N100 Sluggish Win11 Bug

[DDragon]

Hello, I recently bought a laptop with the Intel N100 processor, on Windows 11 it tends to sit around 0.80Ghz, it'll spike randomly up to full speed but most of the time sits down low, 0.8Ghz-1.3Ghz even under load. On Linux it goes full throttle 3Ghz sustained during load.

I've updated Windows 11 fully, download CPU drivers from Intel (which is masquerading as GPU drivers) and nothing has fixed it, I've tweaked the performance settings in power options, even found some online guides to tweak the registry. Nothing has helped. I've found Reddit users who have the same issue, Windows runs it sluggish while Linux runs it fine. There's no thermal problem it runs at 67C, so it's not a thermal protection. This laptop has no power user options in Bios, just basic Secure Boot and Boot priority.

I wanted to report this as a bug to Intel, but it's near impossible to find support/tech contact for companies these days (it's as if they are hiding and don't want to deal with their end users)

If anyone knows of a kernel trick, hex editing trick, driver or otherwise a means to make Microsoft actually use the CPU I would LOVE to hear it. Otherwise I'm stuck with Linux which is a great OS but not my favorite OS.

Many thanks and much gratitude.

I think I know the cause of the performance drop, the cause is Intel dynamic tuning technology telemetry service atau windows 11 service, it is better to uninstall all drivers related to dynamic tuning in device manager such as Intel Innovation and others. Then install each driver manually through the folder, not through the Windows batch installer because if it is done through the batch then Intel dynamic tuning technology telemetry will also be installed, and that is what causes the performance to drop significantly, Intel N100 ends up running at a base clock of 800mhz. whereas if you manually install each device that changes to unknown to the folder containing the Intel dynamic tuning driver folder then the Intel dynamic tuning driver that has telemetry will not be installed. So Intel dynamic tuning continues to run without performance dropping.. and we don't need to disable dynamic tuning...
