  1. Is there a way to turn off throttling when on battery power?


    I have a Ryzen gaming laptop (2019) and when it is plugged in, it works just fine. But when unplugged, its just almost unusable. There are just so many stutters here and there even while scrolling. There are delays in opening apps. Also, dealing with text (selecting, deleting etc.) takes a bit of a second to complete. It gets really annoying.

    It gives me good battery life, I admit, but I still want to use this laptop to the fullest even when on battery power. Is there a way to turn these limitations off? Thanks

    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

  4. Is there a way to turn off throttling when on battery power?

    Is the Windows Update responsible for CPU throttling?

    Yes Windows 10 update absolutely is responsible!...And I haven't been able to fix it either specifically when encoding video through Handbrake. Windows introduced a concept called "Power Throttling" at both a system level and on an app by app basis. Basically, so as to help improve battery life, this lets Windows automatically determine which apps are running in the foreground and which should be placed in the background. Performance limits are imposed on apps in the background to limit their drain on the battery when not in immediate use. However, this is ruining my nightly video encodes, as it is taking more than 3 times as long, since it is limiting Handbrake to functioning at approximately 1/3 capacity. As long as I am using Handbrake actively, encodes occur at full pace, but as soon as I leave the computer alone for a few minutes, Handbrake is throttled. It resumes full capacity if I change the Windows power plan to another and back, but only while I am actively using Handbrake.

    I have tried all avenues to deactivate this for either the system at large or for the Handbrake program specifically. I include what steps I have taken in case it helps someone else, but I have not been able to stop Windows interfering with the throttling feature.

    - System Level

    • Click on battery icon in system tray and drag new slider to "Best performance". This is supposed to turn all "Power Throttling" off.
    • One can also, supposedly, deactivate "Power Throttling" through Group Policy
      • Click [Win] and then type "Edit group policy"
      • Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Power Management -> Power Throttling Settings
      • Open Turn off Power Throttling and select Enabled to turn it off for all apps.

    - App Level

    • Go to Settings [Win]+ -> System -> Battery -> Battery Usage by App

      [*]Locate "Handbrake" in the list and deselect "Let Windows decide..."
