Amd Ryzen Hyperthreading disabled?

Hello, I just bought the new AMD Ryzen 1700 cpu, MSI B350 Gaming Pro Mobo, and a 32GB Kit of G.Skill Aegis.
OS is Windows 7.

As of right now I have No Idea why my Hyperthreading on my Ryzen cpu is Disabled. I Don't have any Overclocking right now, and It was working before (See attachment), I have tried a Cmos reset, but that hasn't fixed my problem.
Windows is set to High Performance and none of my cores are parked.

I have another drive that has My windows 10 OS and it also shows 8 cores with no hyperthreading.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it some sort of bug I happen to have?

Will Post Mobo Bios pics if you need them.

Well Hyper-Threading is Intel's technology, of course it is disabled on AMD

Ok, this is weird. There's not SMT option anywhere on the bios. (And it tends to freeze a lot gonna contact MSI on that.)
But I went ahead and cleared the cmos, this time taking out the battery. (I used the jumpers last time), and now SMT is enabled.

But anyway going to post Bios Pictures and let you guys have a look. (Phone camera so bare the quality)

That is good news at least.

I know this is true for my Motherboard, but if SMT ever disables, you have to clear BIOS to turn it back on.

 

It's been an issue since release.

Ok so this is just an on going occurrence that'll hopefully get fixed. I started to freak out a bit because I do a lot of Cad work, Modeling, After effects, Compile, Hex edit. All sorts of stuff.

ryzen "hyperthreading" is called SMT, look through your bios. 

I'm still calling it hyperthreading in my mind.  I'm not used to AMD having a CPU worth looking at, and I haven't learned all their alternative names.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Hyperthreading is Intel's proprietary branded SMT. Calling AMD's SMT "hyperthreading" is like calling all phones "iPhones".

I get HT and SMT mixed up. So used to saying HT because up until now Intel had their variant of SMT.

either check your BIOS and if it's not that then it might be the OS does ryzen officially support windows 7? cause it might be like kaby lake where it only supports windows 10 officially :/

Nah somehow it was clearing the cmos that fixed the Smt issue. Windows 7 isn't officially supported by amd, but I'm still able to use the OS. Right now SMT is on and I went ahead did a cinebench to see how It stacks up.

the best thing i can recommend is probably getting windows 10 or going to r/techsupport (tech support subreddit) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Perhaps under "CPU features" in your second picture? Or the "Downcore settings"?
