Open Registry Editor and run regedit.
Hello! I've noticed many videos discussing ways to improve Windows 10 speed. Essentially, the idea is to make full use of your hardware and eliminate any restrictions set by the operating system. These adjustments can be helpful, but whether they actually work depends on your specific setup. If they do make a difference, consider checking your RAM, disk speed, and background processes for optimization opportunities.
Modifying registry settings can improve performance. It’s best to avoid editing regedit unless you’re certain of what you’re doing. If you’re unsure, it’s usually safer not to touch it. Making changes without understanding them often leads to more problems than benefits, and you probably won’t notice any improvement.
Before opening regedit, have you checked the power settings? Turn off all unnecessary features in Windows 10. You’ll find helpful tutorials on YouTube for configuring Windows for gaming; just watch a few and skip anything you’ve already done or are familiar with.
I haven't tried it myself, but people say it can assist https://bitsum.com/
It seems you've already tried some adjustments on your main system before, and everything functioned well. I’m familiar with regedit, but I’m not sure where to find the relevant entries. You’ve set up your primary station and maximized its performance. I was hoping for an ultrabook that feels fast, especially since it’s designed for long battery use. Even after tweaking, my CPU is already running at full capacity, though I’ll keep exploring ways to boost it further. Thanks!
Before starting any work, verify if your device is experiencing throttling. I faced an HP business-class laptop that felt quite new—about a year old—and was affected by thermal throttling. This happened because the thermal paste had dried up and wasn’t fully covering the CPU edges, which is common in laptops since they lack an IHS. Even though it seemed brand new, applying fresh thermal paste resolved the issue and significantly improved performance. It seems there might have been a manufacturing defect, possibly due to improper drying or application during assembly. (Alternatively, HP might have cut costs by using lower-quality paste.)
You could try running AIDA64 with a stress test to check if your CPU throttles and by how much. Keep in mind that modern CPUs often limit speed to avoid overheating, making it hard to detect throttling through standard tools. In the past, CPUs would cap at around 600MHz or 800MHz before reaching high temperatures, but now they can run closer to 60°C with fluctuating speeds. Software might not capture these changes accurately, leading to a misleading steady reading.
I wasn't aware of that before, thank you! I ran the test and, as predicted, it didn't slow down. I thought it was normal given this machine lacks active cooling and I've noticed it getting warmer in the past.
