I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 11 Pro, but I've noticed that it's only recognizing one CPU. It seems like the 'Number of Processors' option in MSConfig only pertains to the cores of the CPU rather than detecting all the CPUs in my system. I'm used to previous versions of Windows where all CPUs were detected automatically. Any ideas on why this is happening or what I can do to fix it?

It might help to share your hardware specs. Since motherboards that support multiple CPUs are less common, knowing your setup can lead to better suggestions. What kind of motherboard and CPUs are you working with?
That's quite an unusual issue! Do you really need multiple CPUs? Most users only need a powerful single CPU for regular tasks. If you're running a specialized setup, you might want to check if you're using a version of Windows that officially supports multiple CPUs. Sometimes, Windows Home versions might limit detection compared to Pro versions.
Is there a specific Windows version needed for multi-CPU setups? I couldn't find anything clear.
