I have i5-4200U (Dual-core, 4 threads) but CPU-Z and Core temp only show that it has 1 core and 2 threads.

How do I fix? I haven't seen option in BIOS which would let me change the number of CPU cores either.
I've updated to the latest BIOS; Still no option for changing the amount of cores.
And as you can see in the image; I've changed the value of cores in msconfig from 1 to 2, or am I missing something obvious, and both cores are working..?
Currently on W8.1 Pro
HOW TO FIX, Possible solutions TLDR version:
-Unpark your cores
-MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECK THE ''Number of processors'' box in Advanced boot after changing it.. lol. This was why my laptop was using only 1 core. I forgot to uncheck it after changing the value to 2.
