Windows 10: How to achieve maximum performance in Windows 10 for a blind developer?

Hello.



It’s good to have a beautiful operating system with a variety of visual effects, etc.

Better yet, if productivity can be spent on something useful. Type of games, or specialized software.

I'm a blind developer. I don't use graphics, and now I want to achieve maximum performance in Windows 10.

Who climbed into the bowels of the monster, please help with tips on the best possible optimization.



My specifications:

Device: Dell Vostro 15 3568 Laptop

Processor: Intel Core i5-7200U

RAM: 8 GB

256 GB SSD

Video card: Intel HD Graphics 620



Installed operating system: Windows 10 LTSC 1809 (I don’t know if it makes sense to use Windows 10 Pro for me, not LTSC)



What was done (I translated all the items from Russian, for this reason, the names may not be same in the English version of the OS):

The latest drivers from Dell are installed;

The latest OS updates are installed;

Disabled everything in privacy;

In the control panel - System - Advanced system settings - Performance parameters are set to provide the best performance. Swap file disabled. Download and recovery has disabled the Display list of operating systems check box.

In the antivirus settings, I turned off Real-time Protection, Cloud Protection, Automatic Sending of Samples.

Further in gpedit.msc - Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Defender antivirus program has enabled the Turn off Windows Defender antivirus program policy. Disabled the Allow permanent anti-malware service policy.

In the Real-time protection branch, I enabled the Disable real-time protection policy, disabled the Scan all downloaded files and attachments policy.

In the MAPS branch, disabled everything, turned on Send sample files if further analysis is required, and indicated Never send.

In the CMD, from the administrator, I executed:

gpupdate

sc delete DiagTrack

My friend advised the scheduler - Microsoft - Windows - Application Experience to delete all tasks.

Disabled disk indexing.

In secpol.msc - Local Policies - Security Settings has disabled the User Account Control policy: all administrators work in administrator approval mode.

Disable hibernation via powercfg –h off.

I tried to knock out the Xbox Game DVR through execution in PowerShell Get-AppxPackage * xbox * | Remove-AppxPackage, but got an error:

Remove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Uninstallation failed. Contact your software vendor

providing. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CFA)

NOTE. For more information, find [ActivityId] fb3978fa-07bd-0003-30c4-39fbbd07d601 in

event log or type in the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID fb3978fa-07bd-0003-30c4-39fbbd07d601.

line: 1 character: 26

+ Get-AppxPackage * xbox * | Remove-AppxPackage

+ CategoryInfo: WriteError: (Microsoft.XboxG ... l_cw5n1h2txyewy: String) [Remove-AppxPackage], IOException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: DeploymentError, Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.RemoveAppxPackageCommand



In Power Supply exhibited High performance.

Disabled disk defragmentation.

The following services have been disabled:

Windows Search

Offline files;

Windows Biometric Service

Secondary login

Grouping network participants;

Print manager;

Network Participant Identity Manager

Logs and performance alerts;

SSDP discovery;

Smart card deletion policy;

Parental control;

Windows Event Picker;

Xbox Live Network Service

Network login

Geographic Location Service;

Windows Image Download Service (WIA);

Bluetooth support service;

Windows Error Reporting Service;

Smart card;

Fax;

Windows Update



I have an SSD. Given this, I do the following.

Disabled the Windows indexing system;

Disabled creating the Layout.ini file;

Disabled Superfetch and Prefetcher;

Disabled defragmentation of system files at boot.



How true are my actions? What should I not do from this, what should be added to this?



My ultimate goal is to maximize the performance of Windows 10.



Thanks in advance!

Sea of Thieves on Windows 10: can't unlock achievements

Hi PieBaracus14,

Normally, achievements will be unlocked once you complete a certain task, mission or challenge on the game. If you recently installed the game on your computer, I suggest that you uninstall the game first, and then reset the Windows Store cache by performing
the following steps:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).
• Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.
• Reinstall the game in question.
• Once done, attempt to unlock the achievement again.

If the achievements still don't unlock, I suggest that you raise this to our
Achievements Support team by taking the survey on this
link. They will help us to double check your account and validate if you completed the requirements to unlock an achievement on the game.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Achievements

Hi,

If the achievements you've earned after completing game challenges are not reflecting in your account, it may be due to an interruption with the game server. To resolve this issue, we suggest that you perform the steps provided by
Mister Cerb on this
link. The solutions on that page can help resolve issues with unlocking game achievements.

If the same issue occurs, kindly get in touch with Mad Max's game developer to verify if there's an issue with the game server. Click this
link for more information.

Let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.

 

How do you optimize Windows 10 compiler to achieve maximum performance

I was reading about how in the old days there was c++ that allowed you to optimize Windows code to achieve maximum performance through out Windows (I'm assuming this was mainly for low end systems) it seems like if this is still possible it would have to be something to configure right after a fresh install of Windows or maybe using the system preparation tool.

I'm asking because I'm experimenting on some older systems that I own.

Would anyone happen to know how to do this or know what I'm talking about?
