    How do I reset my cpu back to it's base speed


    The base speed of my cpu is 2.30 GHz but right now its running at around 4.50 GHz and I was wanting to know what I need to do to get it back to its base speed?

    CPU speed much lower than base speed

    My computer has been slow for quite a while now even while performing basic tasks such as web browsing (to the point where simply typing into a search bar can take several seconds before the computer shows me that I've typed anything) and I've finally gotten around to trying to search for a solution. I noticed that the speed listed on the performance tab of task manager is significantly lower than the base speed listed there (0.78GHz vs 2.59GHz) See here I suspect that this may be largely what is causing my problems.

    I have tried the following things to bring this speed closer to my base speed:

    • Moving the power management slider to "Best performance" See here
    • Increased the minimum processor state when plugged in to 100% See here
    • Turned off Speedstep in my Bios (which is described in the BIOS as forcing my CPU into its maximum performance mode
    • Turned off C-states in my BIOS which is described in the BIOS as allowing the processor to be put in other performance modes

    Notably I have been trying the fixes recommended in this thread: Maximum Processor Speed Lower Than It Should Be

    Any advice on steps I can take short of reinstalling Windows is greatly appreciated!

    System details:
    Dell Latitude E7450
    Intel Core i5-4310U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.59GHz
    8.00GB RAM
    64-bit OS and processor

    my cpu speed is set at base speed 1.19ghz

    Yes the speed stays the same when I load up any cpu consuming task and hp bios doesn't have Intel step speed and turbo boost settings
