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.

    I completely agree... But I am leaving in 3 days for a month, and I won't have the resources with me that I have now to fix any issues just in case it gets really bad (like having my server send down all my files). So, I decided to just do it now. It worked.

    I tried to reset my computer. But nothing changes, the CPU is still high.

    I had the same problem and it was solved by re-installing the update via the Media Creation Tool:

    You do not have to create a USB stick, only execute the tool to update your device.
