TechPowerUp Releases ThrottleStop 9.6—Take Control Over Your Processor's Power Management
TechPowerUp today released the latest version of ThrottleStop by Kevin Glynn, a utility that gives you fine control over your processor's power-management, letting you squeeze the most performance out of it without having to overclock it. This utility is particularly useful to override processor power-management by OEMs in notebooks, although it's just as useful for desktops. Version 9.6 of ThrottleStop adds support for 13th Gen Core desktop and mobile "Raptor Lake" processors. A bug that caused stability issues with AVX512 has been fixed. The maximum possible IccMax values for 12th Gen and 13th Gen Core processors has been increased. FIVR-PL4 reporting has been fixed for some CPUs. There are several aesthetic updates to the user interface with this release.

Appreciate all the hard work gone in to this!
Will be a huge help with a lot of people!
Simply ticking the Disable Turbo option keeps CPU clocks down to on battery levels which is perfectly fine for my daily usage requirements.
One problem is i can't get it to load on Windows 11 startup, i put a shortcut to the program into the startup folder, it shows the program in the Task Manager startup tab, but it won't run til i manually launch it.
ThrottleStop needs administrator privileges and needs to start after you log in. It is best to add it to the Windows startup sequence using the Task Scheduler.
Here is a guide that shows how to do that.

Make sure core isolation memory integrity is disabled and follow the link in my signature to disable VBS. If you need those features, you will not be able to use software to adjust the voltage.
Reboot and delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file. Adjust both the CPU core and the CPU P cache.
If the FIVR window shows Undervolt Protection, you will need to disable that in the BIOS if possible.
Your BIOS has enabled Intel Undervolt Protection.
ThrottleStop cannot adjust the CPU voltage until Undervolt Protection is disabled in the BIOS before Windows starts.
What laptop model do you have? Many Lenovo laptops with the 13900HX processor work correctly by using ThrottleStop.
Try installing an older BIOS version. Maybe that will fix this problem for you.
And what is the effect of Package C State locked?
I guess you are writing CPU MSRs at with a timer to override the settings defined by BIOS and OS. Is the OS not overwriting the settings also
again or how can you overwrite the settings?
In Windows 11 there are 75 Processor Power Management settings where a good fraction of them seems to be related to SpeedShift. I cannot
find anywhere documentation which setting belogs to what. Do you have some pointers?
