CPU Parking is a low-power sleep state (C6) supported by most modern processors and operating systems. It dynamically disables CPU cores in an effort to conserve power when idle. Unfortunately, this power saving comes at a price: Latency when CPUs need unparked to execute code.
Initially, core parking was controlled entirely by the operating system. The aggressive core parking of Windows led to a great deal of inefficiency during bursting CPU loads. Intel moved core parking control onto the chip in the Skylake generation, and AMD followed, but still the parameters of the Windows power plans are set to aggressively park CPU cores. Even the default ‘High Performance’ power plan is not immune. The new ‘Ultra Performance’ power plan copies what Bitsum did with our own ‘Bitsum Highest Performance’ power plan and finally disables core parking entirely.
Below are the highlights for version 3.3.4.0. Some of the features are CPU dependent and wont be available in your version of the CPU. Added preliminary support for Intel Rocket Lake. Added harddrive Sensors for supported drives. Added per-core VID sensors for supported Intel CPU’s. Jan 02, 2021 Below are the highlights for version 3.3.4.0.

ParkControl (and Process Lasso) not only let one more easily configure CPU core parking and frequency scaling, but also allow for dynamic entrance into a higher performance power plan. For instance, with Process Lasso, you can automatically enter ‘Bitsum Highest Performance’ will you start a game, then go back to ‘Balanced’ when you exit.
ParkControl has Dynamic Boost to allow you to set active and idle power plans. Process Lasso has a similar feature with its IdleSaver.
Efficacy
Empirical evidence shows that disabling core parking can make a real difference in system performance. There are many factors that will determine precisely how efficacious it will be for any given system. However, generally, Windows is too aggressive in its core parking, resulting in excess latency during bursting CPU loads (the most common type).
How to Restore Defaults
Any changes you make with ParkControl are easily reverted. To restore the default power plan settings:
- Click ‘Power Options’ in the ParkControl app
- Select the Power Profile you modified
- Click ‘Restore default settings for this plan’
- Repeat for all modified power plans
Changing Parking Settings Using PowerCfg.exe
You can also change these settings via Window’s Powercfg.exe. You must run this utility with elevated rights, so be sure to open an elevated console window by right-clicking ‘cmd.exe’ and selecting ‘Run as Administrator’.
Note that these commands adjust the currently active power profile. You can adjust specific ones by using their GUID, or switching to them prior to running these commands.
First, backup ALL your Power Settings by creating a dump of everything to a TXT file. It is unlikely you will ever need this, but…
To mandate 50% of available cores always remain unparked, run:
To adjust it so that only 25% of available cores remain active at all times, allowing 75% of available cores to be parked, you’d run:
‘0’ <zero> indicates to park as many CPU cores as possible.
To enable maximum use of CPU Parking for the power profile you are currently using:
To disable CPU Parking completely for the power profile you are currently using, you’d want to run:
All the above configure core parking while the system is plugged into AC power. For DC (battery) power, core parking is usually forced, but to configure it you would instead use ‘-setdcvalueindex’.

APPLY New Settings, NOW!
After changing the power scheme settings for CPU Parking as desired, you then want to make the changes active by running the command:
With ParkControl, a reboot is NOT required for these changes to take effect – in contrast to direct registry edits or other core parking software.
After applying tweaks, check the Windows Resource Monitor (resmon.exe) and verify that CPU Parking is indeed as you intend.
The affinity of a thread will always be honored. If a thread is affinitized to parked cores only, it will be scheduled to one of the parked cores. On a clientmachine, most threads do not explicitly set an affinity and therefore run with an affinity including all processors in the system, allowing for frequent use ofcore parking. On servers where applications are more often finely tuned, threads may be affinitized to specific processors, which can reduce the effectiveness ofcore parking.
Additionally, on NUMA systems, the scheduler is free to override the core parking mask and schedule a thread to a parked core in its ideal node. This reducesthe performance impact of forcibly migrating threads away from its ideal node. If all processors in a node are parked and there are no available un-parked cores,the scheduler is free to run the thread on a parked core within the same node. Nehalem processors allow for entire processor sockets to be parked, whereas mostpre-Nehalem processors only allow individual cores to be parked. The state of individual parked cores can be observed in Resource Monitor when the CPU tab isselected ...
Core parking is a optimization, based on the observation in previous operating systems that you might have four cores running background processes at 10%utilization each. The idea is to load all of those tasks onto one core and let the others idle if operating load levels allow for it. Now, you can see howthese two features working together might have a significant impact on power, as ideal core prevents rabid thread migration, while core parking optimizesloading. Taken together, the pair intelligently maximizes the number of idle cores, and then keeps them from being spun up unnecessarily, yielding the theoreticalpower gains.
Especially mobile users benefit from core parking, while desktop users may benefit from it indirectly on their utility bill. For some multi-core processors,core parking is not enabled by default, and if you want to enable the feature you will be hard pressed to find any tools or information that allow you to dothat.
Core Parking is a new Windows kernel power manager and kernel scheduler technology that helps improve the energy efficiency of a system by dynamically scalingthe number of logical processors that are in use based on workload. Similar to how processor performance states help scale the performance of a single processor,Core Parking is designed to help scale the performance and energy efficiency across the set of logical processors in the system. When the Core Parking algorithmreduces the number of logical processors that are in use, it parks some of the logical processors in the system. The kernel scheduler correspondingly givespreference to unparked logical processors rather than parked logical processors when it schedules any non-affinitized threads. This lets the parked logicalprocessors become idle, which in turn lets the corresponding processor cores transition into a lower power idle state.
Core Parking is most effective on systems that have processor idle states with extremely low power consumption. When combined with ITTD, Core Parking helpsreduce the amount of interrupt activity on systems that run Hyper-V. On systems with processors that include Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, Core Parking isalso leveraged to help intelligently schedule work between threads that are running on multiple logical processors in the same processor core.
Why is we doing this?
The main reason is to reduce the consumption of power (electricity) and production of heat. Microsoft has realized that most of normal users do not need tohave all of their threads active for every day usage (including high graphic gaming), so by default they disabled it, however, Windows is able to enable theidle threads upon heavy usage, for example when compiling heavy codes or rendering heavy objects and then make them idle after the heavy usage. This is prettysafe and good since you will not produce a lot of heat and consume a lot of power and at the same time you will get benefit of the whole CPU power when needed.In a way parking CPU is earth friendly.
System Monitor II gadget will allow you to easily enable or disable coreparking for your CPU. The first thing that you should do is to go to a resource manager to check if you have parked cores. The reason of doing so is that coreparking is not enabled for all the multi-core CPU's. System Monitor II also can show you if you have parked cores.

Let me explain some settings.
As default you cannot see additional settings into power options
We can enables this settings, but for this we can change few registry keys.
Gadget do this, if you check Enable working with registry box. Of course, you can give permission by clicking yes
