If you’re using an HP ProBook 450 G10 with an i7-1355U processor and noticing slow performance, you’re not alone. Many users experience frustration when their laptops don’t perform as expected. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the issue of limited CPU clock speed and Turbo Boost being disabled.
Begin by checking your power settings. Open the Control Panel and navigate to “Power Options.” Make sure you’re set to “High Performance.” This setting should maximize your CPU performance. If you’re already on High Performance, especially for both plugged-in and battery usage, move on to the next step.
Next, update your system. Ensure that you’re running the latest version of your operating system. Go to Settings, then “Update & Security,” and check for updates. Installing the latest updates can resolve many bugs and improve performance.
After confirming your updates, it’s crucial to check the BIOS settings. Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS by pressing the appropriate key (usually F10 or Esc) during startup. Once in the BIOS, navigate to the “Advanced” section. While you may not find explicit controls for Turbo Boost, look for settings related to CPU performance or power management. Enable any options that seem relevant, and ensure that all performance-enhancing features are active.
If you’re still having trouble with Turbo Boost being disabled, it might be helpful to look at third-party software settings. Some applications can limit CPU performance for power saving or thermal management reasons. Programs like Throttle Stop can help you manage CPU performance. However, use them carefully and make sure you understand what settings you are changing.
Finally, if none of these steps remedy the situation, consider the possibility of a hardware issue. Sometimes, overheating can cause the CPU to throttle down to protect itself. Ensure that your laptop is clean, and check that the fan is working properly. If it feels hot, try using a cooling pad to help keep temperatures down.
By following these steps, you should be able to see improvements in your HP ProBook’s performance. If the issue persists, it may be worth consulting with HP support or a professional technician for further assistance.
