I found the problem. 

 

Core Parking.

 

In power schemes if I select High Performance I get 2 cores out of 6. In Balanced I get 4 out of 6. I struggled to disable core parking with all the utilities out there and reg keys and it all failed until I forcefully disabled it in BIOS. I have a Asus motherboard and under Core Activation I was able to set them to manual instead of Auto.

 

It did the trick. No more audio distortion in Youtube gawd daym html5 player because core one is handling the whole computer. To be noted I have a 24bit Audigy that is working A1 on this computer. 

 

In conclusion Microsoft really want to impose core parking so they did something different from previous Windows so we cant toy with that anymore. I'm not against it but now its broken for some of us. (Google "disable core parking"). 

 

Note: If any of you want to know if you have parked cores its in Resource Monitor under CPU that you can see in real time the cpu states.

Please use the insider app to report so they can fix it.

 

My APU when idle still uses 40% - 50% CPU

 

reported it.

Done

 

 

And as a follow up my computer is running very well since yesterday. Idle cpu usage is less than 1%. Power consumption (according to my UPS) is just like before I try Win 10. There are a whole lot of bugs everywhere in this Windows but at least my cpu is doing alright.

Was is always ok in W10TP or Fixed in recent build?

 

Tried the first two TPs where the issue occured.

msconfig.exe boot advanced change the number of cpu's your os is using sorry but ive know that since windows started :p

That's not how that works ... And has nothing to do with core parking.

 

it is used for debugging for different core/cpu requirements. Default uses all core/cpu's.

i5 680 CPU - dual core, 4 logical. Now I'm seeing only half my cores in the Windows 10 task manager (2 logical). Device manager shows all 4. This was not the case the last time I checked and I didn't make any changes. . I think there is a nasty bug in the latest Windows 10 update. 

 

Anyone else seeing this?

SOLVED - Windows 10 by default (which I think was set during some MS update a few months back) has the "Number of processors" for boot check box checked which, depending on the number of processors selected, will boot only that number of processors. The fix is to uncheck this check box. System Configuration --> Boot --> Advanced Options --> uncheck "Number of processors" and also uncheck "Maximum Memory" (not sure why anyone would want to limit the memory). Click OK and reboot. System should come up with correct number of logical processors (AMD cores or Intel Hyperthreads).

Oh lord. Not this (false) chestnut again.

Lol, you're making ###### up or running some bugged out version of your OS. This is not necessary at all.

I didn't have to tweak ###### for my system to run like a mother ######er.

 

Rolling my eyes at your post. :/

    • Hmm, I'll give it a go
    • Is Samsung teasing a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? An official press release suggests so by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar We are inching closer to the launch of this year's premium foldables from Samsung: the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7. Recently, a certification revealed that the affordable Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also debut alongside the other two foldables. The device is expected to take on the standard Moto Razr 2025. While we were getting excited about the trio, Samsung has put out a press release to create some hype around the upcoming foldables. Interestingly, the company has put great emphasis on the "Ultra" branding, which it usually uses for its Galaxy S-series phone and previously for Note-series phones. So, does this mean, we are getting a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? Time will only tell. As for the press release, it is titled "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra" and the first line highlights how Samsung has been listening to fans that have demanded "bigger screens, better cameras and new ways to connect and create." To churn up up the hype, Samsung added, "That’s why Galaxy’s next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering to elevate everyday interactions." The GIF inside the press-release reveals what looks like the Galaxy Z Fold7 (or the Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra, if that exists). Rumors have indicated that this year's Galaxy Z Fold7 is getting taller and wider than last year's model, thanks to a bigger display. The Z Fold7 could also feature a titanium backplate to not only reduce its thickness and make it stronger but to shed some weight as well. The company then directs the attention to its AI features such as voice controls for finding the perfect eatery or shopping place, using powerful AI-powered camera features, and so on. We will get to know more about the devices in the coming weeks. By that time, let us know your thoughts, on whether you would like an Ultra foldable or want Samsung to tweak the existing model and keep the space less-crowded.
    • A couple of friends of mine have been building Gunpla for years and got me interested, so I asked and they recommended this as a fairly good quality, very affordable, starting point. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGN9K1MV It was fun to build, didn't take too long, and helped me decide if I wanted to go further with the hobby, which I did.  Still only got this one built, but that's only due to time availability!
    • I've had an original, a Lite, and an OLED and I have just one question for you.  How big are your hands? I got rid of all three because, simply put, they're sized for kids hands more than anything, especially the Lite.  The Switch 2 is a fair bit larger but I'm not agreeing to Ninty's new EULA for the thing.
    • Where does he say that he'll give 99% to Africa? I agree that he said that he'll give 99% of his wealth, and you quote him saying that the majority will go to Africa. The majority of 99% does not mean all of the 99%. It could mean that he'll give just above half of that.
