Hi @KindTouch,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand the manual boost feature on your OMEN by HP Transcend 16-inch Gaming Laptop (16-u1000) is not working, it could be due to software issues, configuration settings, or even hardware limitations. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check OMEN Gaming Hub Settings

• Open the OMEN Gaming Hub software.
• Navigate to the Performance Control or Manual Boost section.
• Ensure that manual boost is enabled and properly configured for your use case.
• Verify that the performance mode is set to "Performance" or "Turbo" mode, as manual boost might not work in power-saving modes.

2. Update OMEN Gaming Hub HP PCs - OMEN Gaming Hub

• Go to the Microsoft Store and check for updates for the OMEN Gaming Hub app.
• Install any available updates, as bugs in outdated versions could cause issues.

3. Check BIOS and Firmware 

• Ensure your BIOS is up-to-date. You can do this using:
  • HP Support Assistant: Look for any pending updates.
  • The HP website: Download and install the latest BIOS for your specific laptop model.

4. Update Graphics Drivers  Software and Drivers for OMEN Transcend Laptop 16-u1797ng (9P1U1EA)

• Download and install the latest drivers for your GPU from:
  • NVIDIA or AMD (depending on your graphics card).
  • Or use the HP Support Assistant to check for driver updates.

5. Reinstall OMEN Gaming Hub

• Uninstall OMEN Gaming Hub from your system.
• Download and reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.
• Launch it again and reconfigure the manual boost settings.

6. Check Fan and Hardware Status 

• Use the System Vitals feature in OMEN Gaming Hub to monitor hardware.
• If the fans aren’t ramping up when the boost is activated, it could indicate a hardware issue.

7. Power Settings and Performance Profile

• Make sure your laptop is plugged in, as manual boost might not function correctly on battery power.
• Set Windows performance mode to "High Performance":
  1. Go to Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings.
  2. Select High Performance or Best Performance.

8. Perform a System Reset (Optional)

• If none of the above steps work, consider resetting the OMEN Gaming Hub settings to default.
• Alternatively, reset your Windows performance settings to default.

9. Hardware Check HP PCs - Testing for hardware failures

• If the issue persists, there may be a hardware fault with the cooling system or the fan controller.
• Run the HP Diagnostics tool by restarting your laptop and pressing F2 during boot.
• Perform a hardware test to check for errors.
