This tool was made to save me time and simplify the optimization process on Windows. Windows will revert some settings during updates, so it's advised to rerun after updating. If you want to donate, you can here, but it's not mandatory.
This tool optimizes windows to it's fullest potential, disables telemetry/data collection, and disables auto updating. The tweaks made by this tool will increase overall system performance, framerate in games, and network performance, but will also cause windows to draw more power. Due to this extra power draw, this tool may not be ideal for laptops with a working battery.
Due to how this program writes changes to Windows it's flagged as a virus. If that worries you, then you can compile the binary yourself with the guide below.
-
Download python 3.10.
-
Clone the repository or download as zip and extract it. If you don't know how to do that then here is a tutorial.
-
Navigate to the repository and run
pip install -r requirements.txtin the terminal. If you've never used the terminal then here is a simple article on how to use it. -
Now you'll need to enable scripts, so you can run the build script. In powershell, run
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Forceand then continue to the next step. -
Now, you can run
build.ps1in terminal or by right clicking and running with powershell. -
You should now see your brand new binary waiting for you to run it!
File integrity allows you to verify that the file you downloaded is identical the one uploaded. In the release, there will be a hash you can use to verify the integrity of the binary.
-
Start by downloading the latest version here, then copy and save the SHA256 hash.
-
Open powershell and navigate to the directory where
win-optimizer.exeis located. -
Run the command
Get-FileHash -A SHA256 .\win-optimizer.exe. -
Compare the hash listed with the hash from the release page.
-
If they match, then the files are identical.
