First and foremost, Andromeda is the codename of both foldable mobile device (hardware) and the composer (software).

Windows Core OS is a modular and true UWP-version of Windows 10. The Windows Core OS can be installed on any device including mobile, desktop and even HoloLens. Microsoft has already unified the kernel, and with a modular OS and UWP apps, Microsoft’s vision of one Windows across all devices would finally become a reality.

Parked cores? Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I will certainly help you with it.

Many apps don't use all cores. They aren't programmed for it. Then they will use one core and will overload it.

But you can tell Windows to run that process on 2,3, ... and in all cores.

For doing it, follow these steps:

• Open Task Manager
• Select tab Processes
• Right click and select 'Set Affinity'
• Select on which cores you want to run process.

Hope this post helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!
