Intel 10700k will not go faster than base clock
Either the BIOS or Windows 11 is not setting your CPU up correctly. ThrottleStop can probably fix this problem but you would need to disable the Windows 11 Virtualization Based Security features. ThrottleStop needs direct access to registers within the CPU. This is not possible when VBS and Windows core isolation memory integrity are enabled.

After disabling these features, reboot and delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file. This file can sometimes become corrupted when you run ThrottleStop with VBS or memory integrity enabled.
Here is where the problem lies. Your computer is setting the turbo ratios to 38. When running any stress test, this will limit your CPU to a maximum multiplier of 38. This is what limits the CPU to 3800 MHz. You might be able to set these values correctly in ThrottleStop. You might need to disable VBS first for the new values to be written to the correct CPU register. I would be hesitant to use ThrottleStop when VBS is enabled. Most of the FIVR settings will not work correctly with VBS enabled.
I am not sure if the BIOS has screwed things up or perhaps Windows 11 has. If you cannot fix this in the BIOS, running ThrottleStop with VBS disabled is your only option to get your CPU running like it should. If you make any changes in the BIOS, you will need to delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file before running ThrottleStop. This allows ThrottleStop to read the BIOS changes you have made without using any previous values that you saved while using ThrottleStop.
Are you a fan of Windows 11 yet? I am sure lots of people have issues like this. Many never realize the reason why their computer runs like a slug after the "upgrade".
