ThrottleStop does not have any command line options. You could use ThrottleStop, set up 4 different profiles, and then switch profiles with keyboard shortcuts. You can set these up to use whatever keys are convenient. Something like CTRL+ALT+1 for profile 1, CTRL+ALT+2 for profile 2, etc. On newer CPUs, Windows 10 might be enabling Speed Shift. You can test for this by running HWiNFO and see if SST lights up in green. SST controls the CPU speed at the hardware level so this will take precedence over any Windows power profiles. Here is some more info about SST and how to check if it is enabled. Intel Speed Shift Technology Disabled on my 6700K | NotebookReview

If you have gone to the trouble of disabling all of the C States then you might as well use ThrottleStop and disable the C1E C State too. With all of the C States disabled, your CPU temp will go up when it is lightly loaded but you should get a nice steady multiplier. The Task Manger is sort of right some of the time. It depends on the CPU and situation. I would put way more trust in the ThrottleStop C0% number compared to the Task Manger utilization number. TM utilization is not accurate at all. One negative of disabling C3 / C6 / C7 it that you automatically lose access to the highest 33 turbo multiplier. This multiplier is only available when a single core is active and the second inactive core is allowed to enter one of the above C States. On a 4300M, that's not so bad though because you should still be able to run at a constant 3.2 GHz when C1E is disabled. Are you using the Windows High Performance power profile with the Minimum processor state set to 100%? @blue2 - You need to do the registry mod to disable the C States. There is no option in ThrottleStop to disable C3 / C6 / C7. ThrottleStop does not interfere with thermal throttling. If an Intel CPU ever gets too hot, it will slow down just as Intel designed it to do.
