I recently upgraded my i3 6100 to i5 11400F, but when i opened msconfig to enable the cores only four of them were selectable. I then did some searching on bios to see if there was a setting for cpu cores(Gigabyte H510 mb) and found it set to 6 cores, but the problem remains unsolved. any suggestions?[ATTACH type=“full” width=“386px”]9484[/ATTACH]

Your machine will not function correctly unless you have 30 percent free space on your c: drive.Comment

Since you have Utorrent installed, there is possible malware on the machine. If you wish, post a new thread in the malware area, I can make sure there is no malware on the machine, if there is it can be removed.
Click the link below to start a new malware thread, if not no big deal that is your choice.

@PeterOz @Bruce perhaps you have a thought or two here.Comment
-
initial thought is BIOS firmware doesn’t recognise latest CPU.
current installed BIOS is F8, Gigabyte is up to F13 for that board - try the latest and see if that helps.Comment

Edit: Try What Bruce says

If you are using Windows 10, the box next to “Number of processors” will normally be unchecked. This is because Windows is configured to utilize all cores [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]whenever a program has the ability to use them.[/COLOR]Comment
