Throttlestop crashes after automatic profile change

[Enterhaken]

I've installed Throttlestop to undervolt my laptop CPU (i7-8750H). I'm using 2 profiles: one for AC and one for battery power. When Throttlestop is automatically started via task planner on windows logon it runs perfect until it has to change the profile from AC to battery (e.g. when I unplug the power supply), then Throttlestop crashes immediately. When I start Throttlestop manually it always changes the profiles without any problems or crashes. What's the problem here? I'm clueless...

Any CPU crashes are almost always because the CPU is not getting enough voltage. If you are on the edge of stability, anything is possible. A smooth transition when going to battery power might also depend on how much load is on your CPU at the moment you switch.

Post some screenshots so I can see how you have ThrottleStop setup on AC power and post some more screenshots that show how you have it setup when on battery power. What sort of testing have you done to try and prove stability? Full load testing with all 6 cores active is important but it is just as important to test when only 1 or 2 cores are fully loaded. Are you passing TS Bench tests, Prime95, etc.?

I guess you understand me wrong. Not the CPU or the laptop is crashing, only the Throttlestop app itself is crashing after the first profile change and only if the app is started automatically via Windows Task Planner. When I start the app manually by myself it works as it should and isn't crashing at all. Also my laptop works well, also with all the benchmark tools.

This is a common problem. The default Task Scheduler settings tell Windows to kill a program when switching to battery power. If you follow the Task Scheduler guide I wrote, you will not have this problem.

Thank you very much. It was my fault. I mistakenly thought that the greyed out boxes are inactive. I'm sorry about it. Now everything works as it should.
