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).

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. :/

    • I set out to take a few of his quotes and change them fit this article. The hilarious thing is that other than subbing in "movable volume indicator," I didn't have to change anything at all. His words were just fancy sounding gibberish that could literally apply to anything :-)
    • If you are lucky enough that the grey market key works more than once.
    • how big is your HDD that only has 100gb left? I take it this the main drive.  Is this a pc or laptop? I ask because changing hdd in pcs are much easier. You sure a good clean/purge of data wouldn't clear up space - have you ran disk cleanup? Which is part of windows..  You can for sure move data to your external drive, install programs to it, etc - but using it to store updates?   
    • How to record screen as GIF in Windows 11 by Taras Buria The Snipping Tool app is already quite a capable program for screenshots and screen recordings. Still, there is always room for improvement, and many users agree that the app needs the ability to save screen recordings as GIFs. Microsoft heard those users, and recent updates introduced the long-requested feature, allowing you to record your screen as a GIF. Here is how to do it. Record screen as a GIF in Windows 11 Note: By the time of publishing this article, GIF support in Snipping Tool is only available to Windows Insiders. However, you can enable that feature on stable Windows 11 releases as well; here is how: Go to store.rg-adguard.net, select ProductID in the first drop-down, paste 9MZ95KL8MR0L into the search box, and select Fast in the last drop-down. Press the checkmark button. Find and download Microsoft.ScreenSketch_2022.2505.21.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle in the list of apps. The version number could be newer, just make sure you are downloading an msixbundle file. Note that the browser will warn you about downloading a potentially harmful file. Open the file and click Update. Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Run Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:47081492 and press Enter. The steps above might seem a bit tedious, but that is the only way to get GIF support in Snipping Tool without enrolling your device in the Windows Insider program. We will update the article once the feature is publicly available, so there is no need to jump through all the hoops just to make it work. Tip: You can always roll back Snippint Tool to the latest version from the Microsoft Store by uninstalling it and downloading it again. Now, with GIF support enabled in Snipping Tool, here is how to save a screen recording as a GIF in Windows 11: Press Win + Shift + S, select screen recording mode and record whatever you want. After the recording is over, Snipping Tool will open your video so that you can view, trim, or save it. At this point, all you have to do is click the GIF button in the upper-right corner. On the next screen, select your GIF quality and click Export to save as a file or Copy to copy it to the clipboard. And that is how you save screen recordings as GIFs in Windows 11. Note that Snipping Tool can only save GIFs for up to 30 seconds. Anything beyond that will be cut off. You might think that Clipchamp, Windows 11's built-in video editor, is a good option when you want to save a screen recording as a GIF. However, it really sucks at that. The video duration is capped at just 15 seconds, which is even worse than the Snipping Tool, and the output resolution is hilariously low. The latter makes it impossible to distinguish any details, and all you get is a blurry, pixelated mess. No, Clipchamp is not a good option for that. If you want to create GIFs that are longer than 30 seconds, a good option is to go with apps like ShareX, which is extremely flexible and customizable (and also free, which makes it one of our favorite must-have apps for Windows 11). Alternatively, you can record a video using the Snipping Tool and then convert it to a GIF using web-based services like Ezgif, another great free utility. Keep in mind that the larger your video resolution and the longer its duration, the bigger the final GIF size. Depending on the settings, GIFs could reach hundreds of megabytes, so you have to set your expectations correctly (and so do the settings, too).
