Why doesn't my windows 10 show my overclock speed of 4.9?

Windows only shows the stock CPU details, it doesn't actually get it from the system.
Use CPUZ if you want to see the configured clock speed.

Windows has never shown the actual speed, only the chip stock speed. Otherwise it would have to show the speed as a chip clocked up and down.

Strange, to be fair, my Ryzen shows the overclock speed, maybe its just an Intel thing and how it reports to Windows, what does task manager say ?
Have you actually overclocked the base CPU speed or have you just increased the maximum which it will boost to?
Given you're CPU is reducing down to 0.8GHz in your screenshot I would guess you've increased the maximum it will boost to under load which is why you would see the correct speed in CPUz or the Task Manager but the stock speed in the CPU description.
That's how my i5 has always displayed.

I have increased the base cpu but I have speed stepping enabled and all of those things, so when the cpu isn't doing much it clocks right down. Thats how I had my 2500k/2600k setup aswel, and windows showed the oc speeds, maybe a tad wrong by 100mhz, but still showed that they were overclocked.
