Question Is this legit?

[codygriffy]

Someone gave this code to turn into a cmd file. He said it will help me boot faster and remove some latency from gaming. Is there anything fishy about these lines?

Let's just put it this way. If you run that, or anything else, without knowing exactly what it does YOURSELF, then you deserve whatever outcome you end up with. For the record, some of those you definitely don't want to run with. And that's all you're getting from me on that.

Did someone on THIS forum give you that?

Yeah run that and see what happens. If I were you, I’d stay away from the person who gave you that.

if a guy in the street came up to you with a drink and wanted you to drink it would you without knowing what’s in it? Would you go around asking other people if it was legit?

use common sense watch this. This is where I got my inspiration for my question to you and this is what you should do to that file

Don't.

'faster boot time' ?
So what.

Can you personally explain what each and every line in there does, and what its effects will be?

 

[Tac 25]

as a safety precaution, if it's given by a person you don't know very well... then don't run it.

As a matter of common sense, even if it IS somebody you know well, don't run it. You have no idea if THEY got it from somebody who knew what the hell they were doing (Or knew, but was malicious) anyhow.

In any case, PCs are quite well-optimized to the degree that "tweaks" like these generally have little to no real-world value.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Faster boot times, get a faster SSD. Gaming latency could also be storage related, but your ISP also could be a factor, as many games are online now. Do not use some questionable command line stuff.

If you are running Windows 11 with TPM, this may prevent Windows from booting at all. Disabling TPM will also break a few online games. Valorant comes to mind, not sure if anyone else went down that path yet, but it is likely to happen over time as older hardware/OS are retired

Most everything else is related to boot times specifically and it is mostly disabling the visual features of the Windows boot sequence. Literally pointless for gaming performance.

Some of those others may already be disabled by default depending on your BIOS config.

You would be better off just uninstalling or closing applications you normally leave running in the background before gaming.

Which is why I said
