Question CPU unable to reach base clock speed when battery is not plugged into laptop

[GuyDude234]

This is probably an incredibly stupid question, but I'm stumped.

I recently just installed Windows 10 Iot LTSC on my thinkpad, but I cannot get the cpu to work at baseclock speeds(unless battery is plugged in). The CPU is a i7 3632QM. The base clock is 2.20ghz, but it is currently stuck at 1.19ghz. I've changed the power plan to high performance and restarted, but it just will not work any higher than 1.19 ghz, which is not at all ideal. However, when I plug the battery in, it will then work at its base clock. Really stumped on what settings I could possibly change to fix this, because I do not recall this being an issue before I reinstalled windows.

replace the cmos battery

replace the cmos battery

Is that the problem? Like I said, I don't think it was a problem before this windows install. Also, I did unplug and replug the cmos battery before reinstalling windows, since I did do a cpu change, and it has not had problems keeping settings in the bios?

Use ThrottleStop to disable BD PROCHOT. Post some screenshots if you need help.

It's pretty common for laptops to have lower display brightness and lower performance when on battery, that's how they get good numbers for their advertisements.
If there is any way to change it it will be in the bios.

Here's a screenshot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It currently did not work.

You misunderstand. It is giving lower performance when OFF battery. When battery is plugged in it has its normal performance. When battery is UNPLUGGED, it goes down.

When using ThrottleStop on a 3rd Gen processor, you have to check the Set Multiplier box. Try doing that and see if the speed goes up.

If you are still having problems, post screenshots of the TRL and TPL windows.
