ecoqos scheduling

EcoQoS scheduling is a Windows power management feature that assigns background processes to a low-energy Quality of Service (QoS) level, reducing CPU frequency and voltage to save battery and lower heat. On Windows 11, this mechanism is closely tied to Efficiency mode, which can inadvertently throttle performance of applications like Google Chrome. When Chrome processes are placed under EcoQoS scheduling, they may run slower than expected, while browsers like Microsoft Edge, which are more tightly integrated with Windows, can avoid this throttling. Users experiencing sluggishness in Chrome on Windows 11 should check Task Manager to see if Efficiency mode is enabled for Chrome processes, as disabling it can restore normal performance.
