I recently changed my Ryzen 7 1700 to have 4 cores but now I want to enable 8 cores on MSconfig but it doesnt give me the option of using 8 cores. So what can i possibly do to mediate that problem.

oh I figured it out, what I had to do was go to msconfig, then boot, then advanced settings, then uncheck number of processors, press ok, then apply which would prompt you to reset the system. Once I reset the pc, I went back to msconfig, then boot, then advanced settings, and then check number of processors which I found out that I can use my full amount of threads, then press ok, then finally press apply which would prompt me to reset the system. Once I reset the system, I can now use the 16 threads and 8 cores.
