If the value does not go beyond a certain point, it means the CPU is being throttled.ĬPU throttling happens when the CPU overheats.The Maximum Frequency value shows the current power consumption by the CPU.In the run box, enter: perfmon.exe /res and tap the Enter key.Tap the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the run box.On Windows 10, you can do this with the Resource Monitor tool, or you can use a third-party CPU monitoring tool for the job. In the right panel, double-click the Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions policy: in the modal window that will appear, activate it by switching the radio button from Not configured to Enabled, then set the desired amount of time in the drop-down list right below. If you suspect the CPU is being throttled, you can check it by keeping an eye on the CPU usage. This of course means that tasks will take more time to complete, your system may freeze, and everything will be slow.
Windows 10 will normally throttle power to the CPU if it’s heating up. A CPU can get hot to a certain extent but if it heats up beyond a certain point, it needs to cool down one way or the other to prevent permanent damage to the hardware. The more intensely a CPU works i.e., the more processes it runs at the same time, the more power it uses, and the hotter it runs. On Windows 10, if the CPU heats up too much, or the temperature in the chassis builds up to the point that it is dangerous for hardware, the system will either shut down or it will throttle the CPU’s power to reduce the temperature. One component that tends to heat up and can subsequently be damaged from high temperatures is the CPU. If a system overheats, it will either shut down, or it will take preventive measures to reduce the temperature. A Windows 10 system has different mechanisms in place to keep the system running cool.
