Windows 11 Pro, 13900KS, RTX 4090. Max settings. I had awful stuttering/hitching in menus and in game on 2.9. Saw someone else posted about core parking and I tried it. My game has NEVER been so smooth. Here is the 2 minute video about it. Try it and see if it helps you out like it did me. I never post on here but this helped me out so much I had to.
If you do not see the "Processor performance core parking min cores" option under "Processor power management" when viewing a power plan, then you can run the following command from an admin command prompt
Alright, I digged further into it, because if 100% is the default setting for the high performance power plan (which is the one I've always been using on my system), then why would it still be parking cores? Well, seems like there is another setting called "Processor performance core parking min cores for performance class 1 cores" or similar (my system is in German, so I'm not sure how the correct English description is) for systems with P- and E- cores that is set to 0% by default even on the high performance power plan. I guess this was the culprit. Testing now.
Edit: Alright, yeah, with this setting set to 100% as well, Windows has now stopped putting cores into parking and these major freezes in DCS seem to be gone. Will need to do some further testing to be entirely sure, but looking good.
On systems with CPUs that have both P- and E- cores (like the 12700, 12900, 13700 and 13900 intel CPUs) the 'High Performance' plan has core parking disabled by default only for the E-cores. On these systems you need to disable core parking for the P- cores as well as @AdrianL described here:
Shawn Farka's blog post explains the original intent of the Parking Window well. The expense of having to re-create the child windows was certainly on top of the list. Not the only concern though, some types of child windows are very difficult to re-create accurately. A TreeView is a good example, there's rather a lot of runtime state associate with it. To do it accurately, you'd have to record the collapse state of every node. That's painful and Winforms does not in fact do this. When you re-assign, say, the CheckBoxes or StateImageList properties then you'll see this going wrong.
Particularly the last two bullets are almost always deadly in a typical Winforms program. They tend to be used when the programmer dynamically adds and removes controls at runtime. Problem is, the control is re-hosted on the Parking Window but the programmer just forgets them there, losing the reference to the control. And they will live there forever. Until the user terminates the program because it turns into slow molasses from having thousands of windows created. Or the program crashes with "Error creating window handle". Which occurs when Windows gets sulky after the program has created 10,000 windows.
Well, this doesn't always work so well. See, there are certain properties of Win32 windows that you can't change once the window is created. Like the style of the border, for example. So to allow a user to change the border style after the window has been created, you need to recreate the handle. Which means you need to not only pull all of the state out you want out of the existing one, but you need to recreate it and push it back in. Okay, that's not too hard.
For those that don't know, CPU parking is a feature in recent Windows Server releases that allows Windows to pretty much drop a CPU core to zero use, and having nothing use it. It's been introduced as a power-saving measure. There's more detail about it here, amongst other places.
However what I'm curious about is whether this matter on a virtualised guest - or is CPU parking more of a hindrance than a help, given that the physical CPUs are managed by ESXi, not Windows, and that a parked CPU is less likely to deal with traffic unless the scheduler deems there's enough work to unpark the CPU?
CPHeadroom specifies the value of utilization that would cause the core parking engine to unpark an additional logical processor if the least utilized processor out of the unparked set of processors had more utilization. This enables increases in concurrency to be detected.
It appears as though there is some sort of driver or override in effect that will automatically park cores, EVEN when you have core parking disabled in your power plans. Is there anyway to get around this? I just upgraded from a 5900X to a 13900k and had no core parking to core parking all the time.
I double checked the normal methods of disabling core parking, something is forcing it on. Turning on core parking normally seems to make it worse. Disabling C-States will cause the cores to no longer be parked, however in Resource Monitor it will still say they're being parked... They just refuse to park and will stay active, including activity on them. Ideally I would like to have C-States on and Core Parking off. I don't know if MS is doing this or Intel is doing this.
Empirical evidence shows that disabling CPU core parking can make a tangible improvement in system performance. There are many factors that will determine precisely how effective it will be for a given situation. However, generally, Windows is too aggressive in its core parking, resulting in high latency during bursting CPU loads, stemming from the overhead of having to unpark CPU cores. Since bursting CPU loads are the most common type for many workloads, core parking can be a substantial drag on system performance and responsiveness.
Both CPU core parking and frequency scaling are power saving features of modern CPUs. CPU core parking is when cores are put into a sleep-like state when demand is low. Similarly, CPU frequency scaling allows the CPU base frequency to be lowered, again to conserve energy.
ParkControl is normally used to disable core parking to achieve a performance boost, not enable it. Enabling core parking can cause performance problems with some CPUs, depending on how aggressive the parameters are. That said, yes, you can save energy by enabling core parking, but we recommend only doing that in select power plans, such as Power Saver.
The cost for tinting the driver and passenger windows was actually less than I had expected. I went with a higher grade of tinting than the standard and the cost was $139 for both windows. It took the window tinting guys about 1-1/2 hours to complete the job. I waited in their waiting room while they did the work.
Oh, one more tip: Do some research about which tinting shop to use before having your windows tinted. The place I took my SUV is the only place the dealer from whom I purchased my car will use for tinting. Apparently, not all places do the same quality of tinting, so maybe call around to a few of your local car dealers and ask them who they use for having car windows tinted when a customer requests that.
Good for you! I have had my car windows tinted with every purchase over the last 25 years and would not have it any other way. It gets crazy hot in Texas during the summer months and tinting is the only way to fly! Enjoy your new vehicle!!!
We are traveling to see family and I must have missed your post about a new car. What did you get? I have been trying to keep my hands covered because the sun comes in on the passenger side and I can already see all the brown spots popping up all over my hands. Where did you take your car to get the windows tinted? I might want to get my windows tinted too.

Cleaning car windows is a messy job for many car owners. Many times, windows cleaning leaves streaky finish which makes it harder to see than before. We have provided some easy to follow tips to clean car windows without streaks.
The streaks on the car's window appear for a reason. When you wash the car on a hot day or under the sun, the cleaning solution dries up fast and leaves a residue behind that appears as streaks on windows. You can prevent streaks from appearing on the windows by parking your car in the garage before cleaning the windows. Also, you can consider cleaning windows when the climate is cool like in the evening when the sun is not shining directly on your head.
