DigitalOcean droplet has 64GB RAM and 32 vCPUs. Installed windows' device manager shows all CPUs. But in Task Manager it is showing only 2. Is there a way to make it work. (Refer to the image attached.)

Hello!

The task manager in Windows 10 defaults to "Overall utilization" as opposed to utilization per CPU core. You can change this behavior by opening the task manager, selecting "CPU" on the left side and then on the graph itself right-click.

Once you right-click, choose "Change graph to" and then choose "Logical processors".

Once changed you should see all of your CPU cores.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response. I tried the solution provided by you. In fact, it still shows the same number of CPUs. I have attached screenshots of the local machine and DigitalOcean VM.

Hello,

Can you check msconfig to see if there is a limit of the number of CPU's?

msconfig --> Boot (Tab) --> Advanced Options (Button) --> Number of Processors (Is this checked?)

I also see you are running Windows 10 Pro, did you get that template from us?

Hello,

'Number of processors' checkbox is unchecked. Also, the dropdown below it shows the max range of 2. 

I was trying some other tutorial. Those screenshots were taken on a different template than yours. But the results are same. 

The tutorial I was following.

Unfortunately that isn't our guide nor our templates, as such we really can't be of much assistance as to what may have gone wrong.

I would recommend contacting the author for assistance.

Yes, the Device manager shows all CPUs. 

Honestly, I do not know why this may be happening.

Which Droplet do you have?
