I constructed my PC a few months back and noticed it's operating with just a single core. Task Manager shows it's using only one core and one logical processor. Do you have any suggestions? I'm running an MSI B350 Tomohawk board and haven't performed any overclocking.

Are you referring to the task manager displaying only the first core and thread, rather than all cores? Or are you experiencing just two graphs instead of the full 12? Because differences in usage and actual core counts can indicate potential problems.
Check msconfig.
Type msconfig in the windows search bar, then navigate through the steps:
Msconfig > Boot > Advanced options.
You can verify the number of processes or ensure it hasn't been previously checked.

Set up a secondary tool to track CPU usage. Use CPU-Z at the provided link. Verify BIOS configurations for all cores being active.

I checked the Bios and didn't find any available option. The nearest thing was a downcore setting, which I enabled for four cores (2+2), but it caused my computer to slow down and the Task Manager still showed only one core.

Did Windows come as a brand-new setup for this machine, or was it transferred from another system?

The system was newly set up. I also installed CPU-Z, which reports one core and one thread, even though the processor has six cores.
