Windows 10/11 optimization guide for gaming (Updated: April 29, 2025)

I included that in important notes. If your games still not completely smooth then check GPU/CPU temperatures or it can be game optimization issue.

The optimization guide is not merely about increasing average FPS—rather, it's meant to solve actual problems such as stutters, FPS drops, and erratic frame pacing, which ruin smooth gameplay even with high-end laptops. In order to observe its effects, you need to compare frame time graphs and 1% low FPS prior to and after implementing the guide. Numerous users on various platforms—even those with high-end hardware—have cited that executing these steps decreases micro-stutters, makes frame stability in general better, and provides a clearly smoother, more enjoyable gaming experience, demonstrating its worth has much to do with more than just bumping your FPS numbers up. Even if those users did not post here in a direct comment, the guide is actually shared elsewhere and that's the reason its views continue to grow. I've expanded and edited the guide to assist users of any laptop brand because individuals with machines made by other manufacturers also drop by.

Also, if you weren't suffering from poor performance to start with, making these optimizations usually makes the system even more stable by minimizing resource consumption and temperatures, and allowing more RAM for your games—so you still get the advantage of a better and more stable gaming experience. Intel users should also try playing with E-Cores which I didn't included here. It can cause issue in some.

By the way, that remark you were citing is really old and was regarding a registry edit, which I have since removed. There is nothing to fear now.
