optimize your Windows 10 PC for gaming which will result in high FPS boost and will reduce lag and input
delay while gaming.

Before starting any Windows optimization feature, we highly recommend taking a backup because Windows
10 is full of bugs.

Hence, let’s check out how you can improve gaming performance in Windows 10.

How to optimize Windows 10 for gaming & performance

Method 1. Increase Windows 10 performance with Updated Drivers


There are many automated tools such as Driver Easy we use for automatically updating system drivers. Use

Method 2. Use Game Booster and Boost Mode

Method 3. Increase virtual memory


Increasing Virtual Memory to twice the ram you have, this will help you get plenty of memory during playing
games on your Windows PC or Laptop. When the system runs out of ram, this memory is used, thus the more
you have, the better.

To adjust the virtual memory size on Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start Menu and select Settings.

2. Type performance, select Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.

3. In the new window, switch to the Advanced tab, click on Change… under the Virtual memory section.

4. In the Virtual memory window, uncheck the Automatically manage paging le size for all drives box at
the top of the same windows and then click on Custom size. Set it as double your actual ram.

5. Click OK to save settings.

Method 4. Optimize Windows 10 With Gaming Mode


Later releases of the Windows 10 operating system feature a gaming mode, built-in optimizations for gaming.
To nd out more, type Game Mode in the search bar then click the option that comes up and switch it to On.

Method 5. Disable Nagle’s Algorithm


Essentially, Nagle’s algorithm bundles data packets at the cost of a smoother internet connection. Having
Nagle’s algorithm enabled on your computer causes latency issues while playing games online.

To disable this and increase gaming performance on Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Windows Registry: Start > type regedit > Regedit.

2. Go to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

3. In the left-hand pane, you’ll get to a collection of folders, with lenames comprised of numbers and letters.
In order to access the correct le, match your IP address with the listed DhcpIPAddress or IPAddress in one
of these les as shown in the image below:

You can check your IP address by opening Command Prompt as Administrator and then entering ipcon g.

Find the “IPv4 address” listed under your current connection (typically Wireless LAN or Ethernet).

Once you’ve tracked down the IP address of your internet connection, create two DWORD Values: name one
TCPNoDelay and the other TcpAckFrequency. Once you’ve created the values, double-click on each and set
their parameters to 1. After that, double-click on each and set their parameters to 1.

This activates the two parameters, thereby disabling Nagle’s Algorithm. If you run into any issues, set their
parameter value back to 0 and they will be disabled.

Method 6. Max Power Plan to Improve Windows 10 Gaming


Depending on the power plan you have chosen, power management can be a miss or hit in Windows 10. This
option is quite useful for gaming laptop users who might want to save on battery life. However, Desktop users
don’t need to worry about this restriction, we can put the system in the High-performance Mode.

Here are the steps to change your power settings via the Settings screen:

1. Click on the Start menu and type in power plan in the search bar.

2. Click “Choose a power plan” and choose “Show additional plans”.

3. Moving on, just select the power plan to Ultimate Performance Mode. If you do not see Ultimate
Performance Mode, start a command prompt “cmd.exe” as Administrator

In the command prompt, copy & paste the below command and press Enter:

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

This is another tip that can help people with low end PC/laptops to tweak Windows 10 for gaming and even
productivity.

Note: laptop users your battery will drain faster.

Method 7. Disable system visual e ects


When you turn visual e ects o , then the graphics and appearance will look a little crappy, but the
performance will get a considerable boost. We highly recommend doing this before starting the high-end
games on low-end PCs.

stock Windows apps.

help to improve the performance. Here are the steps to defragment drives:

1. Click on the Start menu and type in Defragment in the search bar.

2. Select Defragment and Optimize Drives from the results and open it.

https://www.teamos-hkrg.com/threads/15-tips-to-optimize-windows-10-for-gaming-performance-in-2020.124718/ 11/17
9/13/2020 (1) Tutorials - 15 Tips To Optimize Windows 10 For Gaming & Performance in 2020 | Team OS : Your Only Destination To Custom OS !!

Installing DirectX 12 (the latest version of Microsoft’s popular API tool) can signi cantly boost your PC/laptop
gaming performance. These are key elements required for game optimization. It o ers support for multiple
GPU and CPU cores, lowered power consumption, better frame-rates, and enhanced graphical e ects. By
making sure your PC or laptop is having the latest version of DirectX 12, your PC or laptop faster for gaming.

Method 13. Prevent Steam From Auto-Updating Games


If you use Windows to play games, you’re probably buying and installing games via Steam.

One of the most resource-consuming features is the steam update features, which will not enable you to
prevent automatic updates across all your games. This may eat up memory by limiting your network
connectivity with background updates or updating games you don’t play.

To prevent Steam from updating games in the background, navigate to your Steam client and set your update
options under Steam > Settings > Downloads.

Untick Allow downloads during gameplay to prevent Steam from updating content while you’re gaming.

To prevent Steam from downloading updates for largely-unused games right-click on each of the installed
games in your Library in question and click Properties.

Under Automatic Updates, change Always keep this game up to date to Only update this game when I
launch it.

Method 14. Install Windows on A SSD to optimize windows


We know you are probably thinking that upgrading and installing a Solid State Drive (SSD) won’t have a major
impact on games, in terms of performance at least. Yes, you are correct but this method isn’t just exclusive to
making games run faster.

SSDs are really faster than your traditional hard drive. With SSD, you will see much faster load times in games,
and Windows boots up quicker too.

Method 15. Reset Windows


If your PC or Laptop is running slow to the point that it cannot bear anymore, we suggest you reset Windows
for a fresh start. Reset the system and keep your personal les and do the following optimization again.
