 For those of you who are using laptops with Windows 7 or Vista installed, you may be disappointed to find out the dual, quad or octal core processor you invested in isn't actually using all of the cores. That's right… out of the box these operating systems might not fully enable the distribution of processes over the cores for certain system configurations. For the most part, these configurations are limited to laptops.
The reason for disabling multiple cores really comes down to energy consumption. The default power profiles set forth by Microsoft opt for an energy savings based configuration, even…

In my registry the description for 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 reads that it is the Min and Maximum UNPARKED CPU's. If I set both ValueMax and Value Min to 0 they show up as parked, but when I change both Max and Min to 64 they do not show as Parked. Is my system backward?

Are there multiple entries for the 0cc5b647… etc… key? Sometimes there are four or five of them in the registry. All of them need to be changed to 0 and 0.
That is odd, and why I showed individuals how to check if they are parked. The MinValue and MaxValue are presets for determining when to unpark processor cores. In other words, when you reach x processor speed, unpark. If both are set to 0, unpark should occur at 0% processing power.
I would imagine it has something to do with your configuration. In either case, go with the configuration that unparks all of your processor cores. As to why it is occuring, it would be hard to determine without sitting in front of your computer and understanding exactly how your hardware is configured.

There are 2 entries only, but only one has ValueMax and ValueMin. The First one has a Description Entry that reads: "@%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-766,Specify the minimum number of unparked cores/packages allowed (in percentage" There is also a Friendly Name that reads "@%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-767,Processor performance core parking min cores."
Either way, if I set to "0" 3 cores get parked. If I set to 64, None are parked.

I did what you said, but I still have two CPU's parked. In the "regedit" it only shows these options
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
ACSetting Index REG_DWORD 0x0000000a(10)
DCSetting Index REG_DWORD 0x0000000a(10)
It shows not ValumMAX and ValueMIN

Hi… Back again, after re doing this process a few times. I was actually able to un park all my processors. :D I did everything you said up to the point where you said to set the valueMAX and valueMIN to (0)
After reading some of the comments you had on your forum. I took note that you said "Some people may have to set there values to (100)" I was actually one of those people.
So for any of you who have trouble, you should try that. But I also had trouble getting back to that valueMAX and valueMIN point. The way I was able to get back was by using ccleaner and cleaning EVERYTHING out. shutting it off and then powering up and doing the process. KEY NOTE
try to set valueMAX and valueMIN to (100) instead of (0)
Thank you again though to this guy for all your videos, it's a lot more helpful than googling "Performance" tips and only getting the usually shutting off eye candy. This was actually VERY in depth and informative. You my friend are awesome.
Thank you again.
P.S.
Please do more vid about Windows 7 on how to make it perform better, faster, and more efficient. I have a laptop. and I run an 8gb RAM with HDD 500 rpm. Core i3
HP Dv6t 2011 series.
I also found that "soluto" is a good program to help speed up boot time and shut down time. Using soluto helped me shave off 30+ seconds on boot time and shutdown time INCLUDING all your video steps. before your videos it was at 1:10 seconds, now its at 0:39 seconds. :D thanks once again.

These comments are the ones that keep me motivated. Thank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to let everyone know if they have issues to try your method.

Hello All,
Thank you for these posts! I too, like iCurtisBrowning had to set my values to 100% (or 64 hex) to "un-park" my odd numbered CPUs. I have an i7 quad-core w/HT and hadn't been able to unpark them for 2 days now. Thanks to you & "iCurtis", my 8 cores are now "unparked".
Thanks again!

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it. I was pretty ecstatic when I came across this tweak, it gave me a huge performance boost on my laptop.

Hi PCMichiana,
First of all thanks a lot for the great vids! I have taken all advice in to good use, or at least tried out the solutions. So far i have gotten to this vid nr 20 and did this one as well. I have a Fujitsu Amilo pi3660 dualcore laptop. I ran the taskmaster and none of my 2 processors were parked but decided to make the alteration so i wouldnt have parked processors in any case. had to change settings 2 times max value from 64 down to 0 then reboot.
My question really is, is it unharmfull to go back to the old settings by reversing the process and just making the maxvalue 64 again followed by a boot?
Again thx a lot I have learned a great deal from these vids so far, great work!
