I'm comming with popular problem.
CPU holds to the highest available frequency and don't want drop even on idle.
To summ up. Recently I realised that my cpu isn't dropping from 2.79~2.75GhZ (I capped it like that in power plan settings long ago coz didn't needed 3.2 nominal one)

Normal behavior was stepping down and up depends of actuall system needs. But now it stays all time high no matter what.
BUT this does not apply to Power Saving plan option.
This one works as intended
Any other (Balanced or Performance plan) are stuck with this problem.
Things I tried:
- Bring default power plan settings (In general power plan settings and in advanced option tab)
- Changing power plans / creating new ones
- Changing minimum cpu state (was always at 0% but tested with 5% in case when system would have problem with this value)
- Update BIOS (there was available update)
- Reset Bios to default settings
- Manufacturer addons (Mobo manufacturer have apps Like System Information Viewer + Speed Fan and Easy Tune app to control settings related to CPU. Done reset to default and uninstall all)
- Run Windows in Save Mode
Done that without access to web option, the same behavior so 3rd apps aren't problem I think
Things you ask:
- Look in process tab, what have most % usage
Nothing, mostly spotify 2% or my java program around 10-20 If I run it.
- Do you have telemetry / windows index task running in background?
No. All are blocked / disabled
- Updated Windows recently?
No. Version 10.0.19045 Compilation 19045
- Tried updating Windows?
No. New environment changes will only disturb. Also I do not need updates. PC works stable so no need to change that.
- What recently changed on system that could cause problems?
Well actually there is something
I saw in Event Viewer that system is spiting tons of ESENT related errors.
455 and 413. I found out that it's a folder permission problem, so I fixed perms. Errors vanished. Beside this I have many other stuff showing there.
Can share logs If it's safe to do.
Beside this, only other thing that changed was GPU
From my old Radeon HD 5550 to RX 570 along with drivers update.
I DDU previous one and installed new.
Done also after DDU of them and installed again but nothing changed.
Any help is appreciated
