Safe
Backup and restore point
Create a Windows restore point and export key registry areas before tuning.

Manifest-tracked Windows 11 tuning
Tune your gaming PC without losing the undo button.
A source-cited toolkit for Windows 11 performance tweaks, gaming latency checks, clean driver paths, and aggressive opt-ins with a clear revert contract.
Admin PowerShell
cd "<path-to-repo>"; .\launcher.ps1
01
Launcher first
Run one guided menu instead of guessing which script to start with.
02
Tracked rollback
Advanced changes capture pre-toolkit state before they mutate Windows.
03
Trade-offs visible
Anti-cheat, reboot, disk, and security impact are called out before you run.
Runbook
Pick the path that matches your risk tolerance.
Start with the launcher unless you already know the exact phase you want. The aggressive full-stack apply exists, but it is not the default recommendation.
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.

Everything is grouped by intent, not mystery switches.
Filter by risk tier and use the paired restore scripts when you are testing one change at a time.
Safe
Hardware audits
Read-only checks for pagefile, DirectStorage, polling rate, MSI mode, RAM, CPU, and GPU.

Advanced
Power and services
Performance power plan, service trimming, startup delay, and background task cleanup.
2 power plan\configure-power.ps1
Advanced
GPU path
Driver install helpers, MSI mode, ReBAR checks, NVIDIA P0, and AMD ULPS opt-ins.
6 gpu\install-gpu-driver.ps1
Advanced
Network latency
Adapter power settings, RSS tuning, RSC, interrupt moderation, DNS, and Nagle-related flags.

Trade-off
Security vs performance
Opt-in scripts for VBS, HVCI, LSA protection, DEP, Defender, and Spectre/Meltdown toggles.

Safety model
Aggressive tuning, but with guardrails you can audit.
The toolkit is built for people who want performance knobs without black-box behavior. Every meaningful mutation is paired with 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.
What makes it different
Built more like a release artifact than a random optimizer zip.
Manifest rollback
Tracked registry and service writes are captured under ProgramData before mutation.
Source-cited scripts
Headers point to Microsoft Learn, vendor docs, or upstream project context.
No hidden binaries
Third-party tools are downloaded at runtime and verified by SHA-256.
Trade-off labels
Security and anti-cheat implications are visible before you run the risky path.
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.
