Restore Intel dynamic platform and thermal framework settings

[ZenInc]

Brink, I used your tutorial to restore the min/max processor state settings in the advanced power options. I'm also missing the settings for the Intel dynamic platform and thermal framework, and wondering if you could provide the registry tweaks to restore those as well. Thanks!

Hello @ZenInc, and welcome to Eight Forums.

I don't seem to have that option in my registry or Power Options (like below) to test with. If you like, export the registry key below as a .reg file and upload it here. I'll be happy to take a look to see If I can spot it (if available), and post back with a .reg file that will add it to your Power Options.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings

Great, thank you--I'm attaching it here. There are a couple of places where I've added an "Attributes" dword with a value of 2, per others' recommendations, but that hasn't made any difference. And I found one place that already had an Attributes dword that was set to 1, and changed it to 2. Also no difference.

Ugh, the descriptions are in binary so I can't tell what each one is for.

Double check you laptop's driver download page at the manufacturer's site to see if they may have a "Intel dynamic platform and thermal framework driver" available. This could add it.

They do, and I've got the most up-to-date version running. So it seems the software is there and doing its job, I just have no way to access its settings. There are tons of people in various forums with this same issue, but nobody with any solutions that actually work. Oh well, thanks for trying!

 

[Brink]

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything out there either other than updating the driver.

Aha. I just realized that although I'd changed the Attributes dword value to 2 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\48df9d60-4f68-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66\07029cd8-4664-4698-95d8-43b2e9666596, the system changed it back to 1. And every time I change it, the system changes it back. I found a thread somewhere where the guy talked about changing it, then removing the system's permissions to change that key. I just did that, and now I have the options! Now to play with those and see what I can do...

 

[Brink]

Great news.

Haha yes! man this was driving me crazy. I still don't have the full battery of settings seen in that image you posted above, only the first one for Configure TDP level. But that's the one I really wanted, so that's fine. I'll take it!
