    Windows 10 Task Manager only showing half my cores.

    Hi Jim, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

    Try these steps, which may make Task Manager show the correct amount of cores:

    - Click Start and search for msconfig.

    - Select System Configuration.

    - In the Boot tab, click on Advanced Options.

    - You should see an option to set the number of cores. Change this to the correct amount, click OK then reboot.

    Hopefully Task Manager should show the correct number now. Please let me know if you need further support! Thanks!
