The task manager displays identical results. I’m puzzled by this, having checked the BIOS and confirmed all cores are active. I also attempted to adjust settings via msconfig without success. HWiNFO lists 4 cores and 8 threads, yet cores #2 and #3 are missing. Any solutions, advice, or updates would be appreciated? Is everything functioning properly despite this?

which containers are you talking about? if you navigate to Msconfig>Boot>Advanced Options then you can set the number of processors at startup, uncheck that option or check it and review how many processors appear in the dropdown, for your particular processor it should be 8 since it supports 8 threads; if it doesn't display 8 threads then it might indicate a problem with your BIOS, reset the BIOS or install an updated version as it could be a bug.

This setting reaches its highest value at 4, but it should display 8. Trying to toggle it both ways still gives the same outcome.

Ensure it is set to 8, then reset the BIOS. If it doesn't work, update the BIOS.

You probably just need to reset everything, but I’m not sure about the backup steps. Since I don’t often use BIOS, it’s likely simple.

Once you restart the BIOS, you can turn on XMP to ensure your RAM operates at its rated speed. This is crucial for performance, and you won’t risk data loss otherwise.

I've also seen people facing the same problem after upgrading their systems while retaining the same Windows setup on their old machine. The only solution was a complete reinstall.

It seems the update didn't take effect. I'll attempt a fresh installation. Appreciate your support!

Are you referring to a complete reset of Windows or just a fresh setup? Either way, backing up your data would be wise.
