Quick answer
How do I restore stock Quick CPU behavior?
Undo custom controls and return to an unchanged Windows power plan before evaluating any new tuning.
How to check this on your PC
- Capture screenshots of the current configuration
- Restore original Quick CPU values and select the previous Windows plan
- Restart, observe idle temperature and run one known-good short workload
How to confirm the result
Original settings and expected temperature should be visible again.
When comparing results, use the same power scheme, similar ambient temperature and a fixed workload. Save your starting values before experimenting so you can return to them.
BIOS or firmware overclocking changes require separate recovery.
