Even though I have selected disable turbo, when I start the computer, the ghz seems to be very high, but when I log in to the application, it drops, I do not want to enter the application every time I turn on the computer, can you help?
 
Disable turbo boost in the BIOS if you do not want to run ThrottleStop all of the time. You can also set the max processor state in your Windows power plan to 99%. This also disables turbo boost.

ThrottleStop has to be started if you want it to control your CPU speed.
 
For Windows, change the power plan settings.
If you want to use a batch file, please refer to the sample below.



### Clock_Limit.bat ###
@Echo off
cls

echo Change Max Clock of current power plan. (MHz), Default is 0 (AUTO)
set /P MAX_CLOCK="Input Number (0-6200): "

Powercfg -q scheme_current sub_processor PROCFREQMAX
Powercfg -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PROCFREQMAX %MAX_CLOCK%
Powercfg /SETACTIVE scheme_current

timeout 3
exit

### Turbo_Switch.bat ###
@Echo off
cls

echo Change turbo mode of current power plan.
echo.
echo Select Turbo Mode
echo P-State (Disable=0 / Enable=1 / Aggressive=2 / Efficient enabled=3 / Efficient aggressive=4)
set /P TB_MODE="Input Number (0-4): "

Powercfg -q scheme_current sub_processor PERFBOOSTMODE
Powercfg -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PERFBOOSTMODE %TB_MODE%
Powercfg /SETACTIVE scheme_current

timeout 3
exit

With ThrottleStop not running, the Windows power plan PROCFREQMAX value does not give me any control over the CPU speed.
A request of 2400 MHz is ignored. The CPU is still running at full speed, 5000 MHz.
Some Windows power plan settings do not work when Speed Shift is enabled.

So, is there any way to use it in normal mode without starting throttlestop?
Disable turbo boost in the BIOS if you do not want to run ThrottleStop all of the time. You can also set the max processor state in your Windows power plan to 99%. This also disables turbo boost.

in normal mode
What is normal mode?

If you want to disable Intel turbo boost, open your Windows power plan and set the Maximum processor state to 99% instead of 100%.

Most everyone else runs ThrottleStop on their computer all of the time. It is a very light weight app in terms of CPU and memory usage. ThrottleStop gives you far more control of your CPU compared to the Windows power plan settings.
