It only shows me 2 cores in task Manager when this is a quad core processor
I have already done the run msconfig stuff
and i disable c6 in bios and every single stuff Its only showing 2 cores but if i check cpu-z it says its a 4 core processor
In device manageri can see cpu0.1.2.3.
Does all 4 of my cores are running or is there anything i can do? PLs help and sorry for my bad english

Yeah thats displaying correctly. Thats how windows views these CPUS, as although it has 4 cores, its 2 modules, each pair of cores share resources, so having it as 4 logical cpus allows better load distribution between the shared resources.


Hyperthreading is intel tech, and nothing to do with this.
I am running Windows 10 Pro activated and in task Manager it says i have 2 cores and 4 logical processors! And can someone explain me how this Works and what is hyperthreating and does it do anything with this topic?
And what is logical processors? I find a lot of stuff about this but i am still not sure how this works

Oke first thanks for your fást and good answer secondly,"Thats how windows views these CPUS, as although it has 4 cores, its 2 modules, each pair of cores share resources, so having it as 4 logical cpus allows better load distribution between the shared resources." Does this affects my gaming experience or my fps stuff?
And should i turn back c6 on?
 


No it doesnt, its exactly how its meant to work. you can have c6 on, shouldnt matter to performance.
