Description

I'm having insane coil whine on my desktop PC when browsing the RetroArch menu. This happens with glui and xmb (haven't tried the others). When I go to Frame Throttle and enable "Sync to extract content framerate" and "throttle menu framerate" it works until I quit RetroArch and start it again (even after manually saving the config). After the restart I have to switch the menu driver and disable en re-enable the menu framerate throttle but it doesn't stay that way when I relaunch the app.

I'm running Retroarch 1.19.1 Git Version: 427e2fa6f6 under Windows 11.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 with RetroArch 1.19.1, using the glui or xmb menu and the reported Frame Throttle settings. Inspect how the menu framerate throttle is saved and restored across relaunches; done means the setting remains effective after restarting without switching the menu driver.
