Windows 10 Disable Power Throttling

By

I have seen 2 posts about Win10 FCU messing with peoples power plans. One of them even intimated Win10 was somehow covertly throttling CPUs. A dastardly deed if there ever was one.
There is in fact a super-duper-top-secret way to disable CPU throttling in Windows 10. I’m going to show you but you must promise to keep this very covert and dangerous information away from… well, somebody. In fact this message may self-destruct any moment.

My O&O Shutup10 Settings

IMHO the Win10 Fall Creators Update was/is a giant waste of time and effort. It delivered nothing useful for the end user and caused headaches for many. FCU could have been delivered as a standard roll-up instead of a full system reset. There will be no changes to the Tweaking Windows 10. There is only one change to Windows 10 Privacy Settings and that is the screenshot to my O&O Shutup10 settings:
