How to disable CPU core parking in Windows 11

Learn how to disable CPU core parking in Windows 11. In this example, I show you how to identify if your CPU cores are being parked, and how to use the registry to modify a key to stop them going into a parked state.

Absolutely brilliant, sir! When one Googles core parking, it seems every website that comes up tries to hawk a special utility program to accomplish this instead of simply detailing the easy Registry editing steps illustrated in your video. Thank you - works perfectly!

worked. went from almost all cores being parked "even on ultra performance plan" to no cores being parked. thanks.

OMG!!! you saved my laptop for playing audio! I thought it was direct x or my nvidea driver. Was about to revert back to Windows10. You need to share this on all the audio/ DJ platforms. This was an amazingly simple fix!!!! Other sites are vague n don't work for disabling parking. Latencymon is all in the green now! Thank you so much!

This fixed my DCS stuttering with my Tobii Tracker 5. Every 5 seconds or so it would stop pause the tracking which is very annoying. Thank you!

Best video regarding this topic out there ! Thank you, I used this to unpark my cores a while back and now a few months later managed to find you again <3

Thank you so much for the video!! I was having a LOT of screen lagging while playing DCS and not its non existent. Have an amazing day!

It helps me to make my laptop faster. Thanks a lot. You are just on topics no extra talk. Its amazing. Keep your good work

I just wanted to add, this may help out with latency issues running programs and such, but it does absolutely nothing for performance other than that. I just ran temperature and performance testing both parked and unparked and the CPU testing parked actually scored slightly higher than unparked. Also, the temperature was better parked, which was to be expected. I would say for most users, they should not do this. Although, thank you for providing the information on how to if you really need to.

WOW this realy helps like crazy... i was going crazy.. build a new pc . with my Music DAW studio one 6 pro .. drop out like crazy CPU spikes. with these settings no more drop out.. and latency is close to zero now.(2.5 milisec).. OMG wat a big change .. Thanks Big thmbs up

[Naner]

holy shit i had like 3 cores being used and now all of my cores are being used, tysm

looking for this solution, just found it here and worked! Thank you!

For me it is actually backwards on Windows 10. If you read the FriendlyName for both dec35c318584 and dec35c318583, you will see that it's saying what's the minimum number of unparked cores allowed in percentage. Minimum unparked cores. If you set the max value to 0, you're saying the value of this setting can't be anything higher than 0%. As in... none of your cores can be unparked. It doesn't really make sense. So what I did was changed the Attributes value from 1 to 0, which gets the setting to show in the battery power settings. Leave the max value for both dec35c318584 and dec35c318583 as 100. In the power config, set the value for both settings to 100. For me, it's actually the dec35c318584 (PEC 1) which makes a difference.

Wow dude I was getting slight stuttering in almost every game on my RTX 4070ti & i5 13600k this solved the problem! Really surprised it worked, usually when I try stuff like this it never works lol

[ccnduky]

In my case, I needed to switch the ValueMax and ValueMin to 100 in order for all the cores to be unparked. This is coherent with the description saying that this parameter defines the minimum amount (By percentage) of unparked cores.

A gem of a video! My question is can I enable CPU parking on certain power-plans and disable it on certain ones? Need to balance between silence and performance 😅. Help would be greatly appreciated.

[MaBG]

WTF DUDE, it worked on my laptop with elden ring, additionally, other games work better!! THANK YOU VERY

[jd]

thank you! apparently the mini pc i bought um790 pro suffers so many random restarts due to some flaw, but some people say to disable c6 state should prevent this. hope this prevents anymore random restarts!

[johnwicks]

Will this affect the computer in any way, heat related or longevity? Sorry, not very tech savvy. This worked perfectly for me in fixing a major stuttering issue in a flight simulator I play. I just want to make sure it’s not causing a problem for the system as a whole. Thanks.

[zorkadoo]

Hey, seems like you forgot to paste the registry key in the description. Otherwise a great, concise, to the point video!

[klausostermann]

Thank you so much for this helpfull video!
In my case, it was an Intel 13th Gen 13700K CPU throttling down and staying parked with multiple cores, causing heavy problems - stuttering noises, heavy latency problems, very long load times of applications, till to sometimes BSOD! Disabling core parking solved my issues.
I can not get it, why the heck did they create this awfull function? Its sabotage, at least!
