"Processor performance boost mode"

[Cerverous]

I have an Omen laptop, it used to show an option in the advanced power plan settings called "processor performance improvement mode" which I used frequently but it no longer appears, was it removed forever? What other option can I use?

Thank you

Hi @Cerverous,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

The "Processor Performance Boost Mode" (PPBM) option in Windows power settings is related to how your CPU dynamically adjusts its clock speed for better performance or energy efficiency. It seems to have been removed from Windows 11 and later versions of Windows 10 updates.

 

Microsoft has been streamlining power settings, and recent updates may have hidden or removed this setting from the Advanced Power Options menu. However, you can still enable or disable it manually via the Registry Editor or PowerCfg commands.

Alternative Ways to Control CPU Performance Boost

1. Bring Back "Processor Performance Boost Mode"

Via Registry Editor

1. Open Registry Editor (Win + R, type regedit, press Enter).
2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
3. Look for the subfolder PowerSettings → 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00
4. Find the key "Attributes", double-click, and change the value to 2.
5. Restart your laptop and check Advanced Power Settings again.

2. Use "PowerCfg" Command to Enable It

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Run the following command: powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00 -ATTRIB_HIDE
3. Restart your PC and check if the setting returns.

3. Use BIOS/UEFI Settings

• Some HP Omen laptops allow you to enable/disable Intel Turbo Boost or AMD Precision Boost in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
• Restart your laptop → Press F10 (or Esc, then F10) to enter BIOS.
• Look for Processor Boost or Performance Mode under Advanced Settings.

4. Use Windows Power Plans

If the setting is gone, you can still control CPU behavior using Windows power plans:

• Balanced Mode (default, medium performance)
• Best Performance Mode (high CPU usage)
• Battery Saver (low CPU usage)

How to adjust it manually:

1. Go to Control Panel → Power Options.
2. Select High Performance or Balanced.
3. Click Change plan settings → Change advanced power settings.
4. Under Processor power management, adjust Maximum processor state:
   • 100% = Full boost
   • 99% = Turbo Boost disabled
   • 50%-80% = Power-saving mode
