Windows 10 optimization reddit

# GUIDE UPDATED 12 APRIL 2025 #

Hey, here’s a quick guide how to optimize your windows to the best possible performance without breaking the system and safe. This is mainly for Windows 10 \ 11 Home \ professional editions.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO INSTALL WINDOWS 11 LTSC IF ITS A FRESH INSTALL SINCE IT COMES WITH ALMOST ZERO BLOAT BY DEFAULT, STILL RECOMMEND USING THIS GUIDE AFTER.

Make sure you follow the guide with all your attention.

Before you start:

• Create a restore point (search start-menu for restore point and click «create new restore point»)

• Pay attention to what you are disabling and if you actually need that functionality, specially for Microsoft services like OneDrive.

• Game Pass\Xbox app works, doesn’t break with this guide

Tools needed

• These tools are open-source and virus free

• It’s always possible to revert back settings even without a restore point

• Download Nvidia Clean Install

• Download Display Driver Uninstaller (scroll down, click «Click here for DOWNLOAD & SUPPORT». Scroll down in the new page and click «Official Download Here». No direct link, this way I’m making sure you always get the latest version)

Chris Titus debloat settings

• Open powershell (Run as Admin)

• Copy the command below to open the Chris Titus tool

• This is all you need to fully debloat windows without being too aggressive or breaking the system with meaningful stuff.

Uninstalling drivers, the right way

• Before installing a new driver, uninstall it with Display Driver Uninstaller

• Follow the settings according to the picture. Safe mode is recommended but not necessary

• Nvidia Clean installer is a program that lets you download the latest drivers and customize what’s going to be included. Also possible to disable telemetry and a bunch of extra things that only runs in the background sending data to Nvidia servers.

• AMD users can follow this guide , just skip step 4 and install drivers from AMD website.

• Create a Restore point just in case

Install drivers without telemetry and bloatware (NVIDIA USERS ONLY)

• The drivers are downloaded from Nvidia servers, they are official, this program just modifies what’s installing or not, included inside the whole package

• Takes less space on disk and reduces stutters in game caused by random Nvidia processes to be running in the background.

• Follow the pictures below and their descriptions for optimal installation

• No need to do this each time you update drivers, just run NVCleanstall and upgrade with same settings below.

• If you use Nvidia GeForce experience to record gameplay I suggest you to enable it, this guide doesn’t.

Done, enjoy your pc

• AMD users install drivers from amd.com , normally

• Enjoy your pc, in case something breaks, check what you disabled in the settings above on all programs or just use a restore point.

• This method is used by myself and I never ever had a problem or crashes

• Any doubts, comment bellow, ill try to answer everything
