Thank you. Just curious, could putting a shortcut in the startup folder do the same thing? Just wondering if there’s a nuance that prevents this.

It doesn't work with W11 23H2, Microsoft has messed something up. This has worked for me though:
– In the General tab, click on Change User or Group
– Click on Advanced
– Click Find Now
– Select Administrator
Task Scheduler won't be asking for a password anymore and ThrottleStop will run in highest privilege.
