Windows 10 optimization script - A community effort?

[lmitche]

Moussa, expect to mess things up. Your are going to do clean installs and recoveries many times with Windows.  Don't worry, you will get good at this, so it won't cost you ridiculous amounts of time!

 

We have all done this.  It's worth it.

 I'm coming to this thread for the first time because I need to use Win10 to build a little server/ripper for a friend.  I want to thank the original poster for his effort.  I was ready to cry because Server 2016 sounded so much better, but after doing these adjustments Win10 Home actually sounds better than Server 2016.  My question is:  Are the "scripts" that folks have posted actually scripts that can be run in PowerShell?  I wasn't sure so I did it the hard way.

Can these be copy-pasted into PowerShell or do I need to "create" a script?  I'm fairly proficient with command lines but this is new to me.  Any advice is welcome.  Many thanks again.

Yes, just copy and paste the script into powershell.  I've done this many times with success.

HI, curious, is it safe to run these scripts via Remote Desktop (meaning, there is no local monitor, keyboard, mouse) connected to the music server-- can I run these optimization scripts without killing the ability to connect via Remote Desktop?

 

 

Run something like TeamViewer and you shouldn't have an issue.

Do anyone find shutting down display in bios (so no display at all, possibly HDMI and VGA port are disabled) any better for SQ? I must say I do.

Yes, most of us run headless.

V1.0 beta (64-bit only) of getblackbird is finally available!  The reason it took so long is that the developer got a full time job.

https://www.getblackbird.net/…/BlackbirdV6_v1.0-x64_BETA.zip

Have you tried it?  I look forward to your report!

Buy and run AudiophileOptimizer and you'll have about 35 tasks if you use the most aggressive settings.

I think this depends on the version of Windows 10 you're running.  I doubt you can get anywhere near 35 on Version 1803.  What version are you running?

You may be right. I'm on Windows 10 build 10074.

Yes, but it is known as the best sounding Win10 release. Ask Peter St.

Sounds ancient.  It was released to the insider program as a preview on April 29, 2015!

OK I asked him.  He says '10074 really does not cut it any more' because 'today it shows its very distinct flavor too much' (as opposed to neutrality).  He says his current favorite is 14393 but he hasn't tried anything more current than that.

Oh well, I guess I misunderstood his posting. Thanks !

As Edbk displayed in his first thread here, the virtualization feature is turned off as you can see it here:

I have tried to find an online walkthrough of how to disable virtualization in my laptop, but I have not found anything yet. Could someone tell me how to turn off this feature? Thank you!

Look in your bios for Vt-x or SVM, on Intel or AMD respectively, and disable it.
