Processor State Value Workaround for Windows Embedded Standard 7
Posted By Windows Embedded Team
If you are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 (Standard 7) on some devices, you may need to manually set the processor state to 100% to avoid slow performance problems if your processor is not correctly responding to an increase in processor state. This is a known issue on Intel Haswell boards but can happen on other boards as well.
A work-around for this issue is to manually set both the minimum and maximum CPU values for processor state to 100%.
To manually set the CPU values:
- On your device, open Control Panel > Power Options and click Change plan settings next to the power plan currently in use.
- Click Change advanced power settings.
- Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
- Expand Processor power management, then expand Minimum processor state.
- Click Setting (%): and change the value to 100%.
- Expand Maximum process state.
- Click Setting (%): and change the value to 100%.
- Click OK.
