Tune the PCKeep the undo
Gaming tweaks with risk labels, a backup step, and a revert script. Admin PowerShell. No bundled binaries.
Built like a release, not a zip of mystery scripts.
Start in the launcher. Verify before you apply. Aggressive mode exists, and it is not the default.
Launcher first
One elevated menu. Backup, verify, apply, revert, or a single category. No guessing which script to start.
Tracked undo
Advanced writes capture pre-toolkit state under ProgramData before they mutate Windows.
Apply everything is a choice
Full-stack apply is aggressive by design. Read the guide and the security trade-off scripts first.
Runbook
Pick the path that matches your risk tolerance.
Start with the launcher unless you already know the exact phase you want.
Recommended first run
Open the launcher from elevated PowerShell.
The launcher checks admin state, shows the current manifest status, and lets you run backup, verify, apply, revert, or individual tweak categories.
- Clone or download this repo to a local folder.
- Right-click PowerShell and choose Run as Administrator.
- Run the command, then use [V] verify before applying anything.
Admin PowerShell
cd "<path-to-repo>"
.\launcher.ps1Tweak catalog
Grouped by intent, not mystery switches.
Filter by risk tier. Use the paired restore scripts when you are testing one change at a time.
Backup and restore point
Create a Windows restore point and export key registry areas before tuning.
1 backup\create-backup.ps1
Hardware audits
Read-only checks for pagefile, DirectStorage, polling rate, MSI mode, RAM, CPU, and GPU.
12 hardware\check-*.ps1
Power and services
Performance power plan, service trimming, startup delay, and background task cleanup.
2 power plan\configure-power.ps1
GPU path
Driver install helpers, MSI mode, ReBAR checks, NVIDIA P0, and AMD ULPS opt-ins.
6 gpu\install-gpu-driver.ps1
Network latency
Adapter power settings, RSS tuning, RSC, interrupt moderation, DNS, and Nagle-related flags.
7 network\optimize-network.ps1
Security vs performance
Opt-in scripts for VBS, HVCI, LSA protection, DEP, Defender, and Spectre/Meltdown toggles.
8 security vs performance\configure-vbs.ps1
Safety model
Aggressive tuning, with guardrails you can audit.
For people who want performance knobs without black-box behavior. Every meaningful mutation has a restore path, source context, and risk label.
Before
Create backup and read GUIDE.md.
Do not start with Apply Everything on a school, work-managed, or mission-critical PC.
During
Apply one category at a time if you are troubleshooting.
Gaming laptops, hybrid GPUs, and anti-cheat-heavy setups deserve slower changes.
After
Run verify and reboot when the script says so.
If a change hurts stability, use the paired restore script or REVERT-EVERYTHING.ps1.
Admin PowerShell
One command to open the toolkit.
Clone the repo, elevate PowerShell, then paste this. Read GUIDE.md before Apply Everything.
cd "<path-to-repo>"; .\launcher.ps1
FAQ
Run it like a tool, not a superstition.
What should I run first?
Run .\launcher.ps1 from Administrator PowerShell, then use [V] verify and the backup path before applying changes.
Is Apply Everything safe?
It is aggressive by design. Use it only after reading the guide and understanding the Security Trade-off scripts.
Can I undo changes?
Use paired restore scripts for individual tweaks or .\REVERT-EVERYTHING.ps1 for the manifest-driven rollback path.
Can I test this from macOS?
No. The toolkit is developed here, but runtime testing must happen on Windows 11 with the manual checklist.
