Yes, it does seem to be specific to Fritz GUI. I am seeing the same symptoms while it is working fine under Shredder GUI in Win10.

I was wondering why at 4 threads I was getting 1,800. Changed it to 8 same thing?

The Windows avx2 exe is working fine for me under ChessGUI.

Yeah, it's a Fritz 17 GUI issue then.
