FYI: Distributed Link Tracking Client tracks file renames and moves to ensure any shortcuts don't break, and isn't related to telemetry style tracking, so depending on how much you use file explorer/shortcuts, you may want to leave that enabled as it has a benign purpose.

The first thing you do is move the start menu back to its original position on the left. Windows 11 throws the start menu in the center. Disable the widget popout that will be located where the start menu has always been. This can be done in “personalize”. Right click on the desktop and choose “personalize”. A Windows 10 key will work on Windows 11. It’s a new face, but that’s about it. No real awesome changes to the OS. Also, if you just left click the “start” menu, you can just start typing to find a program. I prefer to pin all my software to the “start menu” where it’s only a single click to open and the desktop stays clean. Most, if not all Windows 10 programs and drivers will function fine on Windows 11.

Been waiting for a new guide man. I always watch the most current guide when reinstalling this is awesome. Tech YES City always has the best tutorials hands down.

Would like to see a comparison of before and after. Benchmark a default machine and then after changing these settings.

Not sure if this only happens on Windows 10, but at 30:30 you are setting a framerate limit for background applications. From my experience, this can cause nasty stutter in some games, at least on Windows 10, so I would highly recommend keeping it off (at least on Windows 10). I am using an RTX 3070 Ti if it matters.

I’ve been thinking of going to win11 and this is perfect. This Channel is becoming one of my favorites.

My favorite Windows 11 optimization trick is to use Windows 10.

Great video as always, but there are a few things I do differently: for Max FPS I set it to 3 under my monitor's refresh rate like you, however I set it to 4 under the refresh rate in the actual games, the reason for this is ingame fps limiters cause significantly less input latency than driver level limiters, this was also proven in a video from Battle (non)sense.

Another thing I do is, instead of all the tweaks you did in the beginning, I just install Winaero Tweaker and Ultimate Windows Tweaker and change all the settings there and more, I even have saved the configs so its done in an instant when I do a fresh installation.

As for the display drivers themselves, if you have an Nvidia gpu I strongly recommend you install the drivers via NVInstall utility which allows you to enable a few tweaks at the end like message-signaled interrupts and disable HDCP and removed Geforece Experience and other bloat which improved my 3DMark score by around 10%

On AMD side there are modded drivers amernime which are worth checking out but I don't have an amd gpu yet so can't confirm.

One last thing to check is to make sure Virtualisation is turned off in your BIOS unless you are using virtual machines, this can have a massive effect on performance, up to 30% memory speed penalty if left enabled.

Hope it helps.

note for those who dont want their GPU running at high clock while idle just leave it to normal since your GPU will get hot doing nothing.

[mitcHELLOworld]

Yeah, I don't know if some of these things do what you think they do... It definitely could have helped if you explained what you think some of the things do that you tell people to disable in the services module. Specifically "distributed link tracking client" I feel like you disable this because you feel like its some sort of telemetry that "tracks" you due to it having "tracking" in the name, but that is not the case. Instead, disabling this will break shortcuts if you move the original file. This will simply dynamically update the shortcut to follow the file.

Finally I got windows from keyr (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org")



I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.

For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho

Love these in depth real world tutorials Bryan, cheers bro

[MuzdokOfficial]

Thank you Brian. Have a great holidays!

31:45 "N-SYNC" LMAO, you caught me off guard there, literally 🤣

[Targetlockon]

YES man is back with the optimizations! Thank you!

[adamdion]

Only thing lacking from this video is an actual before/after test, or comparison. Otherwise, greatly explained video, with a lot of tweaks that nobody talks about in other videos I've seen

[KieranBLK]

I’m shocked that this video made me fall asleep 😅. Something about his voice is so soothing. Besides that, thanks for the information. Although I have my own set of optimizations this could be very helpful to others.

[drk_blood]

What of the most important thing you didn't mention about the "high performance" power mode is that it keeps the cpu clock maxed out all the time.

[SKHYJINX]

👑 0.13 nanoseconds here, ...0.87 nanoseconds there... x20-x30 times, it all compounds to greatness 👑

[Atilolzz]

Awesome Video! I bought an used PC 2 weeks ago with Windows 11 and saw some new bits in this video, thanks for the upload!
