I looked in Acer's web site for the proper drivers for your system, please get in contact directly with Acer to gather the instruction to update the BIOS to the latest version, 1.22 and install Chipset driver version 10.1.1. This problem could be related to the chipset, the BIOS version the drivers or even the Operating System. Keep in mind that the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) creates a lot of customizations on their laptop, they can enabled/diabled features and functions of the device. There are some reports that state, as you mentioned, that the Virtualization feature is enabled in the BIOS but the Intel® Processor Identification Utility shows is deisabled, that could be because of the version of the tool installed, please updated it to : Just to confirm the Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Processor does support Virtualization, both (VT-x) and (VT-d) as you can confirm in the following link: For instance, the “XE” at the end of an Intel Core processor’s name denotes a max-performance desktop chip.Mjfneto, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

You probably have options to set power saving parameters separately for battery and mains power operation. (9th Gen Intel chips came out in 2018-2019, 10th Gen in 2019-2020, and 11th Gen in 2020-2021.) Perhaps more to the point, if you would start some other application just before starting the processor identification, the CPU should come out of idle power saving state and report the expected clock speed.

Each processor name has a brand, brand modifier, generation, SKU, and product line. To sift out the differences between the unique Intel CPUs, you have to know the parts of each name.
