Most impactful tweak

[rekaa02511]

First of all, this thread is not for those who are affected by EMI/Power lag, I know there are no reg edits, changes that you can make to solve those issues.. For those without those lags, what is the most impactful tweak/change that you made on your system? I'm trying to get my latency input as low as possible.

The one that I really like a lot is the PowerSettingsExplorer edit, when you change "Processor Performance Time Check Interval" to 5000, you can instantly feel the difference and you can also change "Processor idle time check" to 200000 instead of 50000, at least the first one lowers DPC latency a bunch.

Turning of Control Flow Guard on your game exe file also a necessity.

Any good ones to share?

Both power plans I have in my GitHub guide are objectively perfect that have both the settings you mentioned plus some kernel events disabled.
I'm testing this atm but maybe disalbing the WmiAcpi driver could be impactful.
Otherwise I just like applying thousands of regedits because they do lower latency and increase performance a bit on paper but regarding mouse feel they do nothing.

Or to give a more detailed answer, I do it like this: run a standard Windows install with updates and everything else turned off, just to apply a few thousand SCEWIN settings. Then install a pre-tweaked Windows 11 that has every service and driver turned off that isn't needed for the specific games I play. When it comes to impactfulness, many people claim that hardware is kind of the only factor that matters and you can do little with what you have. I always found this wrong and with these little things adding up, you can see clear results, even though it's time consuming and leaves you with a system hanging by its threads.

Your github is absolutely stacked but I'm afraid to do some of those tweaks.. I still keep my windows security on and lots of other stuff. I added some of your BCDEDIT commands though, thank you. Also, your power plans, I don't have a good cooling system for PC, do you still recommend it?
