Taming Win11 for gaming?
I just upgraded. Sigh :(

I need a guide for how to uninstall all the junk apps and remove any performance killing services. I knew how to tame Win10. Now I gotta learn all over again. I prefer a guide that is not a video.

Thanks.

Should be basicaly the same As you upgraded your system hasn't changed.
. I have both OS here on separate PC and didnt notice much changed other than access to everything.
Open your taskmanager place it on the performance tab.

Where the start menu used to be is now the apps. The weather, news, sports, etc crap is back. I hope they can still be completely disabled. I have no idea what new services there may be.
You should consider using NTlite if you haven't.
NTlite. Thanks. Looks good.

Crap. The first game I just tried in Borderlands 2 and it has stutters when turning left and right. Now I gotta figure out why. :(

If you end up using it I can share my preset file so you can just apply the things I did to your image to get you started. Sucks to do all that stuff over and over.

Windows 11 is perfect for gaming out of the box. Had zero issues with it.

Someone tried a heavily "unbloated" Win11 vs base Win11. There where basically no FPS difference in games.

But you can just go to the start menu and right click programs you don't want and uninstall it. It won't do anything though for your FPS.
Did you do a bios change in order to install Windows 11 or was it already set and ready for Windows 11 to be installed?

It was already set. Secure boot/UEFI and TPM 2.0 has been turned on forever.

You are on 25H2? Did you ever have to apply fixes for Borderlands 2 on Windows 10 like disabling full screen optimizations or using Vulkan?

No idea what I got. I just today upgraded it. I never had to tweak Win10 for B2.

Oh you upgraded? That might have something to do with it but I can't be sure. My primary advice would be to do a fresh install but I guess theoretically that isn't supposed to make any difference at all for fps if core files would end up exactly the same. Otherwise though I can't explain it except that I am now remembering/recollecting some claims that Windows 11 did take a performance hit over 10.
some people like the windows "playbooks" but i switched to linux same time they come out so i dunno
