Hi!

The app works fine with all versions of macOS released so far, so please, take a look to the help included for troubleshooting and if still unable to disable don't hesitate to reach me directly on email.

Thanks!

Thanks. Fixed it with:

sudo kextcache --clear-staging

The issue was that permission problem:

Diagnostics for /Applications/tbswitcher_resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext:
Authentication Failures: 
    File owner/permissions are incorrect (must be root:wheel, nonwritable by group/other): 
        /Library/StagedExtensions/Applications/tbswitcher_resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext
        Contents
        MacOS
        DisableTurboBoost
        Info.plist~
        Info.plist

I leave that here for other users if they encounter the same issue.
