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.
Surface pro 4 - clock speed of CPU keeps the same

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 for me as well. Thanks for the hint about the second reboot. I also had to reboot twice even though the system never prompted for the second reboot.

If rebooting twice still doesn't fix the cpu scaling issue, reset your power scheme to default then reboot again.

2016-09-01T20:50:44+00:00 The latest update did not fix the problem for me. I also had to do the second reboot. Things were working temporarily, and I think that was before the second reboot, but after the CPU speed in Task Manager and fixed back at max and my battery is draining FAST.
