Press the Windows Key, type Control Panel, and open it.

Go to Hardware and Sound > Power Options.

Next to your active power plan, select Change plan settings.

Select Change advanced power settings.

Scroll down and expand Processor power management.

Expand Maximum processor state.

Change both “On battery” and “Plugged in” from 100% down to 95% or 90%.

Fix 2: Use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU)

Download and install the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) directly from Intel’s official website.

Open the app and locate the Performance Core Ratio (or P-Core Ratio).

Drop the multiplier down by 1x or 2x (for example, if it says 53x, change it to 52x or 51x).

Apply the settings (note: You need to set XTU to launch automatically when Windows starts to keep this fix active).
