Windows 10: I changed the number of cores in msconfig to 4 my computer's maximum but I don't see any...

I need help with this cause my computer lags very much recently and I don't know why. I searched up for solutions on why my PC started to suddenly lag but the only tips were for me to defragment my disk, uninstall big programs and close unnecessary background applications. Those didn't help at all so I'm really trying to find something that works.

Is it safe to change CPU core setting in msconfig on HP laptop?

Do not fiddle with 'Number of Cores' in msconfig, Windows knows which cores to engage in which order at boot time!

Set your power plan to 'High Performance', right click on the CPU graph and choose "Change graph to ► Logical processors" then all cores will be utilized 100% during use.
Never mind boot time.

 

Volume Mute Light won´t change color

For my model only up to win7 is listed and HP says that it does not provide win 10 upgrades for a laptop my age. Don´t know how to open or use msconfig-my computer skills are very selective and all in all very poor.

 

I changed number of cores in Msconfig and now my pc won't boot

Hi Team,

I changed the number of cores on my cpu in my Msconfig after a stupid suggestion and now my pc will not start. It says automatic repair can't repair your pc and the only option I have is to go to advanced options. Can someone please help me with this, I presume it would be fixed through command prompt but I am not sure which commands to do! I have tried resetting, that will not work, and I am completely lost. Thank you very much
