Processors and graphics cards aren't reaching their full speed limits.
Hi, I see you're dealing with performance concerns on your CPU and GPU. It sounds like the CPU stays under 50% usage but throttles to around 1.20 GHz during stress, while the GPU maintains a higher clock speed of about 1100 MHz under load. The issue started recently after a day ago. You've shared a screenshot from Task Manager and temperature data from Cinebench R15. Let me know if you need help interpreting those results or troubleshooting further.
Might belong to a sci-fi universe if you've experimented with it, or could exist on a system with a "SAFE MODE" or "SLOWMODE" button.
While working under pressure the temperatures seem normal, so the problem isn’t there. I haven’t tested any updates yet—I don’t want to point fingers at MS, but automatic updates can sometimes cause issues on different builds. If you have a recent system restore, try it first to check if the issue is software-related. Once that’s done, it’ll be easier to identify what’s affecting performance. If the problem continues, you might want to look into hardware faults. My PC asked for permission to restart and install updates two days ago; I declined, preferring to wait a week or ten days before reporting any issues online.
