CPU speed misdetected

[Anaerin]

My CPU is being detected as 800MHz, which is it's minimum frequency with power saving:

This might be related to Hyper-V being enabled.

Are you running the application in the Hyper-V VM?

Maybe this will help:
Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Expand MaxClockSpeed

Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Expand MaxClockSpeed

Pretty sure I'm already getting this value in Line 22 of \includes\WMIC.au3

I'm not running it in a Hyper-V VM, but because of the way Hyper-V works, the "Host" OS is still a Guest, albeit one with a lot more access.

And for reference:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Expand MaxClockSpeed

The reason I mentioned Hyper-V is: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/windows-task-manager-shows-wrong-cpu-speed-when-using-hyperv

Apparently there's a "Fix": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/task-manager-shows-incorrect-cpu-speed - Use the "\Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor\Frequency" performance counter.

Hypervisor detection:
Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem | Select-Object -Expand HypervisorPresent

Maybe this will help:
Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Expand MaxClockSpeed

This incorrectly detect 2101 MHz, my CPU can reach 4.8 GHz

Spent a bit of time looking for a good solution to this and pretty sure there isn't one.
Removing the CPU Frequency check is probably fine, nobody legitimately fails it, all the complaints are either because the printed number is wrong or because of virtualisation. The CPU Compatibility check indirectly covers it anyway.

Nope

What I'll do is grab the @ from the CPU string and report that if there's a discrepancy. Although this will only work for Intel CPUs

And only for non overclocked CPU. Look at mine, it report 2.10 GHZ, it actually runs between 800-4800 MHz.

In my opinion only stock speeds should be supported, sure, you can oc many cpus to 5ghz but have fun trying to run that.
