Delete these files ( make a copy of them in case you want to revert it)
for intel
C:\Windows\System32 - mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll
for AMD:
C:\Windows\System32 - mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll
Also you can use InSpectre.exe from GRC.com to disable both!
It is reputable security site, refferenced on other sites.
You can't disable Meltdown (as far as I know) on newer CPUs, it was patched in hardware:
https://software.intel.com/security-sof ... -cpu-model
InSpectre says: You are not protected against meltdown - probably because there is no software patch.
I have Spectre protection on, because I read on newer CPUs performance degradation should be minimal. Not sure, if you even need the Spectre protection. I tried to disable it on older PC and it reduced input lag a lot! So if you are sure: you don't need it, you can disable it!
FSO:
OP's tweaks for disabling FSO works for me until DX12, you can check by enabling HID service (should be disabled otherwise for low input lag! If disabled: cause media keys and some USB devices to not work) and trying to change volume, or keyboard language, while in-game. If you don't see pop-out menu, FSO is disabled. Also you could tell probably by input lag! It helps a ton!
To add: after more googling I found, on DX12 devs can choose: which Fullscreen mode their game should use. Devs of some games chosen to not even code game to support Fullscreen Exclusive (good overlay). So now, in case they do: you are stuck with Hybrid Fullscreen mode (FSO)... And Vulkan has the same problem - I heard. Luckily there is not that many DX12 games there and some support DX11 still...
To disable FSO until and including DX11:

EDIT: hahaha folders are so long, that I have problem saving them on disk, because final path exceeding 260 characters. You can enable long path, but it could bug out programs - so I would rather not do that. Maybe I should have been saving these on my google disk
But I never even saw this error in the first place

Can DISABLEDWM be confirmed working even though it's still running via task manager?
EDIT: this is for Windows 10, correct?
I thought it was working, but I was doing some other changes at the time too. It doesn't!!! It is still running and consuming CPU.
However this helps a little bit with input lag:

Had no problems running this weeks !
EDIT2:
For DX12 and Vulkan use "bordeless" fullscreen mode, there is chance Windows will activate a new MPO overlay. From Nvidia drivers 461.09.

EDIT3: It seems he changed structure and some files are missing now. Luckily I saved most of them on my google disk and windows. Google disk doesn't even tell me count of files inside lol, it is pain checking for files xDD
There is some folder called: a | Last-Update 28FEB2021 {Major Update To USB} {Wow-Fast}
I did not notice anything, anyone know what is he talking about, there is nothing about USB inside!
Also here is more about cppc, on never mobos it should be CPPC v2 automatically, if you enable P states in BIOS aka Intel Speed Shift.

This can disable thumbnails completely on taskbar icons, instead not automatically showing them, check 2nd tweak:
https://winaero.com/how-to-disable-task ... indows-10/
To add: I believe this is called "Aero Peek", however after putting "NumThumbnails" to 0, it works only partially, therefore I will use "ExtendedUIHoverTime" = 30000 too. DisallowPeek for DWM doesn't work too!
