Surface pro 4 - clock speed of CPU keeps the same

Anonymous

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?

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.

    It seems a regedit issue, I got an experimental fix from here(https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/4wfish/progressfix\_for\_the\_anniversary\_update\_cpu/) and it works fine until now, mine is surface book i5/dgpu/256g, hope it works for you

    This seems to have worked for me. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the link to the other thread. I downloaded the registry fix and applied it. It appears to be working correctly now. Have rebooted 4 times already and it survived each reboot. So this works for me. I have a SP4 i7.

    Very appreciate the assistance and advice from all on this thread. Thanks.
