Windows 10: How to limit CPU maximum speed in new Windows 10 version?

Hi all,

I need to limit CPU maximum speed in my new laptop due to a couple of specific problems that seems to be recurring with the brand and will go away if CPU maximum speed is limited to bellow 100% (following other online forums). I recently did this with another laptop of the brand and the problems did go away, and I need to do this with my new laptop too.

The problem is that now it seems I can't do that the same way I did it last time. Last time I did this:
Control Power > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings > *expand* Processor power usage
Now, the only expandable options in the advanced power settings are: Desktop background settings; sleep; power buttons and lid; display; battery.
Does anyone know how to limit CPU maximum speed in the new version of Windows?



Thank you very much in advance!

Option to limit maximum processor speed is no longer accessible

Hi,

I'm trying to limit my maximum processor speed so that my computer is not using too much power. However, going into the advanced power settings after the latest update shows me that there doesn't seem to be the option as there was in the past to set a hard
maximum processor speed.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
