I have a problem with my HP Pavilion - 15-ec1018nl notebook, often the CPU performance drops drastically to 0.39 GHz when plugged in, it returns to normal when on battery, as if it goes into protection... I tried downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 and it worked for a while but now it's back to the way it was, what can I do?

Hi @rob608
first check if you have updated the BIOS, second check if this happens at high temperatures.

Enter the BIOS, on entry press the F5 or F9 key to load the BIOS defaults, then press F10 to save and exit. I have no other recommendation to make for this issue,
