Windows 10: Why can't I limit the maximum CPU frequency after the most recent windows 10 update?

I use an older laptop from around 2013, and I prefer to run it on the lowest possible CPU frequency to extend the lifespan of the hardware, and because it's somewhat annoying to have to recharge it all the time. I was a bit shocked to discover after installing the most recent update that the advanced power settings no longer appear to allow control over the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. Is this in fact the case, or am I overlooking something?

CPU Maximum frequency stuck at 22%

I've noticed my Dell Inspiron 5570's CPU usage in task manager has been stuck at a very low number, around 10 - 20% recently and as a result is slower than usual to the point where even simple applications such as Youtube take minutes to load if they manage
to. I found the cause to be the CPU maximum frequency to be 22% at all times according to the resource monitor. My brother's laptop's maximum frequency fluctuates between 80 and over 100%, and so I presume this is what should occur. To fix this, I have tried:

- Restarting the computer

- Taking out and reentering the battery

- Updating Windows

- Setting the power plan's minimum and maximum CPU usage for on battery and plugged into 100%.

- Create a new power plan with 'high performance' and 100% minimum and maximum CPU

- Uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control method Battery

- Checked the temperature which appears to be normal

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Tl;DR My laptop's CPU usage won't go above 22% even though the power plan tells it to

Sorry for my English

 

Change Maximum Processor Frequency in Windows 10


Thank you for letting me know guys. Tutorial updated.

You can add this setting back if wanted, but there's really no need to change it unless you wanted to limit the CPU max frequency.
