Title: Increasing Performance On A Windows 10 PC Games And Programs
Post by: oldgamerz on December 18, 2021, 11:54:37 am
ok so I wanted to discuss this program I found to be quite helpful in playing The Sims 2 on PC and said other games on the windows 10  PC's out there. How many of you know about the Standby issue, where the longer you keep your windows 10 PC running the more RAM in turn gets hogged up by the Standby memory?

 and if you don't often empty the RAM status in your computer things can go sour, programs and even games can crash including music servers like mine, if you ever keep a computer on long enough time and who play a bunch of PC games without restarting constantly?

With the following program you hardly ever need to turn off or restart your PC for a reset in RAM performance when done properly


 but how many heard of "empty Standby list"?, and how to set it up so your computer will automatically release your RAM from being all taken up by Standby memory? And therefore increase many games often laggy performance rate.

With the 1st link I provided, you can get this free app that can increase game and OS performance on any windows 10 PC after you had them running and on for a long time and therefore prevent crashing in some games due to there otherwise not being enough free RAM available,

Now I got frekin' 16GB of RAM on my streaming computer, but before I installed the following program and got it set up properly 98% of all my frekin RAM was going into the damn useless standby memory from running my studio with Winamp,

and before using Winamp for my stream I was using Groove in which crashed during live air time on my radio station before. It was? annoying as hell I'll tell ya!

 I want to also hear your thoughts since my last thread was kind of dull. DO you use Empty Standby list the video in the 2nd link shows you how to use this app once you download it off the 1st link if you are interested

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE IT ONCE YOU GET THIS APP (not my video)

THIS 3RD LINK HERE IS FOR ANOTHER PROGRAM TO MANUALLY CLEAR OUT STANDBY MEMORY AND FREE YOUR RAM FROM THIS WINDOWS 10 BUG BUT THE PROGRAM IN THE FIRST LINK IS BETTER ONCE SET PROPERLY IN MY OWN OPINION.

https://microsoft-rammap.en.softonic.com/

every time you restart or turn your computer you need to type in "Task Scheduler" to open that up in the search bar below on all Windows 10 PC's then go to "Task Scheduler Library and run the task manually by right clicking and pressing run to run each time you actually do need to restart or turn off your PC for updates or something this can also help web servers as well, like my 24/7 radio station that is always playing music.

once you have it set up just enjoy your PC and your games performance rate and tell me if you see any performance increase in this thread below, Oldgamerz out ;)

(edit) last but not least is this article on this I'll post this last link here

Also you can type in "edit power plan" in windows search and tell your computer to use more power to make it run faster by using a "high performance" power option instead of power saver or balanced power plan

Task manager > Right click > Set Priority > High

Disable all startup apps in the Startup tab in Task Manager.
Update drivers.
Get a Solid State Drive (SSD) if Windows is on a Hard Drive (HDD) currently.
If you're on a tower, overclock. Just go to youtube and type in your motherboard or CPU model and search overclock with it.
If you're on a gaming laptop, download the brand name software as they often have "tuning" options.

Last, but certainly not least, get new hardware. Games like DOOM Eternal, Final Fantasy XV, and Nier Replicant all recommend on Steam 6GB graphics cards or above. Make sure your CPU isn't the bottleneck either. Glad to hear you have 16GB of ram.
