HP Elitebook 745 G2
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

My HP Elitebook 745 G2 is running extremely slow lately (after update on 2018-06-13). The CPU is running on 100% most of the time. In my attempts to solve this problem I found the following strange thing:

 

In the device manager of Win10 65-bit I see that I have the folowing driver for the processor: AMD A10 PRO-7350B R6

version: 10.0.17134.1  2009-04-21 manufacturer Microsoft and not AMD as I would expect.

 

From 2009.... But My laptop is from 2016.

The CPU cannot be that old, can it?

What does other have there?

 

I tried installing several packages from HP website & support assistant & AMD update tool & microsoft update, none effect the 2009 driver.

Can someone explain to me what is going on? Or how this works?

Sort of, you should go and check out the following thread:

 

Probook 455 G4 and Microsoft June Cumulative Update (KB4284835) - Internet performance tanked

 

 

Summary:

Microsoft has acknoledged the problem and is working with AMD on a solution.

It has something to do with Spectre hack protection, which can be checked with a tool.

The temporary solution is to change two register entries to the following:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

 

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

Was there ever a resolution found for this issue. I seem to be having issues with high CPU usage ever since i upgraded to Windows 10.
