Hi everyone. I discovered an issue with my Envy 15 Win10 laptop. I was trying to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 and I couldn't get the CPU speed to go past 0.8 GHz. This led to a lot of lag and audio stuttering. At first, I thought it was the game since a lot of users have had issues with PES (from 17 to 19, I think) in the past.
Then I opened game bar and it turns out the CPU speed is the issue. I monitored it for more than an hour and not once did it go above 0.9 GHz. Yes, I also switched to high-performance power mode and ran the game—no difference.
I also tried PES 17 and it was all smooth sailing until I switched to 1920x1080 (PC's native resolution) because the other res made the game blurry... again lag and stuttering.
Please help me out guys. Why is the CPU clock speed stuck at <1GHz even when running intensive games; PES 17 and 19, Watch Dogs 2 all have the same CPU ish, making them lag.
When I have an i7-4702MQ with a base clock of 2.2GHz? What am I missing?
