word of caution - better have a secondary computer and easy access to bios programmer before doing this.

just downgrading bios (supposedly supported by the laptop manufacturer as an option in the bios) bricked a laptop of mine and it required scouring the internet to find the solution.

it is a shame that despite all of this you still are dependent on the os and its ecosystem to apply the undervolt. disabling virtualization and wsl is a very poor sacrifice for letting throttlestop work.

editing EFI variables would be worth it if it could allow you to apply undervolting right then and there!
