Windows - Tweaks

Recommended. This is entirely optional, but I personally do this.

1. Tweaks:

   • O&O Shutup10++

     • https://dl5.oo-software.com/files/ooshutup10/OOSU10.exe

     • Open it, create the restore point

     • Use recommended tweaks, then close it

     • Restart

   • Optimizer

     • Get the latest release here: https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer/releases/

       • Enable the following (leave autos alone)

       • General:

         • System:

           • Optimize Performance

           • Remove menus delay

           • Optimizer network

           • All the disables but print service

         • Disk drives:

           • Optional:

             • Hibernation

             • Superfetch (I personally do not select this)

           • All of them

           • Restore classic file explorer

           • Hide taskbar weather & search

           • Disable my people

           • Enable long paths

           • Disable sensor services

         • Windows Update:

           • Everything but "Microsoft store updates"

         • Taskbar:

           • All 3 disables

         • Privacy:

           • All of them

         • Gaming:

           • All of them

           • NOTE: Only enable game mode and leave the other two options untouched if you want to play on Microsoft Store games in online mode (it will prevent logging in for those games if you enable the other two).

         • Touch:

           • Again :)

         • Extras:
