Optimize Windows 10 For Better Performance | Really..?

Optimize Windows 10 For Better Performance | Really..?

You seen a load of videos on Youtube for other people telling you how to can boost performance, FPS, Latency, Improve Performance & Speed Up ANY PC or Make Windows 10 Faster...Really? a lot of these tweaks do hardly anything to a computer and if it does do anything, its so marginal, its not worth worrying about, so why do they exist? Because people are gullible and believe everything they see on the internet. Boost FPS from 60FPS to 300FPS, its all fake and clickbait. These are all old tweaks that have been around for many years, like Power Settings, Disable Start up Programs, Virtual Memory, Uninstall Unwanted Programs, Update drivers, Remove Temp Files, Change DNS, Changing the number of processors, the list goes on and on.

These are the only things that will really boost performance that is worth mentioning.

Overclocking CPU, GPU and RAM
SSD if you are using Mechanical drive
Upgrade GPU if it has 2GB or less.
Upgrade CPU if you have old gen processor
Upgrade RAM if you only have small amount of RAM
Better Monitor for faster refresh rates 144hz and up
Better Internet

Tweaks are for very low end or old computers, that have low memory, old CPU or GPU or both. If you want performance, then buy better hardware.
Debloating, Turning features off and tweaks of the like can help with making the system run smoother on low end systems and lower system resources, but it comes at a cost.

Tried loads of other tweaks, none made a bit of difference. Smash the LIKE Button. 👍

Wish a lot more people on you tube would say what you just did. On todays computers you are right it does not do any good. I hope people on you tube will come to there senses and realize this but I fear they won't. Great video Brian.

Thanks Brian Brother,
You are the most genuine person and you gained my trust 😀
Literally every pc related channel had made a optimization videos and all of them are same and useless and makes the system unstable 😐

[williamlinington]

I have run into a few channels on youtube, that make these claims. I have been working with Computers since 1988. The number of scams and hyperbole I am run into, are too few to mention. Great video! It is good to see you setting folks straight. Cheers and Happy New Year, Cheers!

I optimized I removed it from my hard drive and installed Ubuntu instead. Machine runs fast AF.

[welshtony]

The sarcasm is real in this one.
Only thing I personally think that might make any difference is to pause windows updates and pause any security programs that might interfere.

The best "lightweight" setting for Windows visual effects is Performance, then turn smooth screen fonts back on (as with that off, it really does look horrible) - but that's for something using a weak CPU, integrated graphics and not a huge amount of RAM - and set the background to solid colour.
Windows 10 is pretty stark and basic anyway, compared to Win7 Aero.
Actually, with precisely 4GB RAM, do you:
1. Use x64 to get it all, and hope the 64 bitness doesn't consume more RAM
2. Lose some RAM with x86 and hope the smaller code makes up for it

Thanks for that Brian, you save me a lot of time with your videos. Not that I’m a gamer but it’s good to get the correct information from someone who is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable on computers, as to what you should and shouldn’t be doing on them.

Your optimizing tips made my HP run So fast and now i can stream, and do everything just cuz of you, Thanks brian

Brian, this must have been a less then good day today for you... ;) Can't speak to games as I do not play them. I'm not new to computers and ran a BBS back before the internet was a thing. Commodore 64 before that and purchased online with a 300 baud modem. Although I knew about certain settings I never used them and a good example is in one of your videos showing disallowing windows to handle advanced features. This made a difference. Do I disable startup programs; yes I do. I start them manually when needed. Do I turn off services, only lately the ones you have recommended. Ryzen is Ryzen but we can all learn to shave a little off here and there. Let's not call it hacking but learning and trimming a long the way. If I get back 0.001 percent back from the operating system back to the processor any processor I'm a happy camper. I did want to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. 2021 I'm hoping will be a little better then the last year!

well, I'm not sure how to describe it, but if you genuinely have into the hundreds of program installs or more.. the more likely something is to bork up. Though it is more of a general window usage search feature.

though it may mean alot less now where installers like steam have done a far better job at globalizing the dependencies & has done 100x better at not clobbering dependencies installs with ones from other games.
--- honestly that's kinda what I think my performance issues were then, but the only way to 'fix' it was to uninstall & reinstall the dependencies manually, and de-bloat the start menu of steam games.

I've bought my gaming laptop early this Sep 2020. The main reason for changing a new gaming laptop is Microsoft more likely not going to provide supports to the previous Windows. I had been using my earlier gaming laptop is already for 7-8 years and 3 more years it will be "done"!. So I will see a difference un gaming, but I'm not the type to upgrade if I spotted a difference in performance. Basically I just do not play that game title. So my current gaming laptop, I'm planning to use it for at least another 6-7 years before I change another new device. I'm just sharing my thought of PC or Laptops.

[darknido]

do agree most of the tweaks would help on a old system but to get better performance just a simply upgrade to a ssd and more ram normally works. also most time you forget what you tweaked and normally have to reinstall to correct the problems.

[chetanyasaxena]

Again, very nice, detailed and informative explanation. Keep these videos coming.

[SirHackaLt.]

The biggest difference the ‘power’ setting makes is the amount of energy being used when the CPU and graphics card are idle. Balanced should lower the watts used when it’s idling. :)

[areebobful]

Very informative. I have now reverted the necessary. Thank you.

[terra_.]

I cant believe the lies and myths ive been told, I mean the only way to boost your pc is buying a new one/upgrading, Its basically all lies

[confucianismkaizen]

You speak the Truth...
An Honest video...
Thank You.

[onejohn.]

I agree. My Win 10 was running slow, so I tried a bunch of these. Now, I'm doing a repair -reinstall of Windows....🙄.

[breakingthethwall]

Good job ben but unfortunately we know whats coming. all kinds of comments from people saying you didn't do this you didn't set that an oyu didn't run all these scripts. for me your right lot of these tweaks do exactly nothing.
