Is your multicore processor not delivering enough performance as it should?

Maybe a few cores are activated and performing all the tasks.

So, without further ado, lets begin.

Check out our separate post oncan you return a CPU with bent pins.

Suppose you have an 8-core CPU, and only 4 cores are working.

Go to your mobos BIOS and enable all 8 cores from theMulticore Support tweaks.

msconfig-from-run

it’s possible for you to also enable hyperthreading from BIOS.

Note:BIOS prefs and interface differ from one motherboard brand to another.

Let me show you the steps to enable all the physical CPU cores from BIOS.

Hyperthreading will execute and handle all the tasks better than a non-hyperthreaded process.

If your processor supports hyperthreading, you must enable it for improvement performance.

Your PC will restart and boot to Windows.

Now check whether all the CPU cores are activated by throwing heavy tasks to the CPU.

I hope the CPU can handle all the tasks easily because of all the activated cores.

Go to theSystem Configurationand grab the highest number of processors.

The number of processors represents the number of logical cores of the CPU.

After that, a restart is required.

check-number-of-logical-cores-from-task-manager

Click theRestartbutton from the prompt dialog box.

From the Task Manager, you might see the total number of physical and logical cores.

Youll find both of them with numbers.

chnage-task-manager-graph-view-to-logical-processor

The number represents the total core count and logical processor count.

That means you have successfully activated all cores and HyperThreading in the CPU.

You must launch the Task Manager and see the graph chart for the logical cores for monitoring CPU performance.

If you have 6 logical cores, you will see 6 separate graphs.

FAQs

How can I enable all cores on my CPU?

Why cant I use all CPU cores?

The Processor doesnt decide whether to run on full cores for apps.

It depends on the app.

Otherwise, you really shouldnt meddle with the CPU cores.

Windows 10 management system can manage the cores for you to run all the apps.

It will activate all the cores for an app when needed; else, it wont.

I hope you understand the main concern here.
