Does this thread describe a different problem to the undermentioned?
This is still an issue in 2026. Is there an explanation from staff? A remedy even? Despite the 100s of posts and users experiencing this, i’m yet to see anyone in the organisation comment on the matter.
I have a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-1260P. It was stuck at 10% of max frequency or CPU min MHz (400). I had it plugged in for days, and went through many suspend.
I plugged off the power and all expansion cards (2 USB C, 1 USB A and one HDMI). Let it off for 2 minutes, turned it on without expansion cards. It went back to normal. I plugged in all the cards, and it is still performing good.
If the system will lag again I will try to report.
Yeah. This bug has hung around but, for whatever reason, only affects some people and not others.
Here’s some threads for reference:

And here’s a post from user @mahe who came up with a workaround to the issue:
