Did anyone notice that somehow we lost the ability to have more than 2 cores. Well, 2 cores and # of threads with a Windows 10 pro installation? I can see the processors in the device manager, but task manager keeps saying 2 sockets, 2 VPUs. I'm assuming I need to do something in the background, but sadly I'm a VMWare jockey in most places so still trying to learn. Any suggestions?
I saw @ac9hp ran into a similar issue in his thread: https://antsle.com/forum/topic/configure-cpu-for-windows/
He adjusted the settings by tweaking the msconfig side of the house. In my case, I need to adjust the configuration of the vim I think.
I had a similar thing happen (although I don't remember if I had created the antlet from a blank-kvm template or some other Win10 template).
I stopped the antlet, then edited the definition directly (from the antsle command line as root using virsh edit antletname). In that file, you can find a section about CPUs and I was able to set it to 1 Socket, 1 Core, 8 threads (or whatever you need):
In my case, since I wanted 8 cores:
<vcpu placement='static'>8</vcpu>
Then further down a little, there's this section:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='8' />
Same issue here, I do not see the <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='8' /> did you add that?
I didn't add it, but I had to change the numbers.
Here are the first lines in my XML showing the vcpu and cpu sections
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>win-terminal1</name> <uuid>96f437d5-9a07-4bq4-8xxc-1e1831xx8a9f</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <os>

</features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>

</clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash>
odd, i do not have that. Thank You for posting yours, i may try and add it and see what happens
