Certain CPU monitoring tools are able to track dynamic changes initiated by AMD Ryzen Master.
In order to re-enable the disabled cores, the system must be powered off completely (alternatively
the motherboard may initiate a cold reset) and restarted.
Note that Windows 10 must be configured in the Power Options to disable fast startup when the
chassis power button is pressed to turn the system on. Make sure the box is unchecked for “Turn
on fast startup”
Figure 10: Windows Power Options configuration
It is possible to disable additional cores without cold resetting the system (i.e. a normal OS
system restart will work here). Therefore the user can switch within a profile or across profiles
from 8 to 6 to 4 to 2 cores without shutting down the system.
