Because it's Xmas (well, was) I will let you in a little secret.
Run as admin a Powershell and Just add those three commands (one after the other):
- powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 7f2f5cfa-f10c-4823-b5e1-e93ae85f46b5 -ATTRIB_HIDE
- powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 93b8b6dc-0698-4d1c-9ee4-0644e900c85d -ATTRIB_HIDE
- powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR bae08b81-2d5e-4688-ad6a-13243356654b -ATTRIB_HIDE
Now if you go to Powerplan there will be some additional options in the processor status settings, and make sure that:
- Heterogeneous policy is applied - set to 0 heterogeneous chain
- Scheduling policy - prefer high-performance processors
- Scheduling policy for heterogeneous short-term communication is to prefer high-performance processors
It's a myth that Windows 10 doesn't support hybrid architecture. Before Alder Lake there was Intel Lakefield ( heterogeneous multi-core 1x Sunny Cove big core 4x Tremont small cores) and Windows 10 supported it just fine. What the change does, is to expose the hybrid architecture settings to the user and then tweak it to best match what Windows 11 does out of the box.
The above is only for people that have 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs with P cores and E cores and it should not be used if you don't have such a CPU.
Give it a try and see
If however, you choose to go to 11, as
@RedDove said, most if not all Windows 11 from here, will work as they have this by default.
