I have a 2012 HP Z800 workstation I'm using as a desktop and was having issues with low performance and software stability with the original OS I installed Windows 10 Home. I bought a key for Windows 10 Pro(at Kinguin) which unfortunately wasn't certified for upgrading so I did a new install of Windows 10 Pro over the Windows 10 Home. Microsoft apparently didn't like that and the new OS wasn't activated until I went through their troubleshooter and eventually got Windows 10 Pro activated.
When first installed yesterday Windows 10 Pro recognized both CPU sockets and all 8 cores. Performance was excellent with CPU use low. Windows updated when I turned my system on today with a large update and now I'm back to the same state I was before the update for the CPUs at least. Only one CPU socket is recognized and only 2 cores from that 1 CPU.
2 CPUs are selected in msconfig, is there anything I can do to get Windows 10 Pro which saw both CPU sockets and processors on the motherboard yesterday to see them again. I did a restart and that didn't resolve the issue.
I checked and Windows 10 Pro is still indicated as the installed OS, so it didn't reset back to Windows 10 Home somehow during the update. And Windows 10 Pro is still activated.
thanks.
