ThrottleStop Settings Reset After Reboot
Determine whether startup, firmware, permissions or another utility restores settings after Windows restarts.
This page addresses the specific search intent throttlestop settings reset after reboot. For broad setup instructions, use the main usage guide; for voltage fundamentals, use the undervolting guide.
Before Making Changes
Record the stock configuration, exact Intel processor, BIOS version, Windows power mode, temperature, package power and active limit indicators. Do not import settings from another computer. Supported controls vary by CPU, firmware and manufacturer policy.
Focused Checklist
- Confirm the scheduled task actually ran
- Check configuration-file permissions
- Look for vendor power utilities
- Verify settings only after Windows settles
Recommended Method
Observe first, change one setting only, apply it, and repeat the same controlled workload. Record whether the requested value was actually accepted and whether Windows, firmware or vendor software restores it later. Keep automatic startup disabled until the profile is proven stable.
Test more than a short benchmark. Light workloads, idle transitions, sleep and resume, battery operation and ordinary applications can expose instability that a heavy CPU test misses. Return toward the stock value after a freeze, restart, blue screen, calculation error or unexpected performance loss.
How to Interpret the Result
A lower temperature or higher score is useful only when the workload, power mode and ambient conditions match the baseline. ThrottleStop can expose limits and adjust some supported controls, but it cannot repair inadequate cooling, a failing adapter or a firmware restriction.
