How to Enable Maximum Processor Frequency in windows machines?

In windows 10 laptops we can reduce the battery consumption by limiting the processor frequency. Processor frequency means the operating frequency of the CPU’s core(s) in MHz. The higher the frequency is for a CPU, the faster the processor is. You can specify the approximate maximum frequency (in MHz) of your processor from within Windows 10 to limit the frequency if needed.

Why do we need to increase and decrease the Processor frequency?

If your laptop is running out of battery or if you are running a power-hungry application, if you want to save the battery you can use this method. It’s like a power-saving mode. Windows 10 has the option to increase the max processor frequency nowadays these settings are hidden by default and the processor frequency is set to the max by default. If you want to reduce the power consumption of the laptop you can reduce this processor frequency.

Steps to Enable Maximum Processor frequency Option:

• First of all the setting is hidden to enable this setting open run command and type regedit and hit enter.

Then follow the path mentioned bellow HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\75b0ae3f-bce0-45a7-8c89-c9611c25e100

If you want to reduce the processor frequency you can either enter the desired frequency rate of your processor. This will reduce the performance of the processor, due to the low rate processor performance the battery performance will increase. This is suitable only for those who work on typing work and doesn’t want that much processing capacity and also needs the highest battery performance.
