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

Unable to change tabs or programs

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

WHY?

How do I STOP this?

    Please remove the efficiency mode. I haven't been dissapointed with Windows for a couple of years - until now.

    Removing the Efficiency Mode would violate Microsoft's fundamental strategic goals of (a) coddling the West Coast Liberals who think that reducing a laptop's power consumption by 0.2 mWatt will save the Amazon Rainforest, and (b) ensuring that any company which dares create a product that competes with a product Microsft copied, or wants to copy, is eliminated just like Microsoft did to CP/M and Netscape.

    Maybe a BudLight exec got fired and went to work for Microsoft - they don't learn...

    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.

    I have never regretted upgrading Windows as much as I do right now. Now, all my programs and apps do nothing but freeze and lock up. I have tried so many things to disable this so that I can actually work and not have to restart due to my computer freezing up every 10-15min... and absolutely NOTHING works. On top of my laptop now being in expensive paperweight mode, I cannot revert to Windows 10 for some reason.

    This is even worse than Cortana.
