Cash mode is automatically reactivated!
Hi TonyMax, thanks for your comment. It's true that in some cases, performance mode can be reactivated automatically due to system settings or Windows updates. To avoid this, I recommend checking your advanced power options and making sure no programs or tasks are reactivating it. Disabling any performance-first settings in your power settings may also help. Have you tried any of these options?
