Hi, I am obviously new to this application.

Trying to squeeze a bit more out of my Lenovo P52s with Intel Core i7 8550U Kaby Lake-R

I got it running and modded the CPU Core and the CPU Cache -60 millivolts and the result is great. 3.3Ghz and above, seems to be stable, very noticeable effect.
The process is running and I can open the main window and check values, or rather, could.

I get this error today that I have not seen before

I have made a copy of the ini file, since I assume there most saved values are located.
When adding TS to Scheduler I was not able to do it with my local account - despite being of course admin - so I resorted to do this, with some AI help:

Code:
$A = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "C:\ThrottleStop\ThrottleStop.exe"
$T = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtLogOn
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "ThrottleStop" -Action $A -Trigger $T -RunLevel Highest -User "SYSTEM"

This error message is new to me and wonder what could trigger it... again, I will be happy to provide more information once I know more on the possible cause and consequence of that error.


Ehm, never mind. The throttlebody.sys file changed location - annoying, it seems to keep jumping around - and my HIPS caught it and blocked it.

I now have three locations for sys excluded from HIPS
C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Temp\ThrottleStop.sys
C:\Windows\Temp\ThrottleStop.sys
C:\Throttelstop\ThrottleStop.sys



Got it running after exclusion and this is how my FIVR looks:

You can disable the ThrottleStop Safe Start feature in the Options window if it ever causes any problems.

The Task Scheduler Guide has always worked for me. I have not tested this method in Windows 11 24H2.
