Windows 10: Maximum throttle all the time

For the last week or so, my throttle seems to be stuck at full power, no matter what I do with my throttle lever. I am using a TWCS for my throttle and a VKB Gladiator NXT for my joystick. If I reduce the throttle, the engine slows down for a moment, then goes back to full power. This is annoying as heck.


I've set up several profiles for both of my controllers. After the latest update, any effort to change profiles causes the game to crash. Fan...frakkking...amazing.


Any suggestions?

MSFS 2020 Throttle

I have the throttle quadrant and it all works fine except the throttle range is from 50% to full throttle only. It will not reduce past halfway.

The game controller calibration works correctly and it works correctly with FSX and X-PLANE.

Any suggestions?

 

Windows is power throttling for no reason.

Hi Damon_203,

It is normal to have lower CPU Core Frequency when your computer is idle
for it is not working as hard as when it is active. This can help your computer save energy since less resources are used during this period. If you do not wish Windows to throttle your CPU when idle, you can either set your
Power Options to Performance or change the
minimum processor state from the default 5% to your desired setting in
Advance power settings. To do this, please follow the steps below:

1. Press the Windows and R keys simultaneously.
2. Type-in powercfg.cpl and press Enter.
3. From here you choose your desired power plan.
4. You can change power plan's settings by clicking Change plan settings.
5. Click on Change advanced power settings.
6. Look for Processor power management and click on the plus sign (+) to expand the list.
7. You can set the Minimum and Maximum processor states to
   100%.
8. Click OK.

If you have additional questions, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
