AMD A10 PRO-7350B R6 driver from 2009 in Laptop from 2016

[JohnClicquot]

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?

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.

Computer Model: HP Elitebook 755 G2

APU: AMD A10 PRO-7350B R6

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
