  1. How do I stop Windows from prioritising resources to whichever program I have 'clicked' on?


    Here's the issue;I play an online game with 3 separate clients. I have two screens, I run all 3 clients in window mode spread over these 2 screens. If I have all 3 open but none selected with the mouse, they all run at ~60fps. If I select one, it's frame-rates will increase 144fps, whilst the others remain at 60fps. If I then select another, same thing, the one I select will increase to 144fps, the one I just deselected will drop back to ~60fps. It's as if Windows is prioritising resources to which ever application I have 'clicked' on, and taking resources away from everything else. I run all

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
     
  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
