GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

For me, removing components is not about increasing performance. In fact, I doubt there's much of a tangible difference in doing so unless a person is using old hardware. It's to remove major annoyances that have been baked into the OS, such as the Windows Store and many of the telemetry services that gather information for no benefit to the end user.

My hope for the future is that there will be more documentation for component removal and compatibility with other Windows features.
I enjoy the windows store. I use my computer not only for gaming but also for tv shows and movies. Windows store provides me with the apps I need for that as well as Dolby Atmos which cannot be installed without the store.

I also use Smplayer for my videos. Took some time to tweak it properly but now it's golden!

F33thy is a YouTube guy that goes into depth for input lag and the best settings for Windows 10-11. I would check him out since it might help you as well.

There is also a nice app I got online


It really great in disabling things that you may not need in a nice and easy to use interface. I even bought it on steam since it was super inexpensive and wanted to support the guy.
 
nice never heard of phoenix, and Ive always wanted to do video's like this but Ive always found the format hard to look at, because literally can only see one fps at a time, either look at the left or right and try and guess if their is gained performance cause you can never look directly at both fps and be able to actually tell, the moment I look away from one fps I cant tell what the other one is at
 
That's why videos that don't have the average fps (FPS AVG) and 1% low I don't even see them :p at least AVG FPS is necessary to get an idea as FPS is something that varies a lot and any difference can be within the error margin.
 
FPS count is pointless without knowing render quality. It also doesn't help if you keep upgrading CPUs & GPUs in between different videos.
That's because YouTube is all about pimping affliate links.
 
But in this case it's a comparison between OS builds. It is assumed that in both cases the same hardware and graphics quality are used. The absolute FPS values themselves don't have any meaning really but comparing these values between OS builds, OS versions, drivers versions etc I see as valid since the same conditions are kept by varying the software only.

But of course it is difficult to test both situations under the same conditions and there are many other variables that can interfere with the results, so this type of test has to be seen carefully and compared with other tests.
 
Multiplayer gameplay should never been used for comparison. Only single player or in game benchmarks.
Well remembered. IMPOSSIBLE for two gameplays to be identical or close in a multiplayer game. In a single player it's already difficult, I don't even know how these channels on youtube do to test games that don't have their own benchmark and leave the gameplay similar.
 
No doubt those gamers will have a f-ton of security stuff running which may be different to the stuff you run aswell as any additonal things like Start is Back blah blah blah. Isp's network usage at a particular time might also be an issue, do they use telephone copper cables or fibre optic cables? you know what i mean. I could go on.

Too many damn variables to get exact matches.
I swear gamers would sell their grandmothers for a few extra frames per second.

You just ignore everything on the internet. What is matter is hardware 99% , stable oc . And only then win10 optimization. And if hardware is decent win10 do not matter i guess.
 
Yes the most important is the hardware. I don't think that optimization on Windows helps to have more FPS, at most it can improve latency. But I think Windows goes into some priority mode when running a heavy task like a game and reserves most of the resources for that. However tweaks and optimizations can reduce RAM usage for example and help with OS responsiveness in general use, especially on weaker hardware.
 
Anyways, so i was going to use gamer10 preset. But in his preset there is update steps, how can i remove those steps? I would use preset but without updates.thanks in advance
 
default without updates the section looks like this
<Packages></Packages>

or you can go to update section select all and remove before processing iso

Windows 10(default) resource use is roughly 4 to 5 times higher than on windows 7 default. I find that totally unacceptable.
Someone explain this to me please.
 
among all the presets that you have uploaded in this topic, can you tell me the "best" without having error in online games like fortnite please?
 
I would try the minimal presets, as they just remove hardware and such and if it doesnt work, the stuff is separated so that you can go into the preset and be like ok lets delete this section and see if that works experiment a bit, Ive tried to hand everyone something perfect but alas there is no one thing that is perfect for everyone so its kind of up to you to explore and try some things

I believe that the entire infrastructure for running UWP apps (including Settings, start menu, etc) consumes a lot of resources. Anyone with a slow hard disk can barely use Windows 10 decently. Even a context menu takes ages to open. Win8.1 does the same thing as Win10 using much less resources.
