Hah. simple explanation, once you login to your microsoft account directly from Windows your CD KEY update to digital licence. So is no magic my friend no magic After that you dont even need that cd key anymore you can reinstal 1000 billion times windows and change 10 time a day your pc

Thank you very much,Bryan!I was having some weird stutters after the last windows update and that seems to be gone now!

I don't think those 3 settings alone would significantly improve performance. If you just enable ultimate power plan you basically get the most amount of performance you can. But realistically balanced power plan gives like %99 the same performance while allowing it to save some power here and there. I've been using QuickCPU to configure my windows power plans to actually save power on my laptop. Even on the power saver power plan, the cpu would boost randomly and cause fan noise. So I reduced my maximum frequency and boosting behavior.

@ns-tech1304

2 ай бұрын

The spikes in speed is not because of frequency. It is because of voltage, caused by frequency. You can undervolt instead. Then you can still boost and be cool.

I've heard about power explorer and used it, but only here I find some details the Internet fails to cover. Bryan always brings the black PC magic and secret sauce to us.

Thank you. Great help

My friend Bryan, happy to see you again. Do these settings work for 4th gen i5 PCs?

I have used utility called Winaero Tweaker which has plenty of tweaks. I used mainly boot logo disabled, Aero animations off, 0s delay or Windows popup menu display, no indexing files (SSDs PC only), also single user without login screen (automatic login). No desktop wallpaper. W10 boots in 6,4s on i3-10100f and nvme3.0 SSD. But mainly keeping reasonable number of apps installed and limit number of tray apps incl those which load at startup helps alot (I load personally only Adrenaline, single game startup client plus one more). Graphics drivers updated usually prior to latest ones until I have some issues. The latest ones if some issues.

Awesome video

Really like these tips and tricks videos

Holy Shit Brian! Feels like I have a whole new PC!

Bear in mind that the Windows 'performance' power plan will double or triple your CPU's idle power draw - my 9900K at 4.9GHz goes from about 8-9W to 22-24W, which translates to an at-the-wall increase of nearly 20W. ETA >> just checked with HWiNFO's monitoring my UPS for a minute each at 'performance' and 'balanced' and it's actually nearer a 10W increase, but still ... If you're someone (like me) who leaves their PC on pretty much 24/365 it's a consideration. I do this, BTW, because in my experience power-cycling (and the thermal cycling that goes with it) is what eventually kills electronics and components, NOT hours powered on - my old machine, a Z77, was powered on continuously for over 7.5 years of the nearly 10 I was using it and not a single component failed in that time, including a pair of HDD's running in RAID 0 (whose SMART data actually gave me those numbers).

Is there any way for you to confirm the difference for before and after these settings were changed?

my man savage "if you are on intel arc .... then goodluck" xxDDDDDDDDDD

Hello Brian. If you haven't already, can you please create a playlist on your channel page which contains all the videos about optimizing the system? I'd like to save that for whenever i build a desktop for myself to make it snappier.

Oh hey my tweak on the time check intervals is getting some love. It really was a strange setting to discover many months ago. But now everyone’s finally posting about it :). Much love man I enjoy the vids

To become the first person I’ve seen to go in depth in seeing like these and test them with a proper tool like LDAT would make me happy. I find we always go off of a software like latencymon to track progress, but hardware testing would go crazy ngl. Ofc responsiveness and smoothness of the system is more about feel tho.

Its a cool tool that ill probably add to my arsenal but realistically any even somewhat modern system you should be using the Balanced profile. You run into issues turboing and throttling using anything else. Also is all thats effectively available in WIn11.

So to anyone getting the greyed out apply button on win10 pro. The settings were un-hidden automatically for me after clicking unhide all. Go into your power settings and expand the selection as per the video instructions. After the recommended settings I did notice a ~10c temp increase(from 40c idle to 45-50+ range now) on my 5600x with the stock cooler/settings. It also reset my tuning profile on the 6700xt to default.

Does it fixes stuttering after alt+tab? I'm getting like 5fps per ~3s on game after alt-tabbing onto it. Doesn't matter if it's on full-screen, borderless or windowed.

@Raivo_K

2 ай бұрын

You can try disabling "full screen optimizations" option in the compatibility tab for the game's exe. I had even worse problems of getting stuck when using alt+tab but disabling this helped and it's smoother now. Here is what it does according to ChatGPT: In Windows, the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" compatibility setting is designed to address compatibility issues that may arise when running certain applications in fullscreen mode, particularly on newer versions of Windows, such as Windows 10. When this setting is enabled for an application, it instructs Windows to bypass its fullscreen optimization feature for that specific application. Fullscreen optimization is a feature introduced in Windows 10 that aims to improve the performance and compatibility of games and applications running in fullscreen mode by allowing them to run in a borderless fullscreen window instead of exclusive fullscreen mode. However, some applications may not function properly with fullscreen optimization enabled, leading to issues such as input lag, stuttering, or graphical glitches. In such cases, enabling the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" compatibility setting can help resolve these issues by forcing the application to run in traditional exclusive fullscreen mode. Overall, this compatibility setting provides users with more control over how certain applications utilize fullscreen mode and can be useful for troubleshooting compatibility issues with older or more demanding software.

@LiveType

Ай бұрын

If there is drive access occuring, then yes. It makes a difference. Yes, even compared to the fastest consumer drive, the 990 pro. A side by side will instantly reveal the difference. The optane system will NEVER lose. Main issue is price. It's kinda just... not worth it 99% of the time. Plus they draw ~3x the power. I personally run a stupid expensive 5800x 800gb optane drive as my main os drive (I got it for a relative steal at $900) and let me tell you it's noticeable anytime I transition away from it. Even with my cpu running at 2.9ghz due to turbo being disabled to save on power consumption when not doing anything performance critical as I run my systems like servers.

So does this help with gaming?

Nice.

i use Process Lasso for automatic power plan switching, everytime i start a game it sets high performance and when i turn it off, it turns power saver, also sets priority and affinity to processes, in power saver i also have set maximum processor state to 85%, doing so changed the idle power take from 130W to 80W(the whole system, even monitor) speaking about monitor, it has button to switch profiles, when i dont game, i switch off "gaming mode"(over drive and brightness ect) on it what also cuts 20W
