Maximum frequency slider doesn't work as expected.

Hmm, maybe the pstate API for 11th gen Intel core processors changed. I will not have access to one in the near future to verify the support. I will need other people to do some testing and development for that platform.

I will consult the kernel docs and see if there is anything documented regarding this.

To just solve your problem of a slow pc: uninstall this extension and power off your machine (no reboot, might not always work). Then wait a couple of seconds and turn it back on. The CPU should now have forgotten all configuration of cpupower.

If this does not work, check your UEFI firmware / BIOS settings for CPU frequency scaling settings.
