I don't seem to have those options and I've followed a few things online to try and get it back but none seem to be working? Maybe something to do with me being on Windows 10 Education or something to do with Lenovo removing different power options?

Doesn't seem like anything has been added or changed in terms of power options in the bios or nvidia. And no the performance is poor even when the laptop is plugged in. And the thermals is confusing me as afterburner says theres the system is being thermally limited but Hard Ware monitor says its a utilisation limitation. Also if it was due to thermals would I not see the frequency fall to something below 3GHz as the base is 1GHz with a boost up to 3.6GHz?

Hey guys, I recently made a post about having bad performance in Gears 4 however I've realised this problem seems to be across my whole laptop. Since doing a BIOS update the performance of my CPU has gone down and meaning my laptops performance in games has gone down dramatically. Using Hard Ware Monitor I can see that the CPU is reaching its normal frequency around 3.2-3.5 GHz but is reaching high temperatures around 75-85c on all the cores and both Hard Ware Monitor and MSI Afterburner show that the CPU utilisation is not maxed out, not seeing a core use more than about 65% utilisation but my framerates have basically halved. I know its the CPU limiting the framerate as the GPU utilisation is also low and the in built benchmark for Gears 4 shows that the CPU is the part limiting performance. What I've done so far to try and fix this problem was update windows, update all my drivers using the Lenovo Vantage software and uninstalling my graphics card drivers in device manager and then reinstalling them again using Nvidia Geforce Experience. I have also gone back to the BIOS version I was using before I was having problems however this has also not solved the problem. I'm not sure if this is related but I've also noticed that for about 10 minutes after I boot into windows my CPU usage is at 100% by 'system' in task manager which I found out was coming from intelppm.sys which seems to be some intel power management thing. It's worth noting that my performance in games is still bad even after this stops. It's probably also worth mentioning that this laptop is only a couple of months old so I don't think it would be a thermal paste issue and the fan seems to be working all okay. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated and feel free to ask questions. I have included my laptops specs below and the windows version.

Hey guys, Been having trouble with super bad CPU performance in Gears of War 4 and was wondering if anyone can recommend anything to try and fix it. Had previously played the game for about 3 hours over the past couple of days with no issues and able to play at around 30-40 fps with medium - high settings and being bottle necked by the GPU. However when playing today I noticed the fps was awful like dips to below 20. So I put everything to the lowest settings and still the same. Doing an in game benchmark I notice that the CPU [render] was the bottleneck and seems to be much lower than the CPU [game] (Not sure what the different to these are). I also ran afterburner during the benchmark and didn't see any of the cores for the cpu go above 70% and most were sitting at about 50% with the gpu usage also at about 50% for the whole run. I've tried a few other games and they all appear to be working normally. I have recently done a bios update for my laptop but have played the game after this before and it was fine and can't think of any other changes that I have done since the last time I played the game. Might also be worth mentioning that I'm playing this on Game Pass which I understand is still in Beta. I've tried the old turn her off and on again a few times with no luck and want to try and avoid uninstalling and reinstalling as the game is like 100gb+ and with my internet took an age to download. I've attached an image of the benchmark for more information including some of my system specs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and please do ask if you want further information on anything or I've done anything wrong as this is my first time using the forum. Thanks!
