Intel i7-8550U, running Intel XTU Benchmark I get the error message/notice "benchmark score may not be valid since power source has changed" when I test my laptop (plugged in) for bench scores. I'm not changing anything like the power source, it is constantly plugged in and I would like to know why I get this message.

Hello WBern2,
Thank you for posting on the Intel® Communities.
The Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) is only supported for Intel® unlocked processors, the error message you are getting is related to this. You can use it to monitor your information, but when running tests it will not provide accurate results.
