I’m using a Razer Blade 15 (2022) | RZ09-0421x and I’m having CPU performance issues after accidentally resetting my Windows power plans.
Originally, on the Balanced power plan, my CPU behaved very predictably:
-
Idle: ~1.x GHz
-
In games: ~2.4 GHz stable
-
VR: 4.6 Ghz boost
-
Smooth performance, low heat, and no clock spikes.
Recently, I ran the following PowerShell command:
powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
This wiped all my previous power configurations. Now I only have the default Windows Balanced plan, and the CPU behavior has completely changed:
Current Symptoms
-
CPU clock constantly jumps between ~400 MHz and 4.4 GHz even when idle
-
Idle temperatures are now much higher
-
In games, the CPU fluctuates rapidly between base and boost clocks
-
Lower FPS and noticeable stuttering
-
Previously stable clock behaviour (~2.4 GHz under load) is gone
What I’ve Tried
-
Reinstalled and repaired Razer Synapse 3
-
Updated all Windows Updates (including optional driver updates)
-
Checked for Intel Dynamic Tuning / DPTF drivers
-
Reinstalled chipset drivers and GPU drivers
-
Adjusted processor min/max states
None of these restored the old stable behavior.
My Question
Is there a way to restore Razer’s original OEM power plan configuration or whatever tuning Synapse/DPTF applied before I reset the schemes?
If it cannot be restored directly, could someone tell me:
-
Which specific settings, drivers, or Razer utilities control CPU idle/base clock behavior?
-
What needs to be reinstalled or reconfigured to get the CPU behavior back to the stable 1.x GHz idle / 2.4 GHz gaming state that I had before the reset?
Any guidance from Razer staff or anyone familiar with restoring OEM power settings on the 2022 Blade 15 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
