Windows 10: Performance help

Hello guys.
I have questions.


Im looking for a full-performance settings for my PC. I'll use for game development (w/ VS and MonoGame) and Gaming. So after a clean install...


Specs: Win 10 x64, GPU 750M i7




• Should I remove built-in features in windows 10?
• Is K-Lite Codecs realy necessary?
• What services can I disable that wont affect myself? (I won't use Xbox win10 platform)
• As a good computer user, I know what kind of risks I have. Is Windows Defender OK or I need AV and a Malware tool?
• MSConfig settings will help?
• Can I disable my Intel Graphics driver to set my GPU as default for my monitor or is there another way to do it? (I don't care about power usage).
• Is there a performance post with all information needed to perform a clean install and setup a new OS for the best settings performance ?


Thanks *Smile

Performance help on windows 10

After upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 my computer has been slow. It is an older laptop but that I would not mind keeping around for a bit longer I just don't know what to fix (Ram/settings/etc). I find the fan on the computer is on all the time too. I
did most performance enhancing disabling I can find.

System info is ....

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 3.00 GB

Total Physical Memory 2.87 GB

Available Physical Memory 864 MB

Total Virtual Memory 5.75 GB

Available Virtual Memory 3.29 GB

Page File Space 2.88 GB

Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 925 @ 2.30GHz, 2294 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 1 Logical Processor(s)

I ran the performance index and have this....

CPUScore : 4.4

D3DScore : 3.3

DiskScore : 5.9

GraphicsScore : 3.2

MemoryScore : 5.1

TimeTaken : MostRecentAssessment

WinSATAssessmentState : 1

WinSPRLevel : 3.2

PSComputerName : TOSHIBALAPTOP

Any suggestions to enhance performance is welcome. If it is time to retire the laptop well that might be necessary too.

 

Performance help on windows 10

Thank You. I checked with Toshiba, the Bios updates go to Windows 8 64bit only. No option for Windows 10. Is it advisable to install that? I've never updated the Bios on this machine. I've never updated the BIOS on any machine for that matter but am
reasonably able to do so if necessary given what I've read for instructions.

I remove all, but NET Frameworks, I also disable IPv6 and delete all network protocols.

No, if you are using something like MPC-HC or VideoLAN and do not edit videos and such.

That is a hard one, there is no universal advice for all, it depends, what windows features or various software you are using, eg I disable PrintSpooler, because I do not have a printer and so on.

You can start researching here: Black Viper Black Viper, but basically you will find out by trial and error.
You can also look at my config for sugestions about services and other stuff: [Batch] Windows 10 Tweaks.

It is OK, that means average, you could try something like 360 Total Security Essential
WD sometimes causes high CPU/RAM/HDD usage for no apparent reason, not scanning.

There are better tools like Autoruns or CCleaner's startup manager.

Sorry, can not really help you at that one.
