Hey @djdallmann

I saw your research on RSS, I got a I226-V card. But it is only showing 1 Queue, where it should have 4 Queues. Would you have any idea why?

I also tried older Intel driver (28.0) same result.

After using powershell scripts my fps are lower. Do you have revert scripts? I dont want to reinstall windows.

Hello,

So the recommendation goes as following,

Recommendation: If you have a 4 core CPU, try binding RSS queues to cores 2 and 3 (3rd and 4th core)

If we have more than a 4 core CPU, for example a Ryzen 9 5900X, it should be set as Set-NetAdapterRSS -Name "Ethernet" -BaseProcessorNumber 2 again?

Thank you

Hi,

Did you ever notice that on Windows 7 certain file types are automatically set to critical I/O priority when reading them, like mp3, mp4 etc? I don't think it matters what application is doing the reading.

I would like this to happen on Windows 10/11, any ideas?

Also i'd like to add file types on windows 7 like .flac, how to do that?

An answer to this would be helpful to tons of ppl i'm sure! nobody likes listening to a broken record.

Thanks!

"To note I'm not the original pioneer of this finding, just helped to simplify it through testing." Can you please provide your source? I need to disable HDCP on just one monitor. I got difficulties finding a solution for this.

master/CONTENT/RESEARCH/WINDRIVERS -> hdcp

I would like to have something that shows me how optimized my PC could be by following the guide. FPS benchmarks, testimonials on how it feels to use as a whole, or more clarifications/explanations for why to do some steps.

One step I would like to have an explanation for on the step would be to disable Turbo Boost in the BIOS. Many people would like to have Turbo Boost frequencies, but they might be unwilling or unable to overclock their CPU. This can make people following the guide question why you should do such a change or just ignore the guide for the most part.

Click the value that is in the position 18hex, when selected will be indicated by the numbers in red in the upper left corner of the grid. Make note of this value (Base address offset/Base address space offset)

• The red digits in the top-left corner of the Memory window grid are in Base 10, not Base 16 - so the displayed red "18" is really just 0x12, which is not 0x18.
• The BAR1 address often has 4 at the end, e.g. 0xED190004. When RWE's Memory window opens when you jump to that address the last digit in the Address = button is reset to 0, which throws me off.
  • e.g.: if my BAR1 is 0xED190004 and I double-click on the PCI window cell with that value, the Memory window's Button says Address = 00000000ED190000. If I click the button and add-back the "4" at the end then the Memory window seems to show the original BAR1 address' contents fine (so why does the Memory window initially round-down addresses despite not needing to?).
  • Your screenshots show you adding 0x24 to the 00000000F7310000 instead of adding 0x24 to 00000000F7310004, but Intel's documentation (5.5.2.2, page 426) says the offset is "RuntimeBase + 0x24 + ( 0x20 * Interrupter )" - so what's going on?
  • UPDATE: - I see that Intel's documentation defines RuntimeBase as "The Runtime Base shall be 32-byte aligned and is calculated by adding the value Runtime Register Space Offset register to the Capability Base address" - but your article doesn't show you performing the same calculation.

Double click the address space field. e.g. Address = 000000000000

• You can't double-click that button. Single-clicking it opens the Start Address dialog.

• Your article only mentions setting IMOD for the first BAR1, but the Intel documention says there's up to 1,024 interrupters - should we update them all, or not? If so, how can we feasibly update that many?

Hey DJDallmann,

is it possible to autorun a batfile like mentioned in this step? i dont have much experience in coding and such i've done your method and it works for me. but on this other optimization guide,

https://github.com/BoringBoredom/PC-Optimization-Hub/blob/main/content/xhci%20imod/xhci%20imod.md

he mentions a different technique.

is this different? because when trying his method i don't seem to be able to see the "changes" when moving the mouse around. he doesn't have a way directly to contact him so I was wondering if you can help me here.

Hi
I appreciate your guide very much.
This is just a minor inconvenience that is bugging me while I troubleshoot.
Only fix on I found online is process lasso and I don't want to use it.
Is there a way to permanently set it with process hacker?
Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to test your script and unfortunately it didnt work as expected.
First of all i'm testing on a VMWare virtual machine.
I installed Windows 11 pro using Win11_23H2_EnglishInternational_x64v2.iso downloaded from microsoft today.
I do the full windows update and rebooted, then I tried following your explanation.
After the second time running the Start-DscConfiguration -Path .\GamingMinimal\ -wait -verbose I get this error:

VERBOSE: Perform operation 'Invoke CimMethod' with following parameters, ''methodName' = SendConfigurationApply,'className' = MSFT_DSCLocalConfigurationManager,'namespaceName' = root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration'.

    + PSComputerName        : localhost

VERBOSE: Operation 'Invoke CimMethod' complete.
VERBOSE: Time taken for configuration job to complete is 0.146 seconds

Then using the Get-DscConfiguration I got another error:

WARNING: [DESKTOP-F6VNTVA]:                            [] The GET operation will be carried against a pending

   [Get-DscConfiguration], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ProviderOperationExecutionFailure,Get-DscConfiguration

The service TabletInputService does not exist on my VM, but why it make everything not working ?

After rebooting the second time I tested the config: Test-DscConfiguration

Test-DscConfiguration
WARNING: [DESKTOP-F6VNTVA]:                            [] The TEST operation will be carried against a pending configuration since the latest configuration has not converged yet.
False

What seems to be wrong to me is this error: since the latest configuration has not converged yet.
Which means for me that something is wrong in the script. As I'm really not a expert of DSC (to be honest you make me learn it) I don't know how to help to debug further. Please advise. thanks.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Scheduler

Mostly because of this https://github.com/dougg0k/gaming_os_tweaker/issues/13#issuecomment-1620610076

Maybe there are more keys that could be useful in there.

Hi, thank you for producing this guide.

Recently when debugging a system plagued with I/O issues, I had gone to lengths to try disable Windows from auto-installing third-party software using the registry methods already outlined in the guide.

I found in several cases, particularly Razer and Alienware hardware were installing their own bloatware even with these registry edits applied. In this case of Alienware - simply plugging in their monitor would auto-install the Alienware Command Center without any permission/asking. Razer would bring up an installer setup - even when declined would go ahead and install various Razer DLL files, for simply plugging in a mouse.

It has since been discovered that some of these coinstallers (Razer in particular) are abusing sys admin privileges to bypass UAC and user consent. In addition, several security vulnerabilities have been highlighted from this, which are not addressed by MS as of time of writing.

To prevent this, I had to do the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Installer
Add DWORD-32 value named DisableCoInstallers and set it to 1
This registry edit appears to prevent driver coinstaller bloatware from auto-running when a device is plugged in.

Under System properties (sysdm. cp) -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings -> Set to No
Note: This setting was off for me and Razer/Alienware would still install, so this setting is not reliable on it's own.

I think it would be beneficial to add this to the guide for others, as this is becoming an increasing problem.
