Does anyone know why my Acer Nitro 5 only shows 3 cores in task manager?

I don't understand why this happens since it has a intel core i7 8750h which has 6 cores, in msconfig boot settings it has all the 6 cores ticked to use to boot, but in task manager only 3 cores show up with 6 logical cores, it makes no sense since on intel website is clearly stated that it has 6 physical cores and 12 threads, I bought it from Amazon but I can't find another acer nitro laptop with the same CPU and specs that mine has.

Open run(window+R)→type msconfig→went to the boot tab→then selected advanced options→then there was a check mark to select number of processors →the check mark was checked and even though it was selected at 3 cores
unchecked the mark and restart you laptop

Oh wow, it actually worked, thank you so much for the information, I don't get it why it doesn't initially show the 6 cores as it makes no sense, everything is set out to max performance by default, I don't get it hahah
