If you want that extra edge when playing games these settings and tweaks may help. Any changes that involve using the Group Policy Editor and Registry Editor will require a reboot for that change to take effect. I may update this page as time goes by, comments are open so feel free to add your comments or thoughts. Disable any unnecessary apps running at startup Use Task Manager or (Settings > Apps > Startup) to disable any unnecessary apps from running at start up Task Manager Settings > Apps > Startup Go through your start up apps and disable anything you do not need to run.

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.

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.

The reason I ask, imagine throwing in a Formula 1 racing car engine into a Ford Fiesta and then claiming its a super car akin to a Lamborghini Huracán Performante. What about all the other aspects to consider such as aerodynamics, an efficient drive train able to put down all that power, suspension setup, braking system, cooling and the list goes on.

A base frequency of 2.6GHz, 18 cores, maximum turbo frequency of 4.4GHz meaning depending on the load only 2 cores have the potential to run at 4.4GHz at any given time. 3 cores lower th...
