Although not every user will actively monitor the use of hardware resources when playing games, enthusiasts and critics often open statistics to see how some games and other applications are processed by hardware. In such a test run, capframex, a useful frame time analysis tool, was developed. When measuring the performance of ryzen 7 5800x3d on sottr, a strange exception was noticed.
In a scenario where the game is running, windows 11 the processor utilization reported on build 22621 seems unusually low, and this scenario is usually quite stressful for the CPU. Only one of the 16 threads seems to report correct usage, while all other threads are less than 10%.
Capframex noticed this problem, although it was not sure what caused it.
The core usage report on Windows 11 is completely incorrect. For the specific scenario and setting of sottr +, the normal situation should be & gt; 80%。 What happened? Have recent updates changed the behavior of processor occupancy monitoring?
Capframex provides a screenshot of the scene. Statistics are displayed on the screen using capframex's own tools and are attached with a snapshot of hwinfo displaying similar data. Although the error noted here may be a specific application problem, capframex insists that it continues to occur in all tested games.
It is worth noting that capframex, and possibly hwinfo, are tracking mechanisms based on Windows event tracking (ETW). Therefore, it is possible that there is some error in ETW, resulting in this misreading.
After a quick search on Google, we found a topic on the Microsoft forum, and the user "Andreas res" reported a similar problem. In this case, we notice that the usage rate of task manager is very high, even reaching 100%, while Xbox Game bar and micro star motherboard utility Dragon Centre are much less used.
Although the post was launched last year, more users have recently joined in 2022 to report problems. The latest build 22621 beta is the main occasion for problems.
