Fixed with today's update. Thanks, MS!
NOTE: I had to reboot twice after updating. So if anyone is not seeing the fix try a restart.

After updating to windows 10 (1607), I find that the clock speed of the CPU keeps to be 2.92GHz when plugged, and to be 2.47GHz when using battery. My surface pro 4 has a core i5 CPU. It seems strange because the clock speed of CPU should change with the workload in the Task Manager. Does anyone have the same problem?

2016-08-14T15:07:37+00:00 What i would like to know is that on all my laptops this doesn't happen and on the Surface does. Also this shouldn't be a problem since the "base structure" to receive the OS is the same...... So once again this is mainly Suface related. As stated these are the results of the insider program but i wonder how many have a Surface to run the tests on.
AU on the Surface lacks a lot of testing and i for one are NOT going to be their guinea pig !!!!!!! Thinking seriously on installing W8.1 (that i used on my prior tablet WITHOUT problems) and start from there......

2016-08-13T20:41:30+00:00 Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
Change CsEnabled to 0 (should be previously 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\8baa4a8a-14c6-4451-8e8b-14bdbd197537
Change Attributes to 0 (should be previously 1)
Restart and now you should have advanced power settings visible in Power Options > Change Advanced Power Settings. Under Processor Power Management you should now see Processor performance autonomous mode. This should be originally Enabled so change to Disabled.
