Counter for (Processor Performance > PPM Processor Frequency) or (Processor Information > Processor Frequency) Stuck at 2, 900 on Windows11 Ryzen 4000H mobile cpu. Was wondering if there was a way to read real time Processor core Frequency/Clock in GHZ/MHZ but the value stays the same at 2, 900. also similar case in registry ~MHz = 2895. Is there anyway to update counters or am i doing something wrong?
