Hi everyone,

I know this may seem  like a dumb question, but how can I tell if hyperthreading is enabled on my laptop?

I know task manager is supposed to show you the number of cores, and then double that if you have hyperthreading enabled or not. But when I check, it just shows one large CPU utilization graph. Unless that's how it's supposed to look? 

Any help I can get is much appreciated!

Right click on the CPU graph and choose the option "show processors by cores" (or logical cores, or threads or something, there are only 2 choices, it's the 1st one) 

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
