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.

Rebuilding my whole pc is NOT an acceptable solution.

Well, I was able to fix this by ... REFORMATING my device and doing a clean install. Now my device slows down and speeds up when necessary (thank God).

I normally wouldn't format it so willy nilly, but since I had just formatted it 2 days prior, then it wasn't that big of a deal. Luckily all my content gets synced down from the server (documents, pictures, videos, installers, etc) - otherwise this would have been a complete nightmare.

Same problem here. Core m3 stays at 1.5Ghz. Not clocking up or down.

Great Anniversary Update!
