I'm trying to play The Binding of Isaac on my laptop, but the game is just running too fast for me. I can slow it down if I unplug my laptop, which I believe throttles my CPU. I'd like to find some generic way to artificially slow a game down.
Questions similar to this have been asked before, but I don't want to have to load up a VM or pay money for a solution. Is there some way to slow down or throttle my CPU slightly in order to make games like this slightly easier?

I figured out what was happening when I unplugged it that effectively throttled the CPU, go to:
Control Panel -> Power Options -> Edit Plan Settings -> Change advanced power settings
Look for "Processor Power Management" and you can edit the settings from there.
It would be nice if there was a quicker/hotkey way to do this though, as I don't like to have to keep digging back into the control panel.
