Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - Processor Affinity

Greetings!

I am currently testing a banking system.

Unfortunately, I looked unto the Live Optics result of the VM (as shown in the picture) and found out that the instance is only using 1 core out of the 8 cores.

SQL Server Setting is set to Automatically Set Processor Affinity Mask for All Processors.

I am encountering performance issues like taking processes too long.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Like, should I set it manually and check all the CPUs?

Note: I am only running 1 instance in this VM.

    solve by manually check affinity on all cores
