    For some laptops, there are no options like undervolt or boost watts settings, like mine :(, also xtu settings may lose after reboot.
    I made a little program can auto apply xtu profile at login according to others' code.
    1. Start xtu, find proper settings for your pc, save it.
    2. Open this program, input profile name, all done.
    Open software will automatically remove last settings.

    Thanks for StormJumper's reminder.
    Workd on my laptop, it's at your own risk...

    I for one if there is no options to do so would risk damaging your laptop and voiding any warranty. This should be taken with caution as do at your own risk.

    If you just want to undervolt and change boost setting why not use throttlestop instead? It's much more convenient, lighweight even when open on the background (XTU has horrid idle power consumption+preventing cores from being parked), and doesn't root itself deeply into the system as much as XTU.

    Maybe you are right,.

    I never used throttlestop before. I will have a try. Thanks. ;)

    Anyway, this is an alternative option if someone wants to apply fixed xtu settings. There are many other options in xtu could be useful.
