Hmm, strange, but still not sure we're 100% understanding each other. Was the "1" in there when you opened the dialog? If so you must have done that accidentally. Terragen never changes that value, it's a *user* override.

When you start Terragen, Terragen automatically detects the number of cores your machine has, and enters it into the box, even though it's grayed out. This is essentially showing you the setting that Terragen is using. It wasn't set to override, and became a 1, because upon starting, Terragen detected a change in the machine, and somehow decided there was only one core to work off of.
Please try to ignore the fact I checked the override box all together. That was done to change it to a
4 to force correct number of cores, and had only ever been used in the past to enter in a
3 for certain projects where I've always reverted to automatic detection which than changes it to a 4. I just decided to take the screenshot and report the oddity after already having clicked the override box. That has nothing to do with the issue. Even if I did put in a 1 at some other point, TG should have automatically reverted to actual Core count as Override wasn't checked.
I started Terragen during a system update, and Terragen only detected 1 core off my AMD A10, a inherently finicky and buggy CPU made for gaming and ironically not compatible with many games (could be the issue there to begin with). I proceeded to use the program as normal and notice everything lagging and freezing in my project, and the render wasn't even starting to render after 5 minutes, so I checked the settings where I discovered there was only "1" core in the
grayed out non-overrided input box.
This wasn't posted in order to expose some sort of error with Terragen, but that when Windows 10 is performing some updates and you decide to use Terragen, it may not discover all your cores as it should, so if you discover TG is just acting weird and slow, may be your system updating when you launched TG and a similar issue.
