Game Responsiveness

There is a way you can tweak up the game responsiveness of your PC. There are some PC games and multimedia streaming that use a service called the Multimedia Class Scheduler, also known as the MMCS service to boost up to about 80% of the capacity of the CPU. The function of this service is to prioritize the access to the entirety of CPU resources, whilst making sure that the low-priority programs in the background get their share of resources as well. So, do check out the command for this tweak if you want to tweak your system for all computer games. 

 

Network Throttling Feature

The Windows 10 and its predecessors have an internally run mechanism called network throttling. What it does is, for all resource-intensive commands and tasks, it chokes the network packets processing. Now this may get in the way of the Pc delivering to its full potential. You can bar this from happening while you have a high-power game running on your PC by turning off the throttle. The registry can be modified to achieve that. Again, for specific commands to deactivate the Network Throttling Index, look on the Internet.

Nagle’s Algorithm

You may or may not have heard about Nagle’s Algorithm, but it is an indispensable part of the Windows OS. It is a smart algorithm that fuses small packets together to create a larger one. This enables efficient transmission, which inevitably reflects on the throughput efficiency of your computer’s data transmission. You can try and disable the “nagling” feature to cut back on the latency that is found in some games. The algorithm is active by default in all Windows OS. You will need to manually turn it off to prevent latency.

Pre-Installed Apps

All Windows OS comes with a suite of pre-installed applications. They may not necessarily be of any use to you, but they are integrated in the OS, and that makes them party to common CPU resource access. Since they suck up CPU resources unnecessarily, they are also called “bloatware”. Treat your PC’s bloating syndrome by removing all these pre-installed software. If you find any use with these software, they can make life easier for you. If not, it is best to get rid of them before they slow your system down. This will not only ease the resource, but also free up some space in your hard drive to store important data that matters.

Try some of these to tweak Windows 10 and it’s only a matter of time before your PC makes you feel on top of your game.
