New system

"Efficiency Mode" to OFF

Settings to maximize performance.

Opened Edge with 9 tabs, used for 15 minutes (every tab)

19 tabs and processes in "Efficiency Mode"

Types question

30 tabs and processes in "Efficiency Mode"

Windows STOPPED

The (anti) efficiency mode is severely disrupting system performance.

WHY?

    Turning it off also does nothing. This is what I complained about in the first place. Edge still operates in so called '"efficiency mode" even though it is turned off.

    If Microsoft does not fix this efficiency issue, it will give Apple more sales on MACS. They need to allow their customers full access. They paid for the computer, after all.

    MS also writes off the gaming community with one hand and begs the gaming community to buy its hardware with the other. They assume that everyone is a 40 something man using a laptop on a business trip and ignore the fact that desktop computers do not even USE a battery, let alone a battery that needs to use less power.

    Hello Robert Raio,

    Thank you for your attention, but your solution is a palliative, by activating the performance mode the processor core works at maximum frequency and we don't want to damage it right!, we need a definitive solution using it in balanced mode and allowing the deactivation of this absurd feature in the manager of tasks, otherwise I will be compromising my equipment and having the hassle of activating and deactivating the power mode several times, think a little with me please...

    solve the problem in a definitive and non-paleative way...

    Um, it does help and it will only run at 100% if the user lets it happen right!

    Go into the advanced power management settings, scroll down to Process power management, expand minimum processor state and change the value from 100% to whatever you want right!

    I have it set to 70% (no particular reason) and my i7-10700K will drop below the base 3.8ghz.
