Laptop lags as hell!!!!!!! :-/

When I keep my laptop unplugged the laptop is terrifically slow. And the CPU speed is weirdly low (0.40GHz) even though the Max Processor state is set to 100% & battery saver turned off. I was just using chrome ( 1 tab open and that was youtube ). Putting back to the charger fixes everything, but I can't really have my charger all the time. Everything on the screen feels like 20-30Hz.... even the letters I type take time to come up on the screen.

You said the max processor state is set to 100%, but what about the minimum? My bet is that it is set to 5% which is what causes the underclocking to happen. Go to the power plan and put in 100% for both minimum and maximum processor state while on battery. Issue should be resolved. If it isn't sometimes laptops have power saving settings in the BIOS as well. Might be worth checking in there as well.

Yeah, by default it is set to 5%. I did increase it to max and now it's all fine. Temps are high but not that much on battery. Thankss ❤️
