Your ThrottleStop screenshots show that you have Windows Virtualization Based Security enabled. ThrottleStop cannot be used to control your CPU when VBS is enabled. If you would like to proceed with ThrottleStop, start by disabling Windows core isolation memory integrity. After you do this, reboot and run msinfo32 to see if Virtualization Based Security is disabled. If it is still enabled, try following one of these links.



Delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file, reboot and post an updated FIVR screenshot.

Disabling VBS is not for everyone. Some people need that extra security. I cannot yet tell if disabling VBS will make your CPU run any faster. It might. Sometimes VBS can prevent the CPU from being setup correctly.

Have a look in the BIOS for a Virtualization setting and disable it there. Did you disable Windows core isolation memory integrity? Post a screenshot of the Windows Features list. If anything in that list requires virtualization then it needs to be disabled.

Some people have better success following the second guide.

Check for Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Sandbox and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Those will keep virtualization enabled.

One difference I see is that you have Kernel DMA Protection enabled. I have read that this needs to be disabled in the BIOS. I have never had to deal with this and I have never seen a BIOS setting for this. Here is some more info. You do not seem to have this setting in the Windows core isolation section.

This setting depends on virtualization being enabled.

Kernel DMA Protection is off.
