Hey , I laptop becomes so slow(almost unusable when not puggled in to charger). It is happening from tomorrow when I installed GIMP , VLC , 7 Zip, Paint 3D , 3D viewer , bitdefender parental control simultaneously on my pc , I am not sure that it is happening from the installation only . As when plugged in I am not noticing any drop in the performance of my pc . Only in taskmanager I haven't found any process running from these apps except the bitdefender parental control . Also I noted from taskmanager when plugged in my cpu is normally(without any heavy process running in backround) working at a clock speed of3.60 GHz but when not plugged in its speed is about 0.59 GHz

Hi Sniper7787

Close Control Panel

Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

On the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'

Paste this command into Command prompt and press Enter:

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

When that command completes, close Command prompt and restart (not shut down) your PC.

    Also they said they implement these advanced settings(by bios update) recently to protect the security and stability of their devices , so that user can't able to mess with anything . Also I think the user had paid for it so he/she should given the rights to change any settings

    H Sniper7787

    Set that to HP Recommended, and test to see if the problem remains, if it does, try High Performance.

    Hi Sniper7787

    That is very strange, I have never in 25 years working with PC's heard of anything like that and if that is the case, you wont find a solution in there either.

    Basically on an Intel Processor is a process known as Speed Step, that is managed by a chip and Windows where the more work you send to the processor, the faster it gets and with TurboBoost, that can be 1.5 times the rated clock Speed, and when you are not doing anything intensive, your processor will just be ticking over at a very low speed, your processor seems to be stuck at the lowest speed on battery

    If you have updated the chipset and there is no Speed Steps settings you can access, there is not other settings anywhere in Windows apart form the Power plans, in the Power Plans on your system is there ant higher plans than Balanced?
