@#@#... Msft changed the guid on power plans.

I changed it to balanced and high performance disappeared.

below brot it back. it's much better now...

 

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
powercfg /aliases
powercfg /s SCHEME_Min
powercfg /l

Geezus... it apparently has to be done every reboot now.

i guess y'all have given up on notebooks entirely. looks like i'll be following you down that path.

my oldest machine, consigned to host ftp, now requires a daily scheduled reboot.

feels like we're back in the days of 16 bit windows.

Daily doesn't do it. Just had a machine hang 7 hours after it booted, it had been fine an hour before. The mobile cpu machine slows down after 3 or 4 hours.

Anecdotally, I've noticed slowness booting up, waiting 30s or so for the cursor to stop spinning/loading windows services.  I also had to nuke the bing chat installer.

Not really seeing anybody else affected by the February updates. I did a reset yesterday on the mobile cpu machine. It still slowed down an hour or so after booting. Maybe i never really checked sustained performance in the first place? Not sure if i gaslighted myself at this point... Not buying any more notebooks.

That just gets me back to pre-reset... it gives me a few minutes after reboot to use the cpu. after that, which may be 15 minutes or 90, it throttles immediately.

So when i got the Titan, it was 20% faster than the Clevo X170KM-G with i9-11900K.

Now it's 20% slower.

It's a very expensive salesman's powerpoint laptop...

Webroot. Geez...

it was the first thing i checked but something made me think that wasn't it.

uninstalled and performance is back to normal.

unzip is still weird but within normal range.

sheesh.

The unzip weirdness mystery is solved. Something about using displayport to hdmi converter to connect to an old tv was the culprit. probably caused Webroot's issues.

Well, no, nothing i did solved it. At some point between 5 minutes and 18 hours after reboot, unzip performance degrades 500%. But only on the mobile cpu, desktop cpus keep the same performance level.

On the plus side, I've cleaned out a bunch of old stuff i never use, trimmed startup services, and excluded work folders from indexing and a/v.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can't find anything telling me it should be something other than what it is...

Msi updated firmware which set bios back to default balanced instead of high performance. 🫰

Did the firmware upgrade come before or after your problems?

 

And have you tried a different Windows OS ? I mean an older one with older infuced microcode. If you have an spare ssd maybe worth test a couple of older Windows 10 and 11 versions and see how it goes. And don't upgrade them. Just install needed drivers/software in offline mode. Don't let Windows upgrade before you have done the testing.

After. I'm done with it. I'm not looking for a hobby... thanks for the suggestions.

It's still faster overall than the x170, just not as much so.

It's just unzipping huge files where it throttles.

So Webroot wasn't to blame for everything, though some weirdness in Visual Studio cleared up with it gone. After removing it, i turned off daily reboots to see if it solved the issue on the Clevo machines. They still eventually slowed to a crawl after a day to 2 weeks.

I probably had coincidental issues with Windows bogging down and the firmware update on the mobile cpu machine.

 

I've currently got all of them on oem video drivers with Ge Force Experience uninstalled. The one that does my wake-up alarm playlist still does the daily reboot, the others aren't bad enough to be worse than a minor annoyance.

Ain't Windows wonderful?...

no slowdowns with the April 2024 Win10 updates on my end (my old HP Pavilion 2011 desktop pc boots Win10 LTSC 2021 into the login screen in less than a minute and it has a 500Gb HDD [not an SSD])
and I'm using much older PCs than yours, br2
