Windows 10: optimization for gaming

How about a stripped down OS streamline for gaming or a startup setting for such a configuration? I just don't need a ton of excess services and media support to play a game, it just bogs me down....


I usually just wind up killing unwanted processes but this sometimes has unexpected results.


Thanks for you help!
