Tweaking And Tuning

I was tweaking my Windows for better performance. When I was done I tested out Valorant and my fps had dropped from 500-700 fps in game to about 90-200, with my CPU and GPU latency going from 1-2 up to 10. I have been tweaking and debloating my Windows for years without an issue like this. I...
