Windows only showing 1 core on dual core

>>304263
is it a laptop? You might hve some bloatware with some power-saving feature, try changing the power option to high performance.

Or try to go to your boot settings
Open run
type msconfig
boot tab
advanced options
see if the check mark to select number of processors is checked, if so, uncheck it, aplly all changes, reboot and see if that solves the problem

>>304268
no its a desktop I built a bit ago, ill try that in a sec

>>304268
it was unchecked so I checked it and set it to two, i restarted and it stil only shows 1 core.

bump pls help

>a single core with 2 thread instead of a dual core with 4 threads
afraid that cpu is neither of those options, its a 2 core 2 threads

was about to sugest >>304268 but failing that im inclined to say it must be a display/ui bug
use cpu-z and run some cpu benchmarks, if all checks out as a true dual core cpu (as it should) disregard it (task manager isnt always right, specially on more recent cpus)

No, that's correct: A6-7400K is one core, two threads.

You're simply wrong about this. AMD calls their hyperthreaded contexts full cores, but they aren't; Windows is reporting the single hyperthreaded core correctly.
