That is indeed a very interesting question. Maybe you dont know it, but there are different Windows 10 types/builds. AFAIK only version 1607 of Windows 10 has no micro-updates and no CPU bug/security mitigations (Spectre etc.). So that is the only version, that keeps the CPU unaffected/unthrottled.
