CPU clocks stuck at full speed.
I've just noticed my CPU clocks are stuck at full speed (4.9Ghz) despite switching back to the balanced power mode, only restarting the machine corrects it. Weird..
Update: Yikes it was the LightingService (32 bit) which is the Asus Aura service. It was stuck at 13% CPU... Terminating the service and the clock frequencies dropped back. After reopening Asus Aura it is consuming the most idle CPU cycles out of any background apps. Anyone running it might want to check in Task Manager..
It was the Starry Night effect with quite high CPU usage, back to breathing and the utilization has dropped a lot.
