You need to disable connected standby(InstantGo)



Just run Regedit


HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CsEnabled


Change it from 1 to 0

Thanks! I try again tonight when I get home. Many thanks!!!

Folks, how do you adjust CPU speed to 50%? It used to be under Power Options but now it's not there. Did a quick search and found that this feature is hidden in Windows 8.1. I've disabled Hyper-V and it's still not there. Suggestions?

Have you try the above step? Seems like this was the step that i missed after i disable Hyper-V. I'm at work so i'll try the above tonight and report back. If you have your SP3 now, try it and let us know the result :)

Thanks. The above step deals with InstantGo which is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the following function which is now "hidden" in 8.1

Manage Processor Usage for Optimum Power Management in Windows 7 | 8



The step is for disabling InstantGo because if you have InstantGo on, you won't have that power management stuff..

That power management stuff isn't now "hidden" in 8.1 but only when InstantGo is on. So if you want it, you have to disable InstantGo..


There are 8 fingers, stop looking at the problem and look further away for the solution...

Hi Picagen, sorry to bother you again.

Tried your instruction and I got all e hidden options to appear. However, under Processor Power Management, I only have System Cooling Policy. Can't seem to get e Min Processor State or Max Processor State to appear. Could I have miss some other steps? :(

Did you uninstall Hyper-V ? also Visual Studio would install Hyper-V too..

Hyper-V on will make the processor unable to drop down below its base freq (the i5-4300U would stay at 1.9GHz all the time, instead of going down to 0.78GHz when idle)

Install VS without the Windows Phone stuff, no hyper-v :)...that's what I did.
