Recently receiving a new laptop, I saw it was running a bit hot and wanted to adjust the Processor power management options. However, in Advanced power options I found the CPU options which allow adjusting such things as Minimum processor state, Maximum processor state, and Cooling policy were missing.
Other options were missing too – PCI Express, USB settings, Intel graphics settings, and Multimedia settings, were all gone from the options.
Thankfully there is a very easy solution. It requires opening regedit and making a minor change. Even if you’ve never messed with regedit before, you should have no problem here.
While in Windows press the Windows key + R. Alternatively you can click the Start button.
Type “regedit”. This will open the registry editor.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
Double click CsEnabled and change the Value data from 1 to 0, and then click or tap OK.
Restart the laptop.
Check your Advanced power settings and you should see the full array of options restored.
Did this guide help you, didn’t work for you, have other ways of achieving turning on Processor power management? Comment below with what your laptop model is and let us know.

Processor Power Management Comment. My MS Surface Pro appears to have been getting hot and then shutting down. Team Know How at PC World tried three repairs, the last one being best after they had totally reinstalled Windows. However I just noticed in the Power Management Settings that the options for processor power management was just not there. And, this is Windows 10 Pro. So I tried your fix and hey presto it has brought back the power management options and some others too that are on my home PC, so all is well in this respect. I am just hoping now that after setting the recommended settings, the overheating problem will go away. Many thanks for your fix in the registry.

Spectre X360 15t 6 core here. Screen is at half brightness, laptop is on a hard, flat surface. Frigging fan RUNS CONSTANTLY. I have no CS option in the registry, I’ve tried everything I can think of, and nothing gets better. It’s the loudest, most obnoxious machine I’ve ever used.
Guessing it’s a design flaw, but still… I’d like to be able to slow my processors way the heck down to see if that will help.
Is there any other way?

Hi, download Throttlestop and try selecting “bd prochot”. The LCD brightness nothing to do with fan. You can try undervolting too. There are a couple of apps that might help. Try Throttlestop first. Also check in boot options for fan options.
