My top tweaks for gaming in Windows 10

-

A collection of my favorite Windows 10 gaming tweaks, I'll be updating this with more as time goes by if necessary. I do not require Windows Search or use Cortana, pick and mix what suits you best. Disable Dynamic Tick Open a command prompt as admin and type; bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes Reboot required to take effect. By default Windows 10 will allow the system timer to go idle to save power at the expense of system responsiveness. For any interactive application such as gaming particularly in a competitive setting, maximum responsiveness is more preferable. To restore the default setting type; bcdedit /deletevalue disabledynamictick Enable the Ultimate power plan Open a command prompt as admin and type; powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 This will enable the ultimate power plan under Control Panel > Power Options.

(MFX_ERR_NOT_FOUND) 11:20:18.317: [qsv encoder: 'advanced_video_recording'] qsv failed to load After a bit of online research things were pointing towards missing software packages required  for Quick Sync, specifically oneVPL. After playing around all you need to do is to install two additional software packages, these being openvpl-tools and libmfx-gen1.2. Easily achievable by issuing the following commands in a terminal: sudo apt install onevpl-t...

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Enable video thumbnail previews

-
Image
Out of the box Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does not show video thumbnail previews. Instead you are greeted with a video file icon. I personally prefer seeing some sort of preview as it helps quickly identify some of my gaming video clips that are titled only with the date and time (using OBS to record game play). A quick way to accomplish this is to install ffmpegthumbnailer. sudo apt install ffmpegthumbnailer As you can see, the result is video thumbnail previews are visible and it makes Ubuntu a better user experience. It should be part of the Ubuntu restricted package in my view but it isn't :D
