the CPU from melting down). It seems, though, that Win10 doesn't seem to recognize when the CPU has cooled back down, so the CPU remains in
a throttled-down mode indefinitely. I haven't figured out a way to reliably get Win10 to reset the throttling. As a work around, I have downloaded ThrottleStop which allows me to override Win10's behavior. Of course, I now have to manually watch the temperature
to ensure that the CPU doesn't overhead, but it's better than having an unusable CPU. Is anyone aware of a solution to reset Win10 throttling so that I don't have to use a third-party product to do it? Better yet, has Microsoft acknowledged the issue and
provided any guidance on when this issue might be corrected?

In case it matters, I am using a Dell Laptop E6410 with an Intel Core i7 M 640 CPU.

 

Prevent Cpu throttle on Battery

Setting the CPU minimum to something higher will not make any difference to performance, only increases power consumption/heat when the CPU does not have to work hard.
The title of the thread is wrong to call it throttling. The CPU is designed to increase up to the turbo max when demands are made on the CPU.

" I'm assuming setting it at 100% will make the CPU run at 2.8 GHz constantly"
Not on my Laptop.
The nominal clock is 2.5 GHz, however the turbo range or speed stepping ranges from 800 MHz to 3.1 GHz.
On the so-called "Best performance" setting the CPU has a 2.5 GHz idle frequency/min, but it still turbos up to 3.1 GHz when required.
The next setting down "Better performance" has the full stepping range from 800 MHz to 3.1 GHz.
On testing this with something taxing the CPU, "Better performance" setting is just as good as "Best" but with less power consumption between tasks.

The tinkering with settings by modding the Registry is pointless.

The Power Plans indicated are no more on the latest iteration of Windows 10 anyway.

"I may set it at 25% instead of 5% that it's defaulted to while plugged in. "

I doubt if that will do anything, it depends on the stepping range of the CPU clock allowed for your particular CPU. as you can see with mine it won't make a hoot of a difference. If it is set to 5% nothing happens it is still 800 MHz minimum(26%).

 

Prevent Cpu throttle on Battery

Hello,

I recently upgraded my Laptop by adding an SSD with windows 10 pro.

Now I noticed the computer throttles the cpu frequency whenever I'm on battery even on high performance profile.
(In task manager I can see cpu frequency instantly dropping from 2.3-2.5 to 1.2 GHz as soone as I unplug the AC adapter).

The issue is not bios related and It does not happen on Ubuntu nor window 7( I mesured and the cpu frequency does not change when I unplug).

I tried the following:
- High performance profile.
- increased "minimum processor state" in power plan settings to 60% (https://i2.wp.com/www.techconsumergu...ng?w=452&ssl=1)
- Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Throttling Settings and I Enabled the "turn off power throttling"


Still windows 10 throttles whenever I'm on battery.

Can someone suggest a solution for this?

Thanks in advance
