    I had some old tweaks, and while sorting through them, I found this
    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
    "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:80000003
    "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
    "DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
    "LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583]
    "ValueMax"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
    "IRQ8Priority"=hex(b):01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update]
    "UpdateMode"=dword:00000000
    Is it still relevant or is it useless ?

    Thanks

    PS : LargeSystemCache is useless with SSD I think

    @TairikuOkami Ok thanks for info ;)

    With W11, no need DisablePagingExecutive tweak then ?

    I already have disablelastaccess (3)
    I had disable8dot3 but I didn't put it back, I could put it back

    From the description, it is disabled by default, but it could be probably enabled, similarly like PageCombining

    Okay, I'll keep it, I don't think it's counterproductive
    I don't know PageCombining, I'll look into it

    Thanks

    I'd like to remove all Print and PrintTo entries from the registry (so I no longer have the Print option with the right-click)
    Is this possible with a script and two lines, or do I have to do it for each entry present ?

    Thanks

    "EnableDpxLog " from 1 to 0, what does that do? Thanks.

    EDIT: nvm it was off anyway in my 64 bit reg path, unlike 32 bit.

    For the reg tweak you will have to look that up for yourself , or it's a re-install and put the correct region in :).

    Am about to do a clean install of Win 11.

    Is it worth running Windows Utility by Chris Titus? he claims it debloats the Windows install which sounds nice but I've never used it. Is it worth doing and does it really work? If we want to use it, do we do it right after the fresh install using PowerShell?

    This is just my guess, but I think many people visiting this site have customized their install image.

    Customization is possible after installation, but that could leave a lot of junk behind.

    I prefer to adjust the image before creating the ISO to ensure that nothing is installed automatically without my consent.

    With the 25h2, it seems that the address and search bar are "wider" compared to the 24h2
    Is it possible to return to the 24h2 size with Vivetool (or something else) ?

    Thanks

    Hello, I currently use powertoys to remap Win + X, as I use it to send a window to my second monitor. However, randomly the remapping stops working.
    Is there a way to unbind the shortcut, so that I can use third party app like dual monitor tools and set it to Win + X?

    My issue went away when i restarted powertoys as administrator (in general settings there is a checkbox 'Always run as administrator' for that).
