Some Intel users might not want it though. It helps performance but compromises a major security breach for Intel.
@gdeliana When I further tested that Meltdown tweak on my 5950x, it lowered CPU-Z multithread by 200 points and Cinebench multithread by 300 points. Deleting the keys and rebooting I was back to normal. Sorry, I thought it would help as y-cruncher when you run the benchmark says Meltdown mitigation will slow the benchmark. .
Ok then will test it also in games, to me it didn't give lower benchmarks in cpu-z test. Will see, if so i can just comment it out and leave it there, maybe in the future we can find a reason to use it.

Newest commit not working. No output in the Start-Optimize-BAU-TI.ps1 command Window and makes no mount folders or anything. @gdeliana I tried to share a pic of the empty command window but the forum not letting me. Never mind, I broke my Windows install. Restoring Windows with a Macrium Reflect backup fixed it.
Grammarly was not letting me correct misspelt words in Chrome. I narrowed it down to the Clipboard tweaks in the Set-Additional.ps1. When I removed those, Grammarly now working fine. I had to restore my Macrium backup image, edit the .ps1 file, run it, now fixed.
@gdeliana Should I go on GitHub and share the changes I made to the files for some added tweaks and to fix issues I was struggling with? I dunno if you'd want to commit then, the RibbinUI issues might have been isolated to my build but that one fixes it for any W11 build. You have to modify it I think though as it applies with my fix to W10, W11, whatever. I need to add comments in the files on what the fixes do though.
The tweak of the amoled theme is the same with the one in the script. Just try to diff Content\Additional\SelectiveRegistry\AMOLED_black_theme.reg and the one you provided in this thread, its the same, git didn't give me any text changes. Regarding the other tweaks will start integrating them on Tuesday. Also the ribbon bar tweak you provided is the same with the one i have inside the script, will try to integrate it as a reg file. Is it windows 19044 IOT your target build?
Windows 11 IoT 22000. In that build the one in the script gives an IOException error in PowerShell and doesn't work
@gdeliana This is the error I get just as it tries to do the ExplorerUIRibbon tweak. Code: Index : 0 Exception : The parameter is incorrect.

The registry location I provided in HKCU is the same for any version of Windows 22000, not just IoT 22000. So it needs to be fixed all around. Here is the .cfg. I can't upload it, I'm at work and can't even install WinZip to make a zip file.
