Game optimizer release for Windows plus obscure CPU setting

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't check it myself but I figured it would be one of the too good to be true situations. I'll try making it possible without making it a target to anticheats.

Added a kernel driver as a more invasive method. Tested with EAC and BattlEye without issues so far.

I remade it like 3 times since then. Switched from the 3 .GCFG configs to one .json, optimized many of the functions because it wasn't running well enough on my PC. Now the only issue is that the memory cap setting it asks for breaks apps, so opting for No is pretty much mandatory.
I also posted 2 HPET removal methods in the files- repo which also reduce input lag for me a lot.

nice changes i test new darkstar the memory cap issue causing steam boot loop when press no cap.
press yes cap just break steam.
and test the finals game looks like has denuvo anti cheat which requires enabling DSE to play the game
i manage to load darkstardriver.sys as a service using kdu
first i disable dse with this command kdu -dse 0 then start darkstardriver.sys then re enable dse using these command kdu -dse 6
no bsod game work fine dark star app detect darkstardriver.sys but the game threads priority still dont change other games works fine so what do think..... anyway thanks i'm gonna test hpet removal methods
sry bad english

Those observations are right, this is probably the true 1.0.0 release so I can begin working from here. I want to make the automatic game thread setting possible but it probably requires more than my tweaking knowledge at this point but still I'd say it's infinitely better than what it was in the first place. Currently the program is good as an alternative for those who would like to change the priorities of system processes but don't want to hook Process Hacker or use wind64 which didn't work on the last few Windows 11 builds anyway.
Now I'm testing the complete removal of Windows logging.

The program breaks steam and it keeps closing and opening so you can not really play. Needs to be fixed

I need to update the config.json file with this:
scroll to the bottom,
"memory_caps": {
"enabled": true,

set to false

Updating this thread because the program was massively overhauled again and testing is appreciated.
