The internet is 50% ripping others so I don’t usually give stuff like this a second thought. But this time I am going to issue a challenge…
Prove it.
Show me your performance tweaks. These will of course be stuff I haven’t already posted.
Here are the rules I use when I approach tweaks, they will apply in this case too:
– They must apply to the majority of users.
– They must not break anything.
– They must be verifiable via benchmarks. i.e. – I must be able to see these tweaks work by increased scores across machines.
Fail any of those and I will call you out. Do your homework. Most of the “tweaks” I see in forums have already been debunked here or elsewhere.
Might want to actually read this page first:

Well, those in the know, know that they are in the know, and know to ignore stupid comments by others saying “no no no” to what they know. 🙂
I value this site as one of the gems of the net. But in a democracy and a free world, everyone’s entitled to his own opinion, even if it’s unlike our own opinion.
Keep up the good work, Eric!

Mostly, I visit this site everyday to get the news that will keep me informed and up-to-date with issues relating to Windows Ten. I find the articles relevant, easy to read, and informative. Links given are always appreciated as they refer to other knowledgeable sites and add to what is presented here on TweakHound. The information and tweaks provided here meet my needs as a user of Windows Ten, and have made my understanding of the o/s and other facets of the internet that more interesting. Keep up the great work, Eric. I, for one, look forward to sharing your knowledge with my circle of friends.

Thank you Ziggy.

I don’t remember how or when I first stumbled on to tweakhound.com, but it’s one of my favorites. Everyday I check my email to see what’s new at tweakhound. Your quides are without question, well researched and thought out, and I use them. Plus, I enjoy Eric’s thoughts on the non tech stuff. Unfortunately, there is always somebody like AndiWandi. Who knows what his problem actually is. Your guides are simply the best on the web.
By the way, I’m an old retired IT guy from California who makes his home in Malaysia.

Thanks and you’re a long way from home!

I still find your tweaks fabulous. I would love to see you debunk this guide. I find some of the tweaks questionable.

Thank you Rylan. As to that other guide, I try not to single out people.

Like i mentioned some post earlier, TweakHound is my daily dose of vitamin for my IT thirst.
I became mad at Ms. AndiWandi for being so disrespectful so much so that I was going ahead to post on guru3dforums. But then i realized Ms. AndiWandi is just a poor soul who wants things handed to her on a plate (someone who wants a single software/ guide to make her pc fast like a scriptkiddie without getting a decent hardware herself), who doesnt want to read , learn and appreciate the knowledge shared here alongwith credible links.
So being in the Christmas mood, I forgave her.
As to Eric, keep up the good work and spread the gift of Knowledge Ho Ho Ho

Thank you sir. ☺️

I found your site just a year ago, when I used to tweak the crap out of my system not knowing what they do. I easily trusted registry hacks and YouTubers who were clearly trying to trick little kids into tweaking their machine with snake oil for a quick buck. However I came across your site, read a lot of your articles, and I immediately reset my Windows 10, removed all the tweaking tutorials from my bookmarks, and bookmarked your website. I found out that tweaking less is best, and that I learnt from you. Thank you so much. You and MatHD from Bootcampdrivers are the only ones I trust when in comes to IT/tech stuff. I often teach my friends about how you taught me to tweak your system and how to maintain it and removed useless things on their computers for them. Have a happy new year, and much love from S.Korea <3 (im also moderator on the website i cited down below, im using the same username as my email so feel free to take a peek)
