I have created this simple yet useful information.


Mistakenly, we believe that Microsoft by default utilizes all cores of your processor after a successful
installation of OS. But were not!
With due respect to the company, maybe they are thinking to give this process to the end users.
And this process can be done by following the step by step image shown below:

1. Go to run > Type "mscon g" and enter. ( Do not include the quote )

2. Click the "Boot" tab

3. Click the "Advance options" button

4. You will see "Boot Advance Option" window. From here you can evaluate how many cores in your
processor.
And by clicking the:

1. box of "number of processors"


2. by clicking the arrow down
3. the "maximum memory" must be leave blank if you have no PCI/PCIe video card installed
4. click OK

5. Click apply button, then click OK

6. Click "Restart"

7. And it's dpne!

Thanks for visiting this tutorials.


May this tutorials shade light.

Does the No.of.Processor Refers to Logical Procesor or the Cores ?

Thanks for Info !

allow me by saying this ...


A single physical CPU core with hyper-threading appears as two logical CPUs to an operating system. The CPU
is still a single CPU, so it’s a little bit of a cheat. While the operating system sees two CPUs for each core, the
1
 H
actual CPU hardware only has a single set of execution resources for each core. The 
CPU  
pretends 
it has 
more
cores than it does, and it uses its own logic to speed up program execution. In other words, the operating
system is tricked into seeing two CPUs for each actual CPU core.

Hyper-threading allows the two logical CPU cores to share physical execution resources. This can speed things
up somewhat—if one virtual CPU is stalled and waiting, the other virtual CPU can borrow its execution
resources. Hyper-threading can help speed your system up, but it’s nowhere near as good as having actual
additional cores.

A dual-core CPU literally has two central processing units on the CPU chip. A quad-core CPU has four central
processing units, an octa-core CPU has eight central processing units ...

it depends... 1. if you are not using PCI/PCIe video card, unchecking the maximum memory is good. 2. still
good unchecking maximum memory even you have external video card, however, you are not using it to the
maximum level theoretically. making it comeback to 256? well, only your system will tell. but one thing for
sure, your system will doing good.

Hey Victor, nice post but sadly it is s not entirely right. I don't mean it's your fault but rather its the fault of
whoever published it many years ago (I think at the start of Windows 7) and the myth keeps going on but its a
myth nevertheless. If I remember correctly, it was rst introduced with Windows XP or NT 4 and was as a
switch /numproc=number for us oldtimers.

The option has the reverse e ect. The option is there in case a user needs to LIMIT the CPU cores. For
example, in the past, at the time of the rst dual/quad-cores (anyone remembers Pentium D, AMD X2 and
Core duo/quad?) some systems had issues during boot to recognize all cores or there were cases that a core
was malfunctioning, and so the option was there to LIMIT the cores for debugging reasons and allow users to
test if cores and/or motherboard had issues during boot.

Another uno cial use of this option was for programmers to simulate how a program would run on a
"slower" PC, without having to buy a new one. Set cores to 1 and it will feel like its an old Pentium.

Sometimes it's used in Virtual machine setups when we want to make sure we enforce No of Cores per VM
despite VM setup.

The misconception comes for the fact that when it's unchecked, the number in the box may default to 1 but
since it's grayed out, that means the OS will autodetect and use the max No of cores unless there is an issue,
regardless of what the box shows. "1" is just the rst option which is normally greyed out.

To verify it yourself, set the cores to 1 and reboot, you will see in performance monitor that it says sockets 1,
cores 1, logical processors 1. Now set to auto and you will see that it states the max cores/threads. Set it

manually to max value and you will see the same as in auto.

Some food for thought. Would we really want the OS to use all cores even if it was possible? I would much
rather have the apps/games use the cores than the OS. Microsoft knows that too so most of the time the OS
will use 1 core for its needs (most of the time core 0) that after all, and besides the boot process, OS doesn't
have many things to do, and so leave most CPU resources for applications and games.

In my opinion, it's best to be left unchecked and let the OS handle it unless someone detects an issue with the
No of cores its system reports or has boot issues related to CPU errors.

Again, this has nothing to do with you Victor, and thank you for the post, but I do think that the internet is full
of bad info, and we need to correct those when we can.

Ok, it might be myth.. I may agree for some reason. What rst comes to my mind was this, why would MS
include that in the mscon g (mscon guration)? Maybe for some reason also, because of many reason that
nobody prove it wrong. MS on the other hand, never had denied nor con rm this so called myth. coz the fact
that is con guration to make the system works. I've been doing this for a long time. And never had any
problem. The fact, it makes my pc responded very accurately on time. Most of my works involved multi
tasking. I had imagine, direct downloading, torrenting,, open a lot of site in my browser.. while working on
excel and word ,, listening music that is done on a core2duo machine. Not only that, I still have a lot of
stu working on the background. Themes, animated desktop and a lot more... Also imagine a machine
that is not suppose to run a windows 10 but it runs smoothly.

Mscon g is a utility to troubleshoot so if you think about it, all the options are there to help you solve
potential windows problems and that's why you have the diagnostic startup and the ability to disable services,
limit cores and ram among other things. A lot of things are left for compatibility reasons too. As an example
2005 MS SQL server won't run on multicore systems unless the CPU option is used or SQL is patched.

Ok, let's see what other users/experts have to say. You can google it yourself too.

That's just from Google page 1. Thousands of answers saying it's to LIMIT the CPU count. If anything you will
not nd a test that proves it speeds up anything, only some users under the placebo e ect that say it works
without proof.

Don't take my word tho, let's do our own test to con rm and verify. After al its PCs and numbers and
everything can be tested/proved.

Step 1 Set it to default (no selection), restart, and check the core count via task manager/performance tab.
Step 2 Set it to 1 CPU and restart and check the core count again in the task manager, you will see 1 only
(which means it works)
Step 3 Set the value to your max CPU allowed (di erent for each user) and restart.
You should (will) notice that step 1 and step 3 have the same core/logical CPUs in the task manager. Did the
test myself on a 2c/4t Intel and a 32c/64t AMD.

Of course, you won't have any problems. Having it unticked is the same as having it maxed out as shown on
the above test which was my point that it doesn't speed things up and its a myth.

Core duo is an ok CPU for windows 10, I have a Core duo PC around that I use as an MMO bot (I know, shame)
and it does well with windows LTSB but that has nothing to do with the CPU limit option.

On my main, I too use multitasking both casually and professionally. Right now my main PC runs 8 Core
dedicated python Vm for AI project while 8 more cores are dedicated to video editing/rendering while I play
ESO using 2 more in windows mode and use VDI as internet gateway through a 4 core intel PC. There are
often cases that I have 4 Vms concurrently doing tasks/tests while playing games waiting for results to nish. I
never needed to check the core count in MSCon g.

Even if you logically think about it, 50.000 Windows users here and a few of them, expert
programmers/modders/power-users, and a couple of billion around the world using windows, are we
all working with 1 core all this time and didn't notice it?

hahaha,, my friend let me ask you with that reference persons of yours. Please tell them also this. Why MS put
that part in the mscon g? Granting that part became useless as what you and that persons have said. Do you
think MS put such option to minimize the performance? Where in fact, everybody is concern of machine
maximum performance. One said, by default MS maximised the use of the cpu or processor. Granting that is
true, again, why MS put that part in the mscon g if by default then it was maximise?! Hope you also consider
that point of view. One thing I don't like this world, many people pushed what they believe is true, but failed
to prove or show what is wrong and what is right. Last thing, I agree with you that mscon g is a utility for
troubleshooting. Have you tried troubleshooting using that part of the mscon g? If yes, what type of
troubleshooting?

First of all, I think you are taking this personally and you really shouldn't. As I said this is not against you. I
hope I'm wrong.

...my friend let me ask you with that reference persons of yours. Please tell them also this...

Those people are not people I know from somewhere to go ask them (I hope you don't think that), its random
answers, that were given in various technical forums, about what that CPU option does. Pay attention to
details, please. I said I found them by searching in google for answeres on the subject and I just copy-pasted
their answer as proof. Do you have any tests and proof to show that this is working? Did you do any kind of
research to see if what you claim is right?

Victor24 said: 

maximum performance

I already answered and so did Microsfot and so did a LOT of other people. It was put there for testing and
debugging and not to reduce performance. Let me now ask you this, What does seem more logical? That
Windows have a "secret switch", that can make windows run faster (2x or 4x or 8x) and MS doesn't have it on
by default but rather hides it to make windows slower? Or that the CPU option, is there for testing reasons?

...Granting that is true, again, why MS put that part in the mscon g if by default then it was maximise?!...

I answered that too but here goes one more. MSCONFIG is a troubleshooting utility, which means it's used
when the PC has issues to help us locate and x it. Don't take my word for it tho...

Keywords: Boot parameters and troubleshooting. Especially with older software or even older
motherboards/CPUs, Limiting Cores and Memory size is among the troubleshooting techniques. So yes, it's by
default to use all cores and you use the option to Limit the cores. The opposite doesn't make sense.

Victor24 said: 

Have you tried troubleshooting using that part of the mscon g? If yes, what type of troubleshooting?

I can recall 2 cases but there were probably a few more. One was back at the Windows XP / 2k times with a
dual CPU (Xeons). The Mobo drivers were buggy and by disabling the Cores at the OS level we would gure
out it was booting with 1 CPU and not with 2. We updated the Mobo Drivers and the problem was xed.

Second and more "fresh" we debugged a task scheduler issue on AMD Threadripper/EPYC CPUs and Windows
10 Pro/Ent/LTSC (was part of my job to validate/test bench) by limiting the Core Numbers. We saw that in
older windows 10 1803 and before, the task scheduler would do an excessive amount of unnecessary task
switching between OS and Applications on Core 0 whenever we had more than 32 cores/64 Threads
(sometimes even above 16c/32t) and would slow down the CPU by about 20 to 50% depending on the task, as
it had to keep ushing the caches and keep context switching excessively, something that MS xed later in an
update in 1809 and again in 1903. This behavior was not evident on Linux which showed us it was a windows
problem and not a CPU problem.

To close this as there is nothing more to add (it looks like we are talking about the same things) tho I do
respect other people's opinions you have to understand that when it comes to PC and numbers it's often not
about opinions but about facts and proofs. It's not a matter of opinion how much is 1+1. It's always 2 no
matter who is saying it.

I showed you a way to test it yourself on your PC but I believe you didn't even try it. So now is your turn. Do
you have any proof that when NOT ticked, Windows limits itself to 1 core as you said on your post?

Victor24 said: 

Mistakenly, we believe that Microsoft by default utilizes all cores of your processor after a successful installation of OS.
But were not!

Here is my screenshot with 32 cores and the option NOT ticked. if you were right not me or ANYONE in this
forum should see more than 1 core.

Again Victor I will repeat it once more, this is NOT against you so please don't take it personally. It only has to
do with facts and truth and nothing more. If you need additional details you can always PM me and will be
glad to talk in-depth about it.
