    Windows 10 CPU frequency is locking at 0.78 Ghz


    Hello,


    I am facing with the CPU frequency where it locks at 0.78 GHz when I run any software or game on my laptop, I followedthis thread but it didn't help me.

    I also read about a similar issue here, but couldn't follow it up as I am not part of the Windows Insider Program.


    Can anyone please suggest any solution regarding this issue??

    :)

    CPU frequency locks at 0.78 GHz

    Hello,

    My CPU get locks at 0.78 GHz and not going up or down. In the same time when CPU is locked at 0.78 GHz,

    laptops fans runs fast (noisy) but the coming air is not even hot.

    I have found a tool named Intel(R) Extreme tuning utility to use it as monitor of "what's going on with my system",

    i'm not overclocking or changing something in CPU.

    Tuning utility shows value of "Thermal Throttling" as 100% i think this is the reason why CPU stays at 0.78 GHz, it get down step because of this thermal throttling.

    CPU package and core temperature is normal around 40c .

    All this information is visible into this picture:

    Windows 10 CPU frequency is locking at 0.78 Ghz 0e05a760-5e71-41dd-a028-42165b6d17f2.png

    With random combination of reboots, shutdown unplug power and plug power CPU gets frequency stepping again

    Thermal Throttling is becoming zero and fans stop... and everything goes normal.

    Can someone explain what is connection between Windows (10) OS and CPU freq. stepping.

    I think there is some connection because of available options in power plan settings, there is options Processor power management

    that can control CPU min and max freq. state, but i'm not pretty sure is it related to "Thermal Throttling".

    Help!!!! CPU operating at only 0.51 GHz


    .
    .
    Look at the Performance tab and at the bottom click Open Resource Monitor, check if you are seeing only 1 core out of the 2, 3 or 4 on the CPU. I get different speeds depending on the core, usually waiting a bit will step through the cores.

    CPU usage capped & frequency locked to 0.59 GHz

    Hi,

    I've been running into a problem with my HP Spectre 13 X2 where after a few sleep/wake cycles the CPU usage caps at 33% and the frequency locks to 600MHz. It stays this way until a reboot - hibernate/resume won't resolve it, nor will plugging in/removing
    AC power.

    I saw a report of a similar sounding issue where someone was able to work around this problem by removing the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery device from device manager & letting windows reinstall. That hasn't helped for me. A hard reboot
    is the only workaround I've found.

    Wondering if there was any power/thermal throttling going on I installed Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to diagnose -- no power/thermal throttling is going on. Screenshot attached. So I think windows just isn't trying to run any faster.

    Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated..

    - Joe
