no matter what I do in the TPL settings, the option is always greyed out and checked, but does it actually do anything now?

What CPU do you have? Most 12th Gen and newer CPUs always lock BD PROCHOT in the enabled position.

i7-6820hk, now I notice that box isn't greyed out anymore after I booted the Windows again today, the feature isn't that important for me, because I have very good cooling and won't go over 85C, unless I do extreme stress testing

The ability to disable and lock BD PROCHOT is a little flaky at the moment. It is at the top of the list of things to fix. I finally have access to a MSI laptop that allows me to enable or disable BD PROCHOT in its Advanced bios. This will allow me to properly test the BD PROCHOT feature so it works as intended.

What CPU do you have? Most computers do not let you change BD PROCHOT in the BIOS. Most 12th Gen and newer computers have BD PROCHOT enabled and this setting is locked.

Smart people might be able to modify a couple of UEFI variables in their BIOS. I am not that smart.

I got lucky. I recently bought a 14th Gen MSI laptop that gives users access to the Advanced BIOS. The Advanced BIOS includes a setting that allows me to toggle and unlock BD PROCHOT without the problems that most people have. Users should support companies that include features like this.
