About this tag
ThrottleStop is a lightweight utility for controlling CPU power, thermal limits, and sensor readings on Windows laptops. On Windows 11, users have encountered a tray icon duplication issue where the system tray settings fill with hundreds of disabled ThrottleStop entries, causing the taskbar overflow to become slow or unresponsive. This problem stems from how ThrottleStop registers multiple notification icons and how Windows 11 caches them. The ThrottleStop 9.7 update includes a compatibility fix that prevents new icon multiplication, but previously cached entries must be cleared manually. Additional workarounds include delaying autostart to avoid race conditions. The tag also covers using ThrottleStop to address performance issues like high DPC latency and overheating on Dell XPS laptops.
